Snoop Dogg disclosed the death of his half-brother Bing Worthington on Friday (February 16). Snoop posted photos and videos of his brother on Instagram as he mourned the loss of Bing.
“@badabing33 always made us laugh,” Snoop wrote in one caption. “u bac with moms.”
Bing worked closely with Snoop over the years, going from a roadie to the Doggfather’s tour manager. Bing also pursued a music career as a member of the duo Lifestyle before settling into his role out of the spotlight.
The death of Bing added to what’s already been a rough start to 2024 for Snoop’s family. Last month, Snoop’s daughter Cori Broadus suffered a seizure that sent her to the hospital. Thankfully, the 24-year-old Broadus received a positive update on her health about a week after she was hospitalized.
“My ct scan of my chest came back normal and I’m going home today,” she told her Instagram followers on January 24. “I can prolly cry omgggg thank you thank you for the continuous prayers, love, etc.”
Snoop’s brother Bing passed away three years after their mother Beverly Tate died. She was 70.
“Thank u God for giving me an angel for a mother,” Snoop wrote in one of several social media posts following her death. “Walk by faith not by sight smile snoopy that’s what U would say when it was time to take a picture.”
Bing’s cause of death has not been revealed. He was 44.
AllHipHop sends our condolences to Snoop Dogg and his entire family.
