Cori Broadus, the daughter of rapper and actor Snoop Dogg and his wife, Shante Taylor Broadus, revealed on social media Thursday that she suffered a “severe stroke. Broadus, 24, shared the message in an Instagram story. I had a severe stroke this am,” read the post, including two teary-eyed emojis.
“I started breaking down crying when they told me,” the caption concluded.”Like I’m only 24 what did I do in my past to deserve all of this,” read the caption on the second photo. Each year, 10% to 15% of the nearly 795,000 people in the United States who have a stroke are between the ages of 18 and 45,” according to the American Heart Association.
“Despite a decline in the general population, stroke rates – and hospitalizations for it – have increased by more than 40% among younger adults in the past several decades. In 2021, Broadus revealed in an Instagram post that she had been diagnosed with lupus at 6 years old, something she says ultimately contributed to poor mental health.
“I grew up with two light-skinned brothers, and I was the only chocolate one. I was overweight. I got lupus at 6, so I was overweight from being on steroids, and that automatically messed with my health … People looked at me like I was an alien,” Broadus said at the time.
According to the Lupus Foundation of America, “Lupus is a chronic (long-term) disease that can cause inflammation and pain in any part of your body. It’s an autoimmune disease, which means that your immune system — the body system that usually fights infections — attacks healthy tissue instead.” The LFA also notes “lupus increases your risk for heart disease.
