Snoop Dogg’s daughter Cori Broadus opens up about her health.

In the premiere episode of the E! Documentations Snoop’s Fatherhood: Cori & Wayne’s StoryCori, 25, spoke about her lupus diagnosis at age 6 and how it has affected her mental health over the years.

“Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always been depressed and always asked myself, ‘Why me?’ ” she said on the Dec. 5 episode. “It was already hard being young and having lupus. Constantly going to the doctor and taking blood pressure medication. When COVID hit, I was just in a dark, deep place World.”

According to the Mayo Clinic, lupus is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. The disease has no cure and is often difficult to diagnose because the symptoms are similar to those of other diseases.

Cori, who Snoop, 53, shares with his wife Shante Broadus, said she was suicidal at one point during the pandemic and ended up in a mental health facility for treatment for depression.

“I was in a mental institution because I tried to commit suicide in 2021,” she said, sharing that her fiancé Wayne Duece has been an important part of her support system since the beginning of their relationship.

“I’m so lucky to have Wayne, but we’re all going through something. Everything will be fine, and in time the end of the world will come,” Cori noted.

The musician also revealed that she coped with the launch of her cosmetics line Choc Factory by throwing herself into work.

“I was like, ‘Okay, girl, you gotta get out of this—,'” she recalled during a confessional. “So I looked online for hobbies and came across lip gloss makeup. I thought, ‘I love a lip gloss moment.’ I’m like, ‘This is going to be awesome, let’s do it.'”

Elsewhere in the episode, Cori – who releases music under the moniker Choc – spoke to her best friend Itali Miller about how she’s working to manage her lupus and take care of her mental health.

“I’ve been off my medication for four or five months now,” she told Miller. “I went to the doctor and my lab results looked better than ever. I’m still very, very tired, but my body doesn’t hurt as much anymore.”

Cori has been open about her medical issues and treatments. In January this year, the musician revealed that she had suffered a “severe” stroke, causing her and Duece to put their wedding plans on hold.

In September 2023, she told PEOPLE that she had decided to forego medications to treat her lupus and instead turn to holistic treatments, including increasing exercise and consuming herbs, sea moss and teas.

“I was fine, better than ever,” she said at the time, adding that she chose the “all natural” approach because her regimented routine made her “feel like I was going crazy.”

“I have been taking medication since I was six years old and have been dependent on these medications my entire life. That’s why I wanted something better for myself,” she explained. “I wanted to change because it just became a lot. I am only 24 years old and take 10 to 12 tablets every day. So I just went cold turkey.”

“There are days when I am sick, but I am still blessed and able to do what I love to do and tell my story,” Cori added. “But then there are days when I think, ‘Wow, I wish I wasn’t sick.’ What would my life be like if I was just a normal girl? It’s part of being human. You will have bad days, but not always good days.”
