Snoop Dogg's daughter Cori Broadus, 24, says she suffered 'severe' stroke
Cori Broadus, the daughter of Snoop Dogg and his wife Shante Broadus, has been hospitalized after suffering from a "severe" stroke, she shared.
Broadus posted on her Instagram story from a hospital bed early Thursday morning, saying she "started breaking down crying" when doctors told her about the stroke.
In a follow-up post, she noted she is "only 24" and added, "what did I do in my past to deserve all of this."
USA TODAY has reached out to a rep for Snoop Dogg and Shante Broadus for comment.
Snoop Dogg and Shante Broadus, both 52, married in 1997 and share three children: Cori, Corde, 29, and Cordell Broadus, 26. Snoop Dogg has a third son, Julian, 25, from a separate relationship with Laurie Holmond.
Ten to 15 percent of all strokes occur in younger people, a number that has risen over recent decades. According to a 2016 study by the Journal of the American Heart Association, there is an increase of 43.8 percent in hospitalization rates in acute ischemic strokes — when a blood clot blocks blood vessels to the brain, leading to worse outcomes — for patients between ages 25 and 44, based on data between 2000 and 2010.
Some factors have been associated with the rise of stroke in young adults, such as high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes and recreational drug and alcohol use.
