Snoop Dogg's Younger Brother, Bing Worthington, Has Passed Away At The Age Of 44

Snoop Dogg has honored his late brother, Bing Worthington, through a heartfelt tribute shared on his social media platforms.

Among the touching posts was a photo of Bing alongside their mother, accompanied by the caption "bac wit momma." Snoop also shared other family snapshots, expressing the sentiment "until we meet again" in one of his Instagram posts.

In addition to the photos, Snoop posted a video featuring himself, Bing, and others, highlighting his brother's knack for bringing laughter into their lives.

The Orange County Sheriff's Department in California confirmed Worthington's tragic passing on Thursday, February 15th.

"The cause of death will be pending the results of the toxicology and autopsy report," stated Sgt. Frank Gonzalez to NBC News.

Celebrities, including Tyrese Gibson and Tamar Braxton, expressed condolences to Snoop and his family. Worthington, a music producer, worked on projects for his brother's record label, per NBC.

In a 2016 interview with Vice, Worthington described his rise in the industry. Miguel Lopez, a friend, highlighted Worthington's pivotal role in setting up Dogg Records. Snoop faces additional hardship as his daughter Cori Broadus recently suffered a severe stroke.

Broadus shared two images on her Instagram Story in January. The first showed a hospital bed and sheets, with a caption revealing she had suffered a severe stroke that morning and broke down in tears upon hearing the news.

The second image featured Broadus wearing a hoodie and protective face mask, with text expressing her disbelief and questioning why she deserved such hardships at the age of 24.

Broadus has been battling Lupus since the age of six. According to the Lupus Foundation of America, Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and pain in various parts of the body, as the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue.
