Snoop Dogg’s brother, Bing Worthington, dead at 44
Snoop Dogg’s brother Bing Worthington has died at age 44.
The cause of death was not disclosed, but the “Gin and Juice” rapper posted a series of Instagram tributes to Worthington on Friday, captioning a picture of them in a dressing room, “@badabing33 always made us laugh 💙🙏🏾😢 u bac with moms.”
Snoop’s mother, Beverly Tate, died at the age of 70 in October 2021.
The rapper also shared another Instagram photo Friday of him and Worthington with their other brother, Jerry, in a cemetery.
The Post has contacted reps for Snoop for comment.
Worthington was Snoop’s half-brother on his mom’s side and worked professionally with the rapper as a roadie before becoming his tour manager.
“I started from the bottom, I ain’t just become the tour manager, I was just the road guy. I worked my way to the top,” Worthington told Vice in 2016.
“Even though I’m [Snoop’s] brother he didn’t give me a top-ranked position. You can’t just become a president without knowing anything about being the president,” he added. “You have to learn.”
Worthington also told the outlet that his career included doing “a lot of entrepreneur s–t,” including Snoop’s 1966 Cadillac DeVille and Dogg Skateboards.
“You name it. I come up with a lot of great concepts,” Worthington said.
Worthington also had his own music group, Lifestyle. Their song “Tha Jump Off” appeared in the 2006 rom-com “Van Wilder 2.”
Some of Snoop’s famous friends showed their support for the rapper in the Instagram comments.
“My condolences, bro,” rapper and producer D-Nice wrote.
Tyrese Gibson added, “🙏 stay strong big bro…. I’m sorry this happened….. Prayers love and light to you and your family…..”
“Sorry for all your Loss Brother,” Tamar Braxton added.
