One of the founders of gangster rap, SNOOP Dogg has gone on to make music, movies, and star in big Hollywood hits.<\/p>\n

We look at his brother Bing Worthington\u2019s life and legacy here. Bing died at the age of 44 and helped him every step of the way.<\/p>\n

He came into the world on May 4, 1979, in California.<\/p>\n

Bing met Mymy Jordan at Long Beach High School, where they would later get married.<\/p>\n

It was said that they had a son together, but they didn\u2019t want his name or date of birth to be made public, so they aren\u2019t available right now.<\/p>\n

As a young musician, Bing worked as a roadie on Snoop\u2019s shows before becoming the rap superstar\u2019s tour manager.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

He explained, \u201cWhen I released the album, I put all the songs on it together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeeting new people and talking business gets me going.\u201d I felt like a different person after watching that.<\/p>\n

Bing also helped write the song \u201cBe Thankful\u201d for Snoop\u2019s rap group Tha Eastsidaz. He said it was the most important piece of music he had ever made.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

He once said he liked working behind the scenes more than being on stage, and he gave up his dreams of becoming a rapper.<\/p>\n

As of 2016, Bing had moved to Canada and merged his studio and production company, Dogg Records, with Miguel Lopez\u2019s other hip-hop label, Urban Heat Legends.<\/p>\n

What did Snoop Dogg have to do with Bing Worthington?<\/p>\n

Snoop Dogg had a half-brother named Bing through his mother Beverly Tate.<\/p>\n

After the sad death of Bing, Snoop Dogg wrote two posts on Instagram on February 16, 2024, to let people know about his half-brother\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

In the post\u2019s caption, Snoop wrote, \u201c@badabing33 always made us laugh u bac with moms.\u201d He also used a blue heart, a prayer, and a crying face.<\/p>\n

In Snoop\u2019s second post, there was a picture of him posing with Bing in a green room.<\/p>\n

A dove and a prayer emoji were added by the rapper to the caption.<\/p>\n

The cause of Bing\u2019s death is still unknown.<\/p>\n

Who are Snoop Dogg\u2019s siblings?<\/p>\n

It was Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. who gave birth to Snoop. He has two half-siblings.<\/p>\n

He has an older half-brother on his mom\u2019s side named Jerry Wesley Carter.<\/p>\n

He is said to work for United Steel Workers.<\/p>\n

Jerry does show up on Tha Doggfather\u2019s Instagram page from time to time, but there aren\u2019t many pictures of the two of them together.<\/p>\n

A second half-brother of Snoop is Bing. He died when he was 44 years old, younger than Snoop, who is 52 years old.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
