Suge Knight has reignited his feud with Snoop Dogg, accusing him of ruining the legacy of Death Row Records.
Suge Knight, the once powerful co-founder of Death Row Records, is pointing fingers at Snoop Dogg for the label’s downfall. He claims Snoop has turned Death Row into a disappointment rather than building on its legacy.
In a recent interview, Suge criticized Snoop’s management of the label, questioning his ownership and challenging him to show proof of purchase. “Snoop, you said I’m mad because you bought Death Row? What’d you buy? Show me the paperwork,” Suge demanded.
Suge also attacked Snoop’s previous attempts in the music industry, citing failures with his Doggystyle label and his tenure at Def Jam. “Now you wanna start something that has nothing to do with you,” Suge continued, accusing Snoop of tarnishing Hip Hop’s reputation.
The feud intensified with accusations of past fraudulent activities. Suge alleged that Snoop acquired Death Row through bankruptcy fraud, orchestrated with his partner Michael “Harry-O” Harris, who allegedly committed illegal acts to seize the company.
Suge referenced a default judgment from 2013, which transferred ownership to MNRK Music Group after a no-show from a lawyer in court. He argues this process was fraught with illegality, claiming it violated bankruptcy laws and his rightful ownership.
Further fueling the fire, Suge accused them of robbing the label from Black ownership and misrepresenting the truth about previous settlements. “You can’t take the person who committed the worst crime of the century… and think he gonna grab Snoop and they gonna get it back,” he argued.
Snoop had his own response on Instagram, dismissing Suge’s claims and mocking his persistence in dragging his name through the mud. “This n-gga [won’t] stop talking about me” Snoop quipped, defending his stewardship of the iconic label.
With both parties entrenched in their positions, the battle over Death Row’s legacy shows no signs of abating.
