Snoop Dogg, 52, shared two posts on his Instagram profile on Friday, announcing the death of his younger half-brother Bing, 44.
In the first clip, which was a throwback, the musician stood in a cemetery where he spoke with his sibling and their other brother Jerry.
The group laughed and joked around, with the Long Beach native showing off his style in a gray tracksuit.
Snoop paired the casual look with a black bucket hat and long braids.
Bing looked a bit more formal in a red blazer jacket and black shirt underneath.
The media star captioned his post, “@badabing33 always made us laugh u bac with moms,” with a blue heart, prayer, and crying emoji.
A second post on Snoop’s profile included a photo of him posing in a green room with Bing.
The rapper added a dove and prayer emoji to the caption.
Bing’s cause of death is currently unknown.
FAN SUPPORT
Fans flooded the comments section with messages of love and prayer for Snoop as he grieves his sibling.
“Love you @snoopdogg @cbroadus rest well Bing!!! You and mom look out for us in heaven,” one wrote.
“Man Dogg that was my guy mane,” a second gushed.
“What the??? Awww man…so sorry for your loss,” a third contributed.
“I’m sorry for your loss. Bless him!!” a fourth shared.
“Condolences on your brotha,” a fifth remarked.
“Stay strong bro! Condolences,” a final penned.
SNOOP’S BROTHER
Bing was Snoop Dogg’s half-brother on his mother’s side.
He worked with the rapper for years.
Bing kicked off his career as a roadie at the Drop It Like It’s Hot rapper’s shows before taking over as his tour manager.
He also released music with his group called Lifestyle, including a couple of albums and a lead single that appeared on the Van Wilder 2 soundtrack.
But Snoop’s brother once confessed he preferred to be behind the scenes more than on stage, leading him to give up his rapping aspirations.
A few years back, the manager decided to launch his own music studio and production company.
He moved to Canada and created a merger between his Dogg Records and another hip-hop label called Urban Heat Legends.
CORI’S CRISIS
Bing’s death came just weeks after Snoop Dogg’s 24-year-old daughter Cori Broadus suffered a 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.”
The rapper was asked by People about her condition as he walked the red carpet at the premiere of his new movie, Underdoggs.
The West Coast rapper was then questioned if his daughter’s health scare put life into perspective for him.
The Starsky & Hutch actor stayed coy as he responded, “Yeah, yeah. Something like that.”
