Snoop Dogg is in shock. With heavy hearts, we announce the passing.
One of the founders of gangster rap, SNOOP Dogg has gone on to make music, movies, and star in big Hollywood hits.
We look at his brother Bing Worthingtonâs life and legacy here. Bing died at the age of 44 and helped him every step of the way.
He came into the world on May 4, 1979, in California.
Bing met Mymy Jordan at Long Beach High School, where they would later get married.
It was said that they had a son together, but they didnât want his name or date of birth to be made public, so they arenât available right now.
As a young musician, Bing worked as a roadie on Snoopâs shows before becoming the rap superstarâs tour manager.
His group Lifestyle also put out music, including the album Liquid Cocaine in 2003 and a lead single on the soundtrack for the movie Van Wilder 2.
Bing told Vice in an interview in 2016 that the release of his album in 2003 made him realize how good he was at running a music business.
He explained, âWhen I released the album, I put all the songs on it together.â
âBoth my boyfriend and I were great rappers, but I started to wonder why I was working on music. I should be taking care of all the business side of this.
âMeeting new people and talking business gets me going.â I felt like a different person after watching that.
Bing also helped write the song âBe Thankfulâ for Snoopâs rap group Tha Eastsidaz. He said it was the most important piece of music he had ever made.
He once said he liked working behind the scenes more than being on stage, and he gave up his dreams of becoming a rapper.
As of 2016, Bing had moved to Canada and merged his studio and production company, Dogg Records, with Miguel Lopezâs other hip-hop label, Urban Heat Legends.
What did Snoop Dogg have to do with Bing Worthington?
Snoop Dogg had a half-brother named Bing through his mother Beverly Tate.
After the sad death of Bing, Snoop Dogg wrote two posts on Instagram on February 16, 2024, to let people know about his half-brotherâs death.
In the old-school first clip, the musician stood in a cemetery and talked with his brother, their other brother Jerry, and their sister. The three of them were laughing and joking around.
In the postâs caption, Snoop wrote, â@badabing33 always made us laugh u bac with moms.â He also used a blue heart, a prayer, and a crying face.
In Snoopâs second post, there was a picture of him posing with Bing in a green room.
A dove and a prayer emoji were added by the rapper to the caption.
The cause of Bingâs death is still unknown.
Who are Snoop Doggâs siblings?
It was Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. who gave birth to Snoop. He has two half-siblings.
He has an older half-brother on his momâs side named Jerry Wesley Carter.
He is said to work for United Steel Workers.
Jerry does show up on Tha Doggfatherâs Instagram page from time to time, but there arenât many pictures of the two of them together.
A second half-brother of Snoop is Bing. He died when he was 44 years old, younger than Snoop, who is 52 years old.
