Suge Knight has hit back at Snoop Dogg amid their latest back and forth, blaming his former artist for what he says is the destruction of Death Row Records’ legacy.
Last month, the Death Row co-founder alleged in an interview that Snoop was involved in trying to secure accused 2Pac killer Keefe D’s release from jail. He also linked his former artist to the sex trafficking claims against Diddy and accused him of lying about visiting 2Pac in the hospital shortly before his death.
Snoop then hit back in an Instagram comment, saying “This n-gga [won’t] stop talking about me mad cuz I own Death Row, I realize your real lies.”
Now in a new conversation with The Art of Dialogue published on Sunday (March 9), Suge is firing back once again.
He then went into detail about how Snoop’s Doggystyle label didn’t take off, then added: “And you was running Def Jam. Did you do anything good for Def Jam? Absolutely not. Now you wanna start something that has nothing to do with you. You going backwards. You tryna create something that Suge Knight created. But instead of going big, you disappointing the world by making everything flops.”
Suge Knight has previously taken issue with Snoop Dogg’s ownership of Death Row Records, accusing him of fraudulently purchasing the legendary rap label.
Speaking to TMZ from prison after the deal was announced in 2022, Suge claimed that his ex-business partner Michael “Harry-O” Harris committed bankruptcy fraud to get the company from him.
Suge said the bankruptcy proceeding was a violation of the law, and that Death Row will never truly be the same without him in charge.
“I settled the judgement. They turned around and said I didn’t settle the judgement. But they committed bankruptcy fraud which we just found out for sure last week. When they filed for bankruptcy in ’95, they said it didn’t have anything to do with Death Row.”
