Snoop Dogg is navigating through a period of grief following the recent passing of his brother, and he’s taking a moment to express gratitude for the remaining members of his family.
The loss of Snoop’s younger brother, Bing Worthington, at the age of 44 has left a profound impact on the West Coast icon. On Tuesday (February 20), Snoop shared a heartfelt Instagram post, honoring his loved ones and acknowledging the support they’ve provided during this difficult time.
“Prayer n family getting my spirit bac in order. RIP @badabing33,” he captioned a video collage featuring his relatives, set to the backdrop of October London’s “Mulholland Drive.”
The post garnered support from notable figures such as radio host Big Boy, singer Monica, and actress Windi Washington, who all offered their condolences in the comments section.
Worthington, Snoop’s half-brother on his mother’s side, played various roles in Snoop Dogg’s career over the years. From tour managing to contributing to the album “Snoop Dogg Presents: Tha Eastsidaz” and even collaborating on business ventures like Snoop-branded skateboards and hot dogs, he was deeply involved in his brother’s endeavors. He also formed part of the rap duo Lifestyle.
In recent times, Bing co-founded a record label in Canada with Miguel Lopez, merging Dogg Records and Lopez’s Urban Heat. His passing comes less than two and a half years after the death of their mother, Beverly Tate, whom Snoop fondly remembered as an angel in an Instagram post from October 2021.
While the cause of Bing’s death remains undisclosed, his mother had been battling illness for some time. Snoop had previously reached out to his extensive network of friends, fans, and family, seeking prayers for her recovery. Responding to his call, figures like Jermaine Dupri, Warren G, Roxanne Shanté, Sheila E., Busta Rhymes, Xzibit, and Killer Mike expressed their support and offered their thoughts and prayers.
