AceShowbiz - Cori Broadus could use some company during her hospitalization after she suffered a "severe stroke." Giving an update after she revealed her major health setback earlier this week, the daughter of Snoop Dogg admitted that she feels "alone."
The singer opened up about her feelings during her stay at the hospital via Instagram Story. On Friday, February 19, she first thanked those who have shown love to her during the hard time, writing, "I truly appreciate all the love and support fr..."
Explaining why she decided to get candid about her health issue, the 24-year-old shared, "again I'm human and I go thru s**t like everybody else which is why I'm so open about my life because I know I feel alone but we are never alone." She went on noting, "someone is always going thru damn near the same [two brown heart emojis]."
Cori went on sharing her wish "to be home soon" as she remains hospitalized. In another Story, she shared pictures of stuff she received from her close ones, including some animal dolls, flower bouquets and a "get well" soon balloon.
Cori first revealed her medical emergency on Thursday. "I had a severe stroke this am," she wrote, adding two teary-eyed emojis. "I started breaking down crying when they told me." In a separate post, Cori lamented, "Like I'm only 24." She went on to question, "What did I do in my past to deserve all of this."
Cori's latest hospitalization came less than a year since she underwent surgery where a small piece of kidney tissue was removed to analyze any abnormalities. "Just got off the phone w my rheumatologist, and these are the results from the biopsy," she penned in February 2023. "3 is mild but still active. I would've had to take chemotherapy if I was at 4," she explained.
While doctors recommended she start Benlysta treatment, consisting of a shot once a month or by injection every week, the singer seemed to have been assured that her condition was still at a reversible stage.
In September 2022, Cori disclosed that she was diagnosed with lupus when she was just 6 years old. "So my immune system is super weak. I [have] experienced hair loss, so my mom came home one day with a bunch of scarves, and we were playing in scarves and just trying them [in] different ways," she said.
In an interview with PEOPLE issued in September 2023, however, Cori revealed that she had stopped taking her lupus medication and opted for a more holistic approach. "I'm just doing everything natural, all types of herbs, sea moss, teas. I started working out, drinking lots of water. So now I think my body's like, OK, this is the new program and she's getting used to it," she said.
"I've had medication since I was 6 years old, depending on these drugs all my life. So I wanted better for myself," she shared. "I wanted to change because it just became a lot. I'm only 24 years old, taking 10 to 12 pills every single day. So I kind of just went cold Turkey." She went on assuring at the time that she was "better than [she's] ever been" since going "all natural."
