It’s with great sadness that we report that rapper Snoop Dogg’s mother, Beverly Tate, passed away on Sunday.

The grieving rapper took to Instagram to announce the news. 

“Mama, thank u for having me,” he wrote in one post with the praying hands emoji.

​​

The “Drop It Like It’s Hot” rapper then posted another tribute to his beloved mother. 

Snoop added another photo of Tate dressed to the nines in a stunning red outfit and hat with the caption, “Thank u, God, for giving me an angel 🕊 for a mother 💖🙏🏽🌹💝 TWMA.”

 

In July, “Gin and Juice” emcee posted a photo of his mom in the hospital, and he asked fans to pray for her. 

“Happy Sunday! Me and my brothers went to c mama today, and she opened up her eyes to c us and let us know she still fighting. God is good thanks for all the prayers 1 day at a time.”

Tate had been fighting an undisclosed illness since May. 

 

Tate’s cause of death hasn’t been disclosed.

Our prayers go out to Snoop and his family.
