The music world — and millions of fans around the globe — are celebrating today as Cori Broadus, youngest daughter of legendary rapper Snoop Dogg, and her fiancé Wayne Deuce welcome their first child: a precious baby girl. The arrival comes after a roller‑coaster pregnancy journey marked by hope, faith, and a powerful testament to resilience.

On December 23, 2024, Cori publicly announced she was expecting her first child with Wayne Deuce, sharing that she discovered the pregnancy on October 28. With a mixture of surprise and joy, she told media this “baby is so unplanned, but we are soooooo blessed.” The couple revealed that the child would be a girl — news that thrilled the Broadus family and fans alike.

For the 25‑year‑old Cori — a singer, reality‑TV personality, and advocate — the announcement carried extra emotional weight. Diagnosed with lupus at age 6, her pregnancy was considered high‑risk, prompting concern among doctors for both her and the baby. Despite this, Cori embraced the challenge with faith, promising to raise her “mini me” with love, strength, and confidence. BET+2thenews.com.pk+2

In her announcement, Cori spoke openly about wanting to give her daughter something she once lacked herself: self‑assurance. “Growing up, I wasn’t the most confident… I want to make sure my daughter knows she’s beautiful and loved,” she said. Wayne Deuce — equally excited — said he couldn’t wait to build a life and future for their child, and welcomed the chance to watch “someone that looks like her mom” grow. BET+2menzmag.com+2

💖 A Surprise Arrival: Early Birth at 25 Weeks

But the arrival of their baby came sooner than anyone expected. On February 28, 2025, Cori and Wayne shared the news: their daughter had arrived at just 25 weeks gestation — three months early. The “princess,” as Cori lovingly called her, was delivered via emergency cesarean section after complications due to a condition called HELLP syndrome, a rare and serious pregnancy complication. iHeart+2People.com+2

Despite the sudden early birth and associated risks, the couple’s public post radiated gratitude and hope. Cori shared a black‑and‑white photo of her newborn’s tiny foot, captioning the moment with emotional honesty: “The princess arrived at 6 months… Baby girl came at 25 weeks today and she’s perfect as ever!” People.com+2Toofab+2

In a subsequent post she admitted to moments of fear and guilt: “I’ve cried and cried, I’ve compared and compared, blaming myself because I wasn’t able to give her all that she needed…” But through it all, she reaffirmed her faith and gratitude: “But no matter what God always shows me that He got me!” V101.7+2Yahoo+2

While details about the baby’s name remain private, the couple and their broad network of family and fans are rallying around the newborn and new parents.

For Cori, motherhood comes with both joy and challenge. The complication with HELLP syndrome was a serious concern, especially given her longstanding lupus diagnosis. Doctors had been monitoring the pregnancy closely; for Cori, each doctor’s visit represented a step of faith. The early arrival, though unexpected, seemed almost miraculous — a testament to medical care and sheer will. iHeart+2AOL+2

In the days following the birth, Cori candidly shared the heartbreak and gratitude of being a NICU mom. She described the emotional weight of seeing her baby in an incubator, writing that sometimes “seeing her like that breaks my heart.” Yet she also stressed gratitude: “Our baby has her five fingers, five toes… she’s healthy… she’s breathing.” Essence+1
