Due to her lupus-related issues, Cori had to stay in the hospital longer than expected. "I could have went home after my stroke, but my lupus wasn't doing so well," she explained. "My kidneys were failing. It was a lot going on."

Cori also spoke about Snoop Dogg’s struggle with hospital settings but noted how he overcame his discomfort to stay by her side.

"He gets weak around those types of settings," Cori shared. "He came and sat there with me and really just made sure that I was OK."
