Snoop Dogg announces younger brother Bing Worthington’s death with heartbreaking tributes

Snoop Dogg’s younger brother has passed away.

Bing Worthington died at the age of 44, the “Gin and Juice” rapper revealed Friday via several Instagram tributes.

The first image Snoop — born Calvin Broadus Jr. — shared showed him smiling with Bing and their nephew, Rollin Carter. “😢😔🕊️🙏🏾,” he simply captioned the post.

A second post included a video of Snoop and Worthington spending time with their family, including their older brother Jerry Wesley Carter, in a cemetery. “@badabing33 always made us laugh 💙🙏🏾😢 u bac with moms,” he penned.

Their mom, Beverly Tate, died in October 2021 at the age of 70. Worthington could be seen presenting her with a birthday cake in one of the photos he shared.

The musician, 52, also shared a family photo in which everyone was smiling and laughing; another picture showed the pair posing as Worthington threw up a peace sign.

“Until we meet again ☹️😔😢🙏🏾🕊️,” he captioned the final tribute.

Worthingon’s cause of death remains unknown. Sgt. Frank Gonzalez of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department in California confirmed to NBC News there will be a toxicology and autopsy report.

The sheriff’s department did not immediately reply to Page Six’s request for comment, nor did the star’s representative.

Worthington and Snoop were extremely close and the Grammy-nominated artist even included him in several aspects of his businesses.

“I started from the bottom, I ain’t just become the tour manager, I was just the road guy,” Worthington told Vice in 2016.



“I worked my way to the top. Even though I’m his brother he didn’t give me a top-ranked position.”

“You can’t just become a president without knowing anything about being the president,” he continued. “You have to learn.”

In addition to helping bring entrepreneurial ideas to life with Snoop, such as his skateboard brand that was launched in 2005, Worthington was also involved in his art.

He is listed as an executive producer on the 2003 documentary, “Bigg Snoop Dogg: Raw ‘N Uncut Vol. 1,” according to IMDb.

Furthermore, he helped merge Dogg Records with Canadian hip-hop label Urban Heat Legends, according to Dogg Records’ website.

He even released an album at one point named “Liquid Cocaine” with his musical group, Lifestyle.

“When I put the album out, I was putting everything in the music together,” he told Vice.

“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.”
