Snoop Dogg’s grandson has died aged just 10 days old.

The rapper’s eldest son, Corde Broadus, shared the news in a social media post on Friday.

“My son Kai brought so much love and positivity into this world,” Broadus wrote on Instagram.

“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.”

The baby was born on 15 September and died on 25 September, according to the father’s post.

Snoop – real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr – hasn’t commented publicly on the death.

Broadus, 25, has two other children: a daughter named Eleven and a son named Zion.
