Snoop Dogg, one of the pioneers of gangster rap, has expanded his career into music, movies, and major Hollywood roles. Today, we take a look at the life and legacy of his brother, Bing Worthington, who passed away at the age of 44. Bing was by Snoop’s side every step of the way, playing a crucial role in his success…
Born on May 4, 1979, in California, Bing met his future wife, Mymy Jordan, at Long Beach High School, where they eventually married. The couple reportedly had a son together, though they chose to keep his name and date of birth private. In his early years, Bing began his career as a roadie for Snoop’s concerts, eventually working his way up to become the rap icon’s tour manager.
Bing Worthington Jr., Snoop Dogg’s younger brother, passed away at 44, marking a profound loss for the rapper and his family. Known for his behind-the-scenes work in the music industry, Bing was instrumental in several of Snoop’s ventures, building a close professional and personal relationship with his superstar brother.
Starting as a roadie, Bing eventually took on the role of Snoop’s tour manager, a position he earned through hard work and dedication. Reflecting on his journey, Bing once explained that he “worked his way to the top” despite being Snoop’s brother, emphasizing that he gained respect in the role through his hands-on experience
Bing also co-founded Dogg Records, a Canadian record label, and briefly performed as a musician with the group Lifestyle, whose album Liquid Cocaine was released in 2003. Despite his musical pursuits, Bing ultimately found greater satisfaction on the business side of the industry, managing Snoop’s projects and helping launch product lines, including Snoop’s hot dog brand and skateboard company
Snoop shared several emotional tributes to Bing on social media, including photos and videos celebrating their bond. One of Snoop’s posts shows a moment with Bing humorously lightening the mood at a cemetery, which Snoop captioned with “always made us laugh.” Another tribute post honored Bing alongside their late mother, Beverly Tate, whom Bing and Snoop both held dear. The rapper’s messages reflected his deep connection with Bing and the shared family legacy.
