Snoop Dogg's daughter recalls suffering a stroke while planning her wedding
The only daughter of rapper Snoop Dogg looked back at the time she suffered a stroke at 24 years old while she was planning her wedding.
Cori Broadus, who also has lupus, recalled a challenging time in her life in an upcoming three-part docuseries titled Snoop Dogg's Fatherhood: Cori & Wayne's Story.
"Doctor comes in, 'Cori, you had a stroke.' I'm hurting, I'm scared. Why is this happening to me?" Broadus said.
She and her fiancé Wayne Duece, a creative director at Death Row Records, which was co-founded by Snoop, were stressed from planning their wedding ceremony with a 750-person guest list in just four months.
"I'm a princess, so the princess gotta do it big," she said.
But Broadus and Duece were experiencing tensions amid concerns like having $10,000 (P582,000) shoes, a helicopter, and Justin Bieber as a singer in their wedding.
They had couple's therapy, during which Broadus said they were "in some deep trouble," prompting Duece to say, "There's no point in talking. Should I even get married?"
Moreover, Broadus was having second thoughts on her wedding gown.
"I hate my body," she said. "My dress, it's not making me feel sexy."
As for Snoop, "This s**t is gonna become a f**king nightmare!"
Broadus suffered a stroke in late January. At the time, she announced on Instagram that she “started breaking down crying” when doctors explained her condition.
“I’m only 24, what did I do in my past to deserve all of this,” she said.
She returned home, welcomed by a banner in a living room that read, "Welcome home."
Snoop's wife, music executive Shante Broadus, posted that her daughter is “the strongest person I know," while also calling her “my warrior” and “my princess.”
Snoop Dogg's Fatherhood: Cori & Wayne's Story premieres on Dec. 5.
The rapper shared the trailer of the docuseries on his Instagram page. It showed scenes from his concerts, Broadus's birthday weekend, and Duece's bachelor's party.
Snoop, born Calvin Broadus Jr., also shares sons Corde and Cordell with Shante. He also had a son Julian from another relationship.
