Tragedy strikes the music world as the beloved sibling of legendary rap figure Snoop Dogg departs too soon, leaving behind a profound legacy. The musician shared emotional Instagram tributes, underscoring the significant loss and celebrating the life of his younger brother.

In a heartrending turn of events, Bing Worthington Jr., the younger brother of iconic rapper Snoop Dogg, has passed away at the age of 44. The Orange County Sheriff’s Department in California confirmed that he died last Thursday, leaving a void in the hearts of his family and fans.

Snoop Dogg took to Instagram to express his grief and commemorate his brother’s life through a series of poignant posts. One reel captured a tender moment between Snoop Dogg, one of his sons, Bing, and their other brother, sharing laughter and jokes in a cemetery park, which illustrated the joy Bing brought to their lives.

The “Who Am I” artist’s caption, “🙏🏾😢 u bac with moms,” reflects a bittersweet sentiment, hinting at Bing’s heavenly reunion with their late mother, Beverly Tate, who passed away in 2021. Another post featured Bing and Cori Broadus‘ dad posing for a picture together, with the caption, “Until we meet again ☹️😔😢🙏🏾🕊️.” A third post showed a heartwarming snapshot of Bing with Beverly, both smiling, as he held a cake for her.

Bing was more than just a sibling to the rap mogul; he was an integral part of Snoop Dogg’s career, rising from a member of the rapper’s entourage to a tour manager and eventually becoming an executive producer at the record label named after his brother. His journey was marked by dedication and a passion for music.

Before his passing, Bing struggled significantly with the loss of his mom. Miguel Lopez, a close friend, remarked on Bing’s struggle, noting, “It’s been a tough time since his mom passed. He took it very hard. He was very close to her.”

This sentiment was mirrored in Bing’s commitment to his family and friends, as Miguel recalled, “He had a great heart, and the little things he did were huge things for us, like opening the doors to his family. He’s going to be missed as a friend above all. This label has to carry on in his honor.”

Reflecting on the days before Beverly’s passing, Snoop Dogg had previously shared what was thought to be a hopeful moment on Instagram, saying, “Happy Sunday me and my brothers went to c mama today and she opened up her eyes to c us and let us know she still fighting. God is good💕🙏🏾 thanks for all the prayers 1 day at a time.”

This sentiment now takes on a new depth as the family navigates the grief of losing another loved one. Survived by a partner and an adult son, Bing’s legacy is one of success, love, laughter, and loyalty.
