Snoop Dogg's daughter Cori Broadus is updating fans about her health days after she suffered a severe stroke due to her lupus condition.
The 24-year-old had a major health scare days ago when she found herself hospitalized. Now, Cori is in good spirits and is lettings fans in on the process.
Snoop Dogg's Daughter's Kidneys Are Improving After Stroke
In an Instagram Story update, Cori shared the positive news with her 659,000 followers. She uploaded a bathroom selfie of her looking healthy and happy while dressed in her hospital gown and giving a thumbs up to the camera.
"God is working overtime you hear me! My kidneys were doing terrible...doctors came in this am and said they are improving so much š„ŗ," she wrote. In a follow-up post, the Instagram personality posed with her nephews and nieces while on the hospital bed.
Recall that on January 18, Cori shocked fans with the news of her health scare and emergency hospitalization via her Instagram Story. She shared a snap of her hospital bed alongside the heartbreaking announcement: "I had a severe stroke this a.m. I started breaking down crying when they told me."
In the next slide, the "Daddy's Girl" singer lamented her predicament, writing, "Like Iām only 24, what did I do in my past to deserve all of this," alongside a selfie of her in a pink hoodie and a nose mask.
Cori has been diagnosed with lupus since she was six and her battle with the autoimmune disease has led to several hospital incidents. In 2021, the daughter of the famous rapper had a suicide attempt which she opened up about in an emotional Instagram post.
"The last few weeks, my mental has not been so great. At one point, I tried to end my life, but you & my family really gave me a purpose to live & helped me realize life is much more than materialistic things & you gotta just keep pushing through the bullshit. THANK YOU."
Months before her emergency hospitalization, Cori, during an interview with People Magazine, revealed that she ditched her medicine for holistic approaches. "I stopped taking all of my medication like five months ago. I'm just doing everything natural, all types of herbs, sea moss, teas," she declared.
Cori continued, "I started working out, drinking lots of water. So now I think my body's like, okay, this is the new program, and she's getting used to it," explaining that she made the transition after her longtime use of medications made her "feel like I was going insane."
In her words: "I've had medication since I was 6 years old, depending on these drugs all my life. So I wanted better for myself. I wanted to change because it just became a lot. I'm only 24 years old, taking 10 to 12 pills every single day. So I kind of just went cold Turkey."
Despite making progress with her holistic treatment, Cori explained that she needed to adopt more lifestyle changes to boost her health. "It's continuously a learning process because thereās so much more I could be doing," she noted.

Stage 3 was a better option than stage 4, which meant Cori would require chemotherapy. Nonetheless, doctors considered putting her on Benlysta, a treatment option administered through a monthly shot or weekly injection.
The television personality noted that doctors treated her "aggressively" over her safety because her kidneys were once on stage 4. She also stated that her current stage was reversible and insisted her kidneys were okay despite being "inflamed."
