Suge Knight Claims Dr Dre And Tupac 'Hated Each Other'

Former record executive Suge Knight has made the bombshell claim that Dr Dre wasn't responsible for producing Snoop Dogg’s album Doggystyle or 2Pac's California Love.

Speaking to TMZ from prison, where he's currently serving a 28-year prison sentence for the 2015 murder of Terry Carter, Knight alleged that it was actually Dogg Pound rapper, producer and Snoop's cousin Daz Dillinger who was the mastermind behind Death Row Records’ most popular records. 

“What’s so great about Daz is, this guy, I went to and said, ‘We gotta finish the album,’” Suge told TMZ from a Californian stat penitentiary. 

“He did the whole — he did everything on Doggystyle. By himself. The whole album was done. He did everything. He produced it.” 

“So when it was time to come out, the streets said, well, they want Andre [Dr. Dre] to be on it,” Suge added. “And Andre said, ‘I want to be on there.’ So Andre went to Daz and said, ‘Look man, let me say it was produced by me, and put my name on it. You’ll get paid, but let me be the one who produced it."

“So I told Daz, ‘That’s something he wanted to do. I don’t recommend it, because you’re the one who produced it, and you’re giving up your publishing.’ So, Daz signed paperwork, and said it was produced by Dre.”

Suge then went on to say that Dre and Tupac never worked together in the studio, claiming they didn't get along.

He even went as far to say that Dre did not produce California Love featured on 1995's All Eyez On Me.

“‘Pac and Dre was never in the studio together,” he said. “They wasn’t in the studio doing ‘California Love.’ They hated each other. That simple.”

It comes following claims from Dillinger that he "strong-armed" Knight into paying him money owed to him after he produced Just Doggin' by Tha Dogg Pound from the Sunset Park soundtrack in 1996

He claimed that he threatened the Death Row Records CEO with “one of those big, long Diesel screwdrivers.” 

“We went up there to get that money and they was playing with the money. … Suge walked into the office and the way his eyes were looking, he was gon’ do something to me,” Dillinger told Home Grown Radio podcast. 

“So he put his arm around me and I put my arms around him, like this [and said] ‘I’m gonna stick you.’ He’s like, ‘Hold on, Daz. Let’s go in the office.’ And I walked out of there with 2.5 [million].”
