Snoop Dogg’s Brother Bing Worthington Dies Unexpectedly at 44
Music executive Bing Worthington, the brother of rapper Snoop Dogg, has died unexpectedly at the age of 44.
In a somber announcement, Snoop Dogg shared a heartfelt tribute to his late brother, celebrating Worthington’s life and contributions to music and their family.
The news broke on social media last Friday, with Snoop Dogg posting a video and photos that paid homage to Bing’s life and their close-knit family dynamic.
The Instagram post quickly became a gathering space for fans and friends to share their condolences and support for the grieving family.
The tribute included a poignant video showing Snoop Dogg alongside Bing and their other brother, Jerry, in a cemetery, reflecting on memories and the bonds that tie them together.
The exact date of the video remains unknown, adding a timeless quality to the homage.
Snoop Dogg’s caption on the post, “@badabing33 always made us laugh u bac with moms,” underscores the depth of their bond and Bing’s vibrant spirit.
It was a message that resonated deeply with their fans, highlighting Bing’s unique sense of humor and the love within their family.
Bing Worthington was more than just Snoop Dogg’s brother; he was a key figure in the music industry, working closely with Snoop as a roadie before becoming his tour manager, according to the
Daily Caller.
His passion for music also led him to form his own band, Lifestyle, and contribute a song to the “Van Wilder 2” soundtrack.
Despite his talent on stage, Bing was drawn to the business side of music.
He eventually stepped away from performing to focus on behind-the-scenes work, moving to Canada to open a music studio and production company.
This move was a pivotal moment in his career, merging his organization, Dogg Records, with the Canadian hip-hop label Urban Heat Legends.
The cause of Worthington’s death was not disclosed.
The announcement of his death prompted an outpouring of support from the music community, fans, and friends alike, all sharing their grief and memories of Bing’s impact.
As the news spread, the focus remained on Bing’s life and the legacy he leaves behind.
His work behind the scenes, his brief foray into music, and his role within one of hip-hop’s most influential families have cemented his place in the industry’s history.
Details of Bing Worthington’s funeral arrangements were not immediately available, leaving many to mourn in their own way and reflect on the memories shared.
The impact of his death on Snoop Dogg and the broader music community is a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the bonds that music can forge.
In remembering Bing, the emphasis has been on his sense of humor, his dedication to family, and his contributions to music.
It’s a narrative that has touched many, from close family members to fans around the world.
Bing’s death comes just weeks after Snoop Dogg’s 24-year-old daughter Cori Broadus
suffered a “severe stroke.”
The influencer revealed the health scare by sharing a picture on social media from her hospital bed.
“I had a severe stroke this am,” Broadus captioned in her Instagram Stories, adding two pleading face emojis.
“I started breaking down crying when they told me.”
The young woman, who was in disbelief, added, “Like I’m only 24 what did I do in my past to deserve all of this.”
Shortly after, Cori again took to Instagram to update her concerned followers on her recovery post-stroke.
The Choc Factory by CHO CEO posted several selfies to the platform with a caption, reading, “God is working overtime you hear me!
“‘My kidneys were doing terrible…doctors came in this AM and said they are improving so much.'”
Toward the end of January, Snoop updated fans on Cori’s progress, revealing she was “doing a little bit better.”
