The world of hip-hop has been plunged into mourning as legendary rapper Snoop Dogg and his family face an unimaginable tragedy.

DailyMail.com can reveal that the “Gin and Juice” hitmaker is grieving the sudden and heartbreaking passing of his 10-month-old granddaughter, Codi Broadus. The infant, the daughter of Snoop’s son Cordell Broadus and his longtime partner Phia Barragan, has tragically passed away, leaving the tight-knit Broadus clan “shattered.”

A Family in Mourning

Taking to Instagram to share the news that no parent should ever have to deliver, Cordell Broadus posted a series of devastating photos and videos of his young daughter. The 27-year-old former football star turned fashion entrepreneur captioned the post with a simple yet soul-crushing message: “Rest in power, my sweet Codi. Daddy loves you forever.”

The footage showed a vibrant, smiling baby girl—a “literal ray of sunshine”—playing with her siblings and being cradled by her doting father.

Snoop Dogg, 54, known for being a devoted “Papa Snoop” to his many grandchildren, shared a somber video to his own social media shortly after the news broke. While he did not speak directly to the camera, the rapper posted a message about “trusting God’s plan even when you don’t understand it,” set to a soulful gospel track.

‘The Heavens Have a New Angel’

Sources close to the family say the loss has “blindided” the Broadus household. Snoop’s wife, Shante Broadus, also shared her grief online, posting a video of herself dancing tearfully to a R&B ballad with the caption: “To my granddaughter Codi… our hearts are heavy. Thank you for the 10 months of pure joy you gave us.”

The tragedy has sparked an outpouring of support from the A-list community. Longtime friend Martha Stewart, fellow rappers 50 Cent and Dr. Dre, and various members of the Kardashian family have reportedly reached out to offer their condolences.

“Our thoughts are with Snoop, Cordell, and the entire Broadus family,” wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter). “To lose a child is a pain no one should know. Rest in peace, little angel.”

A History of Heartbreak

This is not the first time the Broadus family has been touched by the tragedy of infant loss. In 2019, Snoop’s eldest son, Corde Broadus, lost his son Kai Love just 10 days after he was born.

At the time, the family was praised for their openness about the grieving process. This latest loss, occurring nearly a year into little Codi’s life, has been described by insiders as “doubly cruel.”

“Snoop is the rock of that family,” a source told DailyMail.com. “But this has hit him incredibly hard. He dotes on his grandkids. They are his world. Right now, the house is quiet, and the family is just holding onto each other.”

A Vibrant Life Cut Short

Codi Broadus was born last year to much fanfare within the family. Her father, Cordell, frequently shared updates on her milestones, from her first crawl to her infectious laugh that reportedly “lit up every room she was in.”

While the family has requested privacy regarding the specific circumstances of Codi’s passing, they have encouraged fans to “hold their loved ones closer tonight.”

The Broadus family has always been a symbol of strength and unity in the often-volatile world of show business. As they navigate this “unbearable” dark chapter, the hip-hop community stands in solidarity with them.

Snoop Dogg has often spoken about how his grandchildren changed his perspective on life, moving him away from his “gangsta” persona toward a more peaceful, family-oriented existence.

“I’m a grandfather of six now,” he told an interviewer last year. “And that’s my greatest hit. Every time I see them, it’s like a rebirth.”

Tributes Pour In

As the news spreads, the hashtag #RestInPeaceCodi has begun trending.

• “Snoop has given the world so much joy. I hope he feels the love coming back to him now,” one supporter wrote.

• “Cordell and Phia, we are crying with you. Codi was beautiful,” added another.

The Broadus family is expected to hold a private memorial service later this week. In lieu of flowers, sources say the family may ask for donations to organizations supporting infant health, though this has yet to be confirmed.

Our thoughts are with Snoop Dogg, Cordell Broadus, Phia Barragan, and everyone affected by this tragic loss.

Rest in peace, little angel. You were loved far beyond words.
