Snoop Dogg’s Grandson Dies at 10 Days Old
Snoop Dogg is mourning the loss of a grandson.
On Thursday (Sept. 26), Snoop's son, Corde Broadus, used an Instagram post to inform his followers that his 10-day-old son, Kai Love, died on Wednesday.
“Kai Love 9/15/19 – 9/25/19 ///// My Son Kai brought so much love and positivity into this world,” he wrote in the caption, alongside a video of his 13-month-old daughter Elleven Love kissing her baby brother in the hospital. “His energy will live on and these 10 days of love will always be special to us. Let’s all cherish life and those we love while we are here. Thank you ♻️."
In another image, there's a hospital sign bearing Kia Love's name and a death date along with the message, “Love + Light."
Corde did not reveal a cause of death. Snoop has not commented on the death, however, his wife, Shante Broadus, paid tribute to her grandson on her IG page.
In a video post, Shante sings lyrics from a classic soul song and croons that she will never forget about her grandson. In the caption, she writes, "To My Fifth G Baby Kai Love 9-15-19/9-25-19 ," along with the hashtags #TheLoveWeHadStaysOnMyMind and #MamaTae.
The rap veteran became a grandfather for the first time in January 2015, when Corde and his then-girlfriend, Jessica Kyzer, welcomed a baby boy named Zion. Corde has another child named Elleven he shares with his partner Soraya, who also gave birth to Kai.
