Snoop Dogg Pays Tribute To Late Brother Bing Worthington
In a heartfelt gesture, rapper Snoop Dogg, also known as Calvin Broadus Jr., honored his half-brother Bing Worthington, who passed away at the age of 44 earlier this month. Sharing a poignant moment from Bing’s funeral on Instagram, Snoop Dogg expressed his deep love and respect for his late brother.
In the touching post, Snoop Dogg could be seen standing beside Bing casket, adorned in a striking all-red suit with a matching hat and dark sunglasses. With solemn reverence, he looked upon the casket while family members beside him bowed their heads.
“Everlastin love Beverly’s boys. Dirty left bing and snoopy 🔥🌹🕊. @badabing33 miss that laugh and the way u made us smile keep mama company till we get there 🕊️✌🏾,” he captioned.
The rapper received an outpouring of support from fans and friends, with actress Lena Waithe offering prayers and Michael Strahan sending comforting emojis.
“Keeping you prayed up.” Michael commented with a prayer hands emoji.
Lena wrote, “Keeping you prayed up.”
This tribute follows Snoop Dogg’s earlier announcement of Bing’s passing, where he shared a heartfelt photo alongside his late brother, expressing his grief and sorrow.
Bing was not only Snoop Dogg’s brother but also his longtime collaborator in the music industry. According to the late music executive, he co-wrote Snoop Dogg’s Be Thankful. From serving as a roadie to becoming tour manager and co-writing songs, their bond extended beyond family ties to professional partnership. Together, they ventured into various business endeavors, including Snoop Dogg Skateboards and Dogg Records.
Speaking about all the work he does alongside his half older brother, Bing said at the time, “I’m glad I’m a mystery. That’s good.”
“When I put the [Lifestyle] album out, I was putting everything in the music together. My guy was a great rapper and I was a great rapper, but I was like ‘why am I working on the music? I should be doing all the business side of this thing.’ I love meeting people, talking business, that got me going. That made me feel like another person,” he added.
Despite facing personal challenges, including his daughter Cori Broadus’ recent health scare, Snoop Dogg remains resilient. At the premiere of his film The Underdoggs, he shared that Cori was improving and was “doing a little bit better.”
