Snoop Dogg's Mom Beverly Tate 'Still Fighting' Following Hospitalization — Rapper Thanks Fans For Their Prayers
Snoop Dogg is giving his fans a health update on his mom, Beverly Tate, following her hospitalization.
Alongside a photo of Snoop and his two brothers standing beside their mom's bed, the rapper, 45, thanked his fans for their prayers and well-wishes as Tate continues to fight.
"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," Snoop (born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr.) captioned the photo of himself standing over Tate with his hand gently placed on her forehead. "God is good💕🙏🏾 thanks for all the prayers 1 day at a time."
Fans and fellow celebrities were quick to offer kind words to the family during this time, with Jamie Foxx commenting: "🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾."
"❤️❤️❤️❤️ pull through momma snoop we love you!!!" Bow Wow wrote, adding: "You all in my prayers unc. I love you man. ❤️❤️❤️," as La La Anthony chimed in, writing: "🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️." Queen Latifah also sent her love, commenting: "🙏🏽❤️💪🏽. Faith."
While the "Young, Wild & Free" rapper did not reveal further details about Tate's health battle, he first asked fans to pray for his mama back in May. "🙏🏾🙏🏾💕💕💕😢 I need all my prayer warriors for momma right now please and thank you 🙏🏾🌹💝," Snoop captioned the close-up photo, posted May 7, of his mom beaming while wearing an all-red ensemble.
That same day, Snoop shared a throwback photo of Tate with her children, writing: "The queen wit her 3 boys. We love u mama 💝💘🙏🏾🙏🏾🌹."
Snoop and his mom appear to be very close, with him admitting last February that it was Tate who made him apologize to Gayle King after he criticized the TV personality's interview with WNBA pro Lisa Leslie following the shocking death of Kobe Bryant.
The Olympic commentator previously went on a vicious rant targeted at King after she asked Leslie about the 2003 rape allegation against the late iconic athlete. Snoop later acknowledged that his mom raised him better than that, noting he stepped out of line when he lashed out at King.
"My mother raised me in church and she raised me to respect women," Snoop said after he came under fire for the severity of his language. "It was certain things she said to me that took me back to being a little kid. And when your mama can make you feel like a kid, that's when you gotta get right."
