In a series of social media tweets, the rap legend had previously discussed his mother’s deteriorating health. He did, however, post a photo of the deceased holding a bunch of flowers on Sunday, along with several poignant tribute posts. According to TMZ, Tate’s family acknowledged his death on Sunday and requested prayers. While his mother was in the hospital, Snoop had begged his followers to send him “positive vibes.” He then told his supporters that she was “still fighting” and that she had opened her eyes. Snoop’s father, Vernell Varnado, had two more boys with Tate.
