“To My Fifth G Baby […] Kai Love 9-15-19/9-25-19,” she captioned the emotional video of her singing along to The Dells’ 1971 hit “The Love We Had Stays on My Mind”.

Snoop also took to Instagram to mourn the loss of his grandson with a few words of hope in this difficult time.
Later that evening, he shared a photo of himself at his previously scheduled Bristow show.
“My safe haven,” he captioned the photo.
Naturally, his feed has been full of condolences from his friends and fans.
Including love from Martha Stewart and LL Cool J.
Sadly, in the days following his son’s death, Corde has been made aware that there are fake GoFundMe accounts set up in his name.
He’s letting fans know that it’s a scam, and that he would never ask fans for money.
“Never would I do this,” he captioned the photo of the fake fundraiser.
Fortunately, the fake account has since been removed, and the family can continue to grieve without worrying about those trying to make money off of his family’s tragedy.
