Snoop Dogg's baby girl has welcomed a baby girl!
On Friday, the rapper's only daughter, Cori Broadus, took to Instagram to share that she and her fiancé Wayne Deuce had welcomed their first child. Broadus, 25, revealed that she gave birth to her baby girl three months early, at only 25 weeks.
"The princess arrived at 6 months 🥹👶🏽🎀," Broadus captioned a black-and-white photo of her newborn's foot, above. "I've cried and cried, I've compared and compared, blaming myself because I wasn't able to give her all that she needed. But no matter what God always shows me that He got me!"
"Baby girl came at 25 weeks today and she's the best!! Thank You God for getting me this far 🙏," she continued, adding the hashtags "#nicubaby" and "#25weeks."
Broadus shared more details on her Instagram Stories, revealing that she delivered her daughter via cesarean section.
Alongside a photo of her lying on what appeared to be an operating table, she wrote, "1st c-section was success:) s/o to the man up above 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾."
In a follow-up side, Broadus shared a photo from her hospital bed, and recalled what led up to her baby's birth.
"Got to the doctors yesterday thinking I just had a bad case of gas.. whole time I was developing 'HELLP SYNDROME,' which is [a] very severe [a]nd can even cause death if untreated...," she wrote.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, HELLP Syndrome is a "very rare pregnancy complication that mainly affects your blood and liver," noting that it's related to preclampsia. The acronym stands for Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes and Low Platelet count.
Broadus continued, "Doctors told me thank you for coming and if I would've waited a few more days it would've been really bad."
She concluded her post by sharing a message for other women, writing, "Ladies please listen to your bodies and don't believe everything you see on TIKTOK (talking to myself lowkey)."
Broadus' mom, Shante, shared a comment on her daughter's post. "My Berri 🙏🏽🙏🏽," she wrote. Snoop, meanwhile, reshared an Instagram post about the news on his Stories.
Broadus is Snoop and Shante's youngest child. The couple also shares sons Corde, 30, and Cordell, 28," while Snoop is also a dad to son Julian, 26, from a previous relationship.
Broadus' baby girl makes Snoop a grandfather for the eighth time. Snoop has three grandchildren through his son Cordell -- Cordoba, 5, Chateau, 3, and Symphony, almost two -- and is a grandfather to his son Corde's four children: Zion, 10, Elleven, 6, Sky, 4, and Kai, who tragically passed away at only 10 days old in 2019.
