Snoop And Bing’s Brotherly Bond Remained Close Through The Rapper’s Rise To Fame

Snoop and Worthington shared a close bond, with the Grammy-nominated artist involving him in various aspects of his businesses.

The media mogul hired his brother to work on high-profile projects. Worthington rose through the ranks of the rapper’s entourage to become a tour manager and then the executive producer at the record label that bears his nickname.

Worthington executive-produced the birthday party documentary, “Bigg Snoop Dogg: Raw ‘N Uncut Vol. 1,” released as a video in 2003, according to Hollywood database IMDb.

In 2016, Worthington sat down with VICE and explained his process of working with his brother. “I started from the bottom, I ain’t just become the tour manager. I was just the road guy.”

He went on to say, “I worked my way to the top. Even though I’m his brother, he didn’t give me a top-ranked position.”

“You can’t just become a president without knowing anything about being the president,” he continued. “You have to learn.”

We send our sincerest condolences to Snoop and his family in this time of grieving.
