In a heartbreaking update, Snoop Dogg recently shared the devastating news of his younger brother, Bing Worthington's passing at the age of 44. Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., took to Instagram to pay tribute to his late brother, who had been involved in various behind-the-scenes business roles supporting the rap superstar over the years.
Worthington was a key collaborator with Snoop, working on business projects and serving as his tour manager. He co-founded Dogg Records and also had a brief stint in music with the hip-hop group Lifestyle. His work included co-writing the song 'Be Thankful' on The Eastsidaz's debut album in 2000.
A man of many talents, Worthington started as a roadie for Snoop before venturing into different business ventures, such as Snoop Dogg Skateboards. In a 2016 interview with Vice, Worthington expressed his passion for the business side of music and his love for networking and managing various projects.
The news of Worthington's tragic passing comes on the heels of another family crisis, as Snoop's daughter Cori Broadus, 24, recently suffered a severe stroke in mid-January. Despite this challenging time, Snoop remains optimistic, sharing that Cori is showing signs of improvement.
The loss of Bing Worthington is a reminder of life's fragility and the importance of family during trying times. Snoop's heartfelt tributes and the legacy of his brother's work serve as a testament to their strong bond and shared dedication to their craft.
