B-Real Sides With Daz Dillinger in Explosive Death Row Civil War: “Snoop Is Moving Like Suge Knight 2.0”

LOS ANGELES — The West Coast rap empire that once ruled the world is officially imploding. In a stunning 40-minute Instagram Live session Wednesday night, Cypress Hill legend B-Real publicly declared war on the narrative Snoop Dogg has been pushing for years, throwing his full support behind Daz Dillinger and accusing the Long Beach icon of “stealing the legacy he didn’t build alone.”

“Daz is 100% right,” B-Real said, voice calm but lethal. “I’ve seen the paperwork. I’ve heard the stories from the camp. Snoop is moving like Suge Knight 2.0 — trademarking people’s names, forging signatures, selling the catalog without cutting in the architects. That ain’t gangster, that’s corporate robbery in a blue bandana.”

The fuse was lit last week when Daz Dillinger posted a series of now-viral videos claiming Snoop secretly sold Death Row’s master recordings and trademarks to Universal Music Group (via the 2022 acquisition of the label through Gamma and Blackstone) without paying a single royalty to Kurupt, Lady of Rage, RBX, The Lady of Rage, or himself — despite their faces and voices being the backbone of classics like Doggystyle, The Chronic, and Dogg Food.

Daz went nuclear with receipts: alleged forged signature pages from 2022 trademark filings that transferred “Tha Dogg Pound” and individual artist names into entities solely controlled by Snoop, plus bank records showing zero payments to the original members since the $385 million catalog sale closed.

“Blood don’t mean sh*t when money involved,” Daz raged. “This my cousin telling me one thing to my face and doing the opposite behind closed doors. I built Death Row with my bare hands — where my check?”

Enter B-Real.

The Cypress Hill frontman, who has remained neutral in nearly every West Coast beef since the mid-’90s, says he stayed silent too long. Sources tell us Dr. Dre personally called B-Real two weeks ago and played him audio allegedly recorded in 2023 of Snoop telling executives, “Fck Daz, he ain’t getting sht — I’m the brand now.”

That was the breaking point.

“Snoop out here doing TED Talks about peace and unity, but behind the scenes he’s cutting throats like it’s 1995,” B-Real continued on Live. “Daz laid down half the beats on Doggystyle, engineered The Chronic, mixed damn near everything that came out of Death Row in the golden era. And now his own cousin trademarked ‘Daz Dillinger’ so he can’t even sell a t-shirt without permission? That’s disgusting.”

The most explosive claim: Daz says he has forensic proof that his signature was lifted from a 1996 contract and photoshopped onto 2022 trademark assignments — a federal crime if proven. Legal letters obtained by this publication show Daz’s attorney has already filed intent-to-sue notices against Snoop’s Death Row Holdings LLC, Gamma, and Universal Music Enterprises for fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and unjust enrichment, seeking nine-figure damages.

Snoop has remained eerily quiet on social media since the accusations dropped, posting only a cryptic Instagram story of himself smoking a blunt with the caption “Elevate above the noise” but insiders say he’s “furious” and preparing a response track titled “Receipts & Repercussions.”

Meanwhile, the ripple effect is seismic:

Kurupt has unfollowed Snoop on all platforms and posted a throwback photo of himself and Daz with the caption “Real recognize real.”
The Lady of Rage liked every single one of Daz’s posts.
Warren G, Snoop’s own blood cousin, posted a broken-heart emoji then quickly deleted it.
Even Dr. Dre’s camp issued a rare statement through Interscope: “We are aware of the situation and are monitoring it closely.”

Perhaps the most telling reaction came from 50 Cent, who jumped on Instagram with popcorn in hand: “Snoop done turned into the new Suge! Catalog wars part 2 😂😂 Get the strap, Daz!”

As of Thursday morning, #JusticeForDaz was trending worldwide, and old Death Row masters mysteriously began disappearing from Spotify and Apple Music — fueling speculation that Universal is quietly pulling catalog to avoid liability.

B-Real ended his livestream with a warning that shook the culture to its core:

“This ain’t just about money. This is about respect. If Snoop can do this to his own family, imagine what he’ll do to the rest of us when the next billion-dollar deal comes. Pac died fighting for ownership. Daz is still alive and he’s not letting them bury him too.”

Whether this ends in courtrooms or cyphers remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the house that Dre, Suge, Snoop, and Daz built together is burning, and nobody — not even the Doggfather himself — may walk out unscathed.
