Cori Broadus has some good news to share!
The singer recently shared another update on her kidney biopsy on social media. The news of her health struggles has been a source of concern for her family. However, the latest update is filled with positivity as Cori shared that "everything went well" during her procedure.
Kidney biopsy is a medical procedure that involves removing a small piece of kidney tissue to test for any abnormalities or diseases. The process is typically performed under local anesthesia, and patients can go home the same day.

While the procedure can be nerve-wracking, the legendary rapper Snoop Dogg's daughter still summoned the courage to go through with it. The star decided to use her Instagram story to keep fans up to date on what was happening from the day before until she got to the hospital and even after.
In the first, she shared a picture of a cartoon character at the steering wheel of a car. One noticeable thing about the expression on its face was that it looked sad and apprehensive, which is what she must have been feeling.
Because she immediately wrote above the animation, "Mood because my kidney biopsy (part 2) is tomorrow 😭😭😭." Then at the bottom, "But they're putting me to sleep, so should be allll 👍🏾."
In a four-second clip, it appeared to be the following day which was the day of the biopsy. She sat with fiancé Wayne Deuce — both had face masks on, at the hospital waiting to be attended to and wrote across it, "W my right-hand man literally."
In the next story, she shared a picture of herself still looking sleepy, probably the lasting effects of the anesthesia. She lay on a bed dressed in a hospital gown and a head covering, smiling tiredly at the camera as several pieces of hospital equipment could be seen in the background.
Broadus gave an update in a short note above, writing, "She did it! Everything went well, I have to stay for 6 hours to make sure no bleeding or anything." The last was a picture of a "Hello Kitty" doll her beau bought to make her feel better about the successful procedure. She appreciated him by writing, "Thank youuu @wayneduece 🥺."
Fans will recall that she had gone in to get the biopsy done before but was sent home. The Blast reported that she had faced numerous health challenges from a young age, including a lupus diagnosis and weight gain from steroids.
Cori posted a worried message on her Instagram Story before her kidney biopsy, saying she was scared as the last time she had one was when she was 7 or 8 years old. In a later update, she was seen wearing a nose mask with her fiancé, leaning on his shoulder for much-needed support.
In another photo, she was lying in a hospital bed, throwing the peace sign, and wearing a hospital gown and head covering. Her elevated blood pressure and heart rate caused them to reschedule the procedure and have the singer see a cardiologist for clearance.

Despite her health struggles, Cori's positive attitude and determination inspire others facing similar issues. The Blast noted that she posted a video without audio showing her with dark patches on her face, sporting long braids and wearing a white robe.
She partly wrote, "I know I'm sick & some things are unfortunate, but the goal is to feel better, get better and get off all these medications that are mentally making me goooo insane 😭😭.."
The California native revealed increased anxiety levels, inability to relax, and constantly on the go from 6 to 7 in the morning. She also shared a photo of a bag filled with pink and gray pill vials, each labeled with the days of the week, arranged on a marble counter.
She noted the daily regimen of pills she must take twice a day at the same time before promising to show how she fills them and their purpose. The entrepreneur expressed her gratitude for her lupus being somewhat controlled.
The last slide showed that she also takes her blood pressure daily and documents the readings on a notepad, noting that she was trying to reduce salt intake.
