'I'm only 24': Daughter of rapper Snoop Dogg suffers 'severe' stroke

Cori Broadus, the daughter of rapper Snoop Dogg, was rushed to the hospital this week after suffering a "severe" stroke. She is just 24 years old.

On Thursday, Broadus posted a photo to her Instagram story showing herself lying in a hospital bed. She then revealed to her more than 650,000 followers that she had just suffered a stroke.

"I had a severe stroke this a.m. I started breaking down crying when they told me," she wrote. "Like I'm only 24; what did I do in my past to deserve all of this."

Broadus did not share any additional information about the concerning incident, including what type of stroke she suffered or what may have caused the stroke.

The prevalence of strokes in people Broadus' age is not exactly known. Data suggests that approximately 15% of strokes occur in people under age 50, but unfortunately, the data isn't stratified to show the prevalence of strokes in people ages 18-25, for example.

Still, one can assume that strokes are rare in young adults like Broadus because the risk factors for stroke have a compounding effect on the body. This, of course, is why it is alarming that a 24-year-old like Broadus would experience a "severe" stroke.

On the other hand, Broadus has been open about her health complications, mostly from an autoimmune disease known as Lupus. But she told People magazine last year that she had recently made changes to her lifestyle to improve her health.

"I've been good, better than I've ever been," she said. "I stopped taking all of my medication like five months ago. 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."

"I've had medication since I was 6 years old, depending on these drugs all my life. So I wanted better for myself," she explained. "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."

Fortunately, those changes had paid dividends.

"My body is not achy," Broadus told the magazine. 'When you have lupus, that's one of the number one things. You have achy joints, you have arthritis. And now I'm like, damn, I'm not complaining about my knees, my feet, my hands, my back."
