Snoop Dogg will soon welcome another grandchild to his family, this time thanks to his daughter Cori Broadus.
Broadus, the 25-year-old daughter of hip-hop icon and entrepreneur extraordinaire, confirmed this week that she is expecting a baby girl with fiancé Wayne Duece. She told E! News that the baby may be “unplanned,” but they are “blessed” nonetheless.
The Choc Factory Co. makeup executive told the outlet that she is four months pregnant and explained that doctors were concerned about her “high-risk pregnancy.” In recent years, Broadus has spoken openly about her health, including her experience living with the autoimmune disease lupus, which she was diagnosed with when she was 6 years old. She told E! She feels protected by God and that she and her baby are well.
While her father hoped to have a grandson, Broadus said she hopes to dote on her future daughter along with her fiancé. “I'm having a mini me,” she said.
Broadus revealed her pregnancy journey almost a year after saying she had suffered a “serious stroke.”
In his January announcement, he lamented the health scare: “I'm only 24, what did I do in my past to deserve all this?” Less than two weeks later, she said she was recovering and the stroke had landed her in the hospital.
Broadus is the youngest of Snoop Dogg's three children with his wife Shante Broadus. Earlier this month, the father-daughter duo opened up about their close relationship on “The Jennifer Hudson Show.”
“He's always there for me and shows me everything I need to know in life,” Broadus said. “But I think a lot of people have expectations because I'm their daughter, but I try to be me at all times.”
Snoop Dogg said he had to “get into the maturity lane” to understand his daughter and allow her to experience life for herself. “Your life is not my life,” he said.
Additionally, Snoop Dogg said he knew Duece was “the one” for his daughter. The couple got engaged in November 2022.
“His love is his love,” the rapper said, getting emotional, on the talk show. “But I also understand how much he loves her.”
Broadus and Duece kept the baby news under wraps until Monday, despite celebrating with a gender reveal over the weekend. Broadus shared several photos of the reveal on her Instagram Story. She said she was very sure she was expecting a baby and revealed that her baby girl will arrive in June. Duece also took to Instagram on Monday to celebrate.
“Girl daddy,” he captioned photos of an ultrasound, his fiancée's pregnancy test, and himself holding Broadus' pregnant belly. “I can't wait to meet you, girl.”
