Snoop Dogg has given fans an update on his mother’s health after asking them to pray for her in May.

The rapper, 49, took to Instagram on Sunday to post a picture of himself gently touching his parent Beverly Tate’s forehead as she lay in a hospital bed while his siblings looked on.

He wrote: ‘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.’

The musician has not spoken about why his mother is in hospital since asking for people’s well wishes earlier this year.

Posting a picture of his mother in a red outfit and hat on Instagram in May, he wrote: ‘I need all my prayer warriors for momma right now please and thank you.’

Sharing a picture of himself with his two brothers, Snoop shared another family picture, writing: ‘The queen wit her 3 boys. We love u mama. (sic)’

Last year Snoop explained how his mother convinced him to apologise to television presenter Gayle King after he criticised her interview with former WNBA player Lisa Leslie following the death of Kobe Bryant.

He said on Red Table Talk: ‘My mother raised me in church and she raised me to respect women.

‘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.’
