Suge Knight Questions Snoop Dogg Owning Death Row Records: ‘Show Me The Paperwork; Show Me What You Own’

The feud between former Death Row Records owner Suge Knight and the label’s biggest act and current owner, Snoop Dogg, is increasing with Suge questioning the legitimacy of Snoop’s ownership of the label.
During a recent interview with “The Art of Dialogue,” the incarcerated former executive questioned the “Gin & Juice” rapper on how he paid for the recording label. The two have had a very contentious relationship dating back to when Snoop recorded on Death Row Records back in the 1990s. Snoop started his recording career signed to the label when he released his Dr. Dre-produced debut album, “Doggystyle,” in 1993. Barely lasting five years, the California rapper left to join Master P’s No Limit Records in 1998.
Suge is currently in prison, serving a 28-year sentence for his involvement in a fatal hit-and-run in 2015. From his prison cell, he said, “Snoop, you said I’m mad because you bought Death Row,” Knight said. “What you buy? Show me where y’all paid the money to buy it. Show me the paperwork; show me what you own.”
Suge previously accused Snoop of fraudently acquiring Death Row Records when he purchased it in 2022.
The imprisoned felon also contends that Snoop is trying to replicate the success of the label but so far has fallen flat with releases by Tha Dogg Pound and even Dre and Snoop’s most recent album, which was considered a flop by Snoop and Dre standards.
“You trying to create something that Suge Knight created, but instead of making something big, you disappointed the world by making everything flop. When I put out Tha Dogg Pound, they sold records. You put out Tha Dogg Pound, they sold nothing—it flopped. You and Dre got together, Andre says it’s the best album he ever did in his whole life… we couldn’t tell because it came and went so fast.
In February 2022, Global investment firm Blackstone announced that the rapper acquired the Death Row Records brand and name from MNRK Music Group. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
