A few days later, Snoop confirmed to PEOPLE that his daughter was “doing a little bit better.” For Snoop, the ordeal gave him a new perspective on life as he said she was still in the hospital being treated. She’s also struggled with other health issues, including some emotional difficulties leading to a suicide attempt in 2021.

She told PEOPLE previously: “I’ve had medication since I was six years old, depending on these drugs all my life. So I wanted better for myself. 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.”
