Snoop Dogg Mourns the Passing of His Mother Beverly

Snoop Dogg is honoring his mother Beverly Tate after her unfortunate passing at age 70.

On Sunday, the rapper’s father Vernell Varnado confirmed the tragic news by posting a throwback photo of Tate.

“Snoops mom has passed today can all my fans pray for our family we need it more than ever Thanxs,” Varnado wrote in the caption.

Her cause of death was not provided.

Shortly after, Snoop posted a series of photos of him and his mother, writing on one of the pics, “Thank u god for giving me an angel for a mother.”

In response, several of Snoop’s friends and colleagues wrote messages of support in the comments section.

“I’m so sorry Uso. All our Johnson love and mana sent you and your family’s way,” wrote Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

“Poor mother! I am so sorry that you have suffered such a grievous loss snoop. May she Rest In Peace,” said Snoop’s “Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party” co-star Martha Stewart.

Our very own Loni Love posted the news on her Instagram, writing, “Prayers for Snoop and the whole family on the passing of his beautiful Mother, author and evangelist, Beverly Tate.”

On Monday, Snoop posted a clip from a performance at Madison Square Garden in New York City where he played Bill Withers’ “Stand by Me” in dedication to Beverly.

Back in May, the MC asked his fans to pray for his mom but did not disclose information about her health.

Months later, Snoop posted a photo from the hospital and revealed that his mother “opened up her eyes to” see him and his brothers “and let us know she [is] still fighting.”
