Suge Knight is no stranger to controversy, and this time, the former Death Row Records CEO has stirred the pot in an explosive new interview.
In a conversation with Chris Cuomo, Suge made a series of shocking claims, taking aim at some of the biggest names in the rap industry, including Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, and, most notably, Snoop Dogg.
Suge didn’t hold back in accusing Snoop of setting him up and abandoning Death Row Records.
Even more jaw-dropping are Suge’s allegations against Diddy, claiming that many in the industry, including Snoop, have stayed silent about Diddy’s criminal activities.
Let’s dive into what Suge said, the context behind these statements, and why this interview has reignited discussions about the dark side of hip-hop history.
In his interview with Chris Cuomo, Suge Knight claimed that many major players in the rap industry knew about Diddy’s alleged involvement in illegal activities for years.
He even suggested that they turned a blind eye or, worse, enabled Diddy’s behavior. But Suge’s most explosive claim was aimed directly at Snoop Dogg, accusing the West Coast rapper of setting him up and abandoning Death Row Records when the chips were down.
Suge’s words were blunt: “Snoop knows what he did. He knows how he turned his back on Death Row and played a part in what happened.
He needs to run because the truth is coming out.” According to Suge, Snoop wasn’t just a bystander in the drama involving Diddy; he claims Snoop played a direct role in his downfall.
Suge’s accusations against Snoop have sent shockwaves through the hip-hop community. Snoop, one of the most respected and beloved figures in the industry, has maintained a relatively clean public image, distancing himself from the drama that once surrounded Death Row Records.
But according to Suge, Snoop has secrets, and now might be the time for him to come clean.
To understand the gravity of Suge’s accusations, it’s important to revisit the history between Suge Knight, Snoop Dogg, and Death Row Records.
Back in the 1990s, Death Row was the hottest label in hip-hop, responsible for launching the careers of legends like Dr. Dre, Tupac Shakur, and, of course, Snoop Dogg.
At the height of its success, Death Row was the epicenter of West Coast rap.
However, the label’s success came with a dark side. Suge Knight became infamous for his aggressive business tactics and his alleged involvement in violent incidents.
The fall of Death Row Records began when internal tensions, legal battles, and the death of Tupac in 1996 created chaos within the label.
Snoop Dogg was one of the first artists to publicly distance himself from Suge and Death Row.
After releasing his second album, Tha Doggfather, Snoop left the label in 1998 and signed with Master P’s No Limit Records.
Many believed Snoop left simply to escape the turbulent environment at Death Row, but Suge’s latest claims suggest there was much more going on behind the scenes.
