Snoop Dogg paid tribute to his beloved half-brother, Bing Worthington, on Tuesday in an Instagram post with a picture from the 44-year-old's funeral. “Everlastin loves the Beverly boys. Dirty left Bing and snoopy [fire, flower, dove emoji],” Snoop wrote alongside a picture of himself at the funeral wearing an all-red suit and matching Kangol hat as he and other mourners looked solemnly into Worthington's casket.
“@badabing33 miss that laugh and the way you made us smile,” Snoop added. “Keep Mom company until we get there [dove, peace sign emoji].” Snoop announced that Worthington – the rapper's half-brother on their late mother Beverly's side – had died last Friday. The Orange County Sheriff's Department said Worthington died Feb. 15 of undetermined causes, according to NBC News.

Xzibit, DJ Quik, Tony Yayo and Three 6 Mafia and former NFL player and TV host Michael Strahan.
