We are sad to report that Snoop Dogg’s eldest son, Corde Broadus, lost his newborn son Kai Love just 10 days after his birth.

Broadus, who is a musician himself, shared the tragic news on Instagram with a video of his daughter Eleven kissing the newborn. “My Son Kai brought so much love and positivity into this world” the 25-year-old. “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.”
