Snoop Dogg says daughter Cori Broadus, 24, is 'doing a little better' following stroke
Snoop Dogg's daughter Cori Broadus is slowly recovered after she revealed she had a "severe" stroke last week.
"She's doing a little bit better," the rapper, 52, told People at the Los Angeles premiere of "The Underdoggs"on Tuesday.
Broadus, the 24-year-old daughter of Snoop Dogg and his wife Shante Broadus, also shared an update on Tuesday from her hospital bed.
"They took me off heaprin tonight (blood thinner) & most likely can go home tomorrow," she captioned a video on her Instagram Story.
In another clip of her being transported through the hospital, "Getting a CT scan of my chest to see exactly what caused my stroke."
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 asked, "what did I do in my past to deserve all of this."

Ten to 15% 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% 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.
