Popular legendary American rapper, actor, and businessman, Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., fondly called Snoop Dogg has lost his mother to the cold hand of death.
The father of four has been left heartbroken after his mother, Beverly Tate, gave up the ghost over the weekend.
Snoop Dogg described his mother as an “angel” while paying a tribute to her as he shared a photo of himself and Beverly on Instagram and wrote, “Mama thank u for having me [prayer and rose emojis] (sic)”, Yahoo news reports.
The Rapper followed the post with a second, featuring just a photo of his mom and captioned it, “Thank u god for giving me an angel for a mother [heart, prayer, and flower emojis] TWMA.)”
He also posted a video of himself where he sat in a dark room listening to The Voices of East Harlem’s ‘Giving Love’ along with a broken heart emoji.
His friends shared their support in the comments of the posts, with Busta Rhymes and Taraji P. Henson offering a string of heart emojis and Lizzo writing, “Love u big bro”.
