Suge Knight hit back at Snoop Dogg after the rapper claimed Knight is “mad” that Snoop now owns Death Row Records.
Knight called into The Art of Dialogue to challenge this assertion, questioning if Snoop actually owns the label.
“Snoop, you said I’m mad because you bought Death Row. What you buy? Shut me up. Show me where y’all paid the money to buy it,” Suge said. “Show me the paperwork—show me what you own.”
Knight then boasted about his Death Row achievements, highlighting Tha Dogg Pound’s #1 debut Dogg Food (1995). He compared it to their latest Death Row release, 2024’s W.A.W.G (We All We Got), which he called a flop.
“You trying to create something that Suge Knight created but instead of making something big you disappointed the world by making everything flops. When I put out Tha Dogg Pound, they sold records. You put out Tha Dogg Pound, they sold nothing—it flopped.”
Knight accused Snoop of ruining hip-hop and Death Row’s reputation.
“You don’t got to talk tough. We don’t got to talk about each other—that gets [us] nowhere,” Knight explained. “One person or three or four people is not bigger than hip-hop. We should be trying to figure out how to make hip-hop better. Everybody destroying hip-hop; you guys are making it worse.”
He added, “If you have Death Row, you destroyed it. You messed up the name.”
The beef escalated last month when Knight told The Art of Dialogue that Snoop was trying to bail out 2Pac’s alleged killer, Keefe D, and linked Snoop to Diddy’s sex trafficking allegations.
This prompted Snoop’s Instagram comment: “This n***a [won’t] stop talking about me mad cuz I own Death Row I realize your real lies.”
Snoop acquired Death Row in 2022, nearly 30 years after joining the label and releasing his 1993 debut Doggystyle.
