Snoop Dogg has paid tribute to his brother Bing, who has sadly died

Bing was 44

Bing was Snoop's half-brother on his mother's side. He worked with the rapper on several occasions, with him even being his roadie before becoming his tour manager.

He didn't just work for Snoop though, because Bing was a star in his own right and created music of his own. In 2016 he merged music labels Dogg Records with Canadian label Urban Heat Legends.

Speaking to Vice in 2016, Bing opened up about his career and "starting from the bottom". He told the outlet: "I started from the bottom, I ain’t just become the tour manager, I was just the road guy. I worked my way to the top.

"Even though I’m [Snoop's] brother he didn’t give me a top-ranked position. You can’t just become a president without knowing anything about being the president. You have to learn."

Elsewhere in the interview, Bing was asked to describe himself, with him responding with: "Most of the time I think I’m easygoing. But when it comes down to it, I mean what I mean.

"I expect that when it comes down to business, I’m serious. Let’s get things knocked out. I don’t care how long it takes, let’s just get it done. When you rush into something that’s when you get it f***ed up. Just take your time."

Following Snoop Dogg's emotional tributes to his late brother, fans have been sending their condolences to the grieving rapper. One person commented on one of Snoop's posts and said: "Condolences to you and your family."

Another added: "Aww man sorry for your loss bro." While a third said: "Blessings bro."
