  • Daz Dillinger Sues for 2Pac Royalties

    It looks like there’s a legal battle brewing in the hip-hop world. Producer and rapper Daz Dillinger, born Delmar Drew Arnaud, is taking Amaru Entertainment to court. He alleges that the company hasn’t paid him the full royalties he’s owed for his significant contributions to some of 2Pac’s most iconic tracks.

    Allegations of Unpaid Royalties

    Dillinger’s lawsuit claims that Amaru Entertainment has financially benefited from his creative work, including writing, producing, and performing on 2Pac’s music, without providing him with complete royalty accounting. This includes crucial records that would detail his earnings.

    His contributions are undeniable, especially on 2Pac’s groundbreaking album *All Eyez on Me*. Tracks like “2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted” and “I Ain’t Mad at Cha” wouldn’t be the same without his input. Dillinger believes Amaru holds the agreements and records related to his work, even if some documents might be lost over time.

    A Demand, a Payment, and a Lawsuit

    The situation escalated when Dillinger formally requested his payment and royalty records in October 2024. Following this demand, he reportedly received over $91,000 from Amaru Entertainment. However, the lawsuit points out that this payment came without any accompanying paperwork to explain how the amount was calculated.

    Dillinger’s legal team argues that this payment itself confirms that money was indeed due and that Amaru was responding directly to his demand for accounting. Now, he’s seeking not only additional royalties but also a comprehensive financial breakdown of all his contributions to 2Pac’s legendary music catalog.

  • Snoop Dogg & Daz Dillinger Feud Heats Up!

    Whoa, it looks like the drama within the Death Row Records family has boiled over once again! This time, none other than Snoop Dogg himself is firing back with some seriously strong words for his cousin, Daz Dillinger. It all kicked off after Daz made some pretty heavy accusations against Snoop, claiming financial scheming and creative sabotage.

    Snoop’s Fiery Response

    Visibly annoyed, Snoop Dogg took to video to address the situation head-on. He called out Daz, saying, “I see you ain’t got s–t to do but hate on me, huh?” The rap icon didn’t stop there, delivering a stern warning: “In a minute I’ma f–k you up, cuz. On some real s–t. Not physically, but business wise. Cause you broke as a muthaf–ka right now so I’m a f–k you up in a minute, cuz. Leave me alone. Leave me the fuck alone.”

    This outburst definitely sent ripples through the fanbase of Tha Dogg Pound, many of whom were already reeling from Daz’s initial claims. It’s clear this isn’t just a minor disagreement; it’s a full-blown public spat.

    Daz Dillinger Doubles Down

    But Daz Dillinger isn’t one to back down easily. Instead of letting Snoop’s video slide, he took to Instagram to escalate the situation even further. He posted a message that left no room for interpretation about his feelings.

    In his post, Daz directly addressed Snoop’s threat, writing, “HE MAD NOW. NOW HE WANNA FUC ME UP BIZNIZ WISE BY TRYNA STEAL EVERYTHING I OWN THAT WAS ON DEATHROW. BY FORGED SIGNITURE AND NOT PAYING ROYALTIES SINCE HE HAD THE LABEL USING OUR ROYALTIES TO PAY HIS STAFF. THEY MAKIN MORE THEN THE ARTIST.”

    Accusations of Theft and Royalties

    Daz didn’t hold back, drawing parallels to his past legal battles with Suge Knight. He questioned whether he should pursue similar action against his cousin, emphasizing that the publishing rights are in his name. He stated, “ITS ALL IN MY NAME THE PUBLISHING NUMBERS DONT CHANGE UNLESS LOL U A THIEF.”

    To make his point crystal clear, Daz declared his financial independence, asserting, “U CANT STARVE ME OUT IM INDEPENDENT. I RUN MY OWN SHIP ALWAYS HAVE. U LITTLE BB—H.”

    This public feud between two hip-hop heavyweights is certainly turning heads. It highlights the complex dynamics that can arise within music empires and family ties.

  • Daz Dillinger Accuses Snoop Dogg of Theft!

    It looks like there’s some serious friction brewing within the Tha Dogg Pound camp, and Daz Dillinger isn’t holding back! He’s publicly called out his cousin, Snoop Dogg, accusing him of sidelining him for financial gain and even theft. This is a major development, especially with Snoop now at the helm of Death Row Records.

    Accusations Over ‘W.A.W.G.’ Album

    Daz, a founding member of Tha Dogg Pound and Snoop’s cousin, claims he was deliberately kept out of the production for the group’s 2024 album, “W.A.W.G. (We All We Got).” In a video shared on social media, Daz explained that Snoop allegedly blocked him from contributing beats. Why? Because Snoop had a deal with other producers that reportedly gave him a large cut of their earnings.

    According to Daz, Snoop wanted him to be involved solely as an artist, not a producer. This move, Daz argues, significantly undermined his creative input and his potential to profit from the album’s success. He expressed deep frustration, feeling that the label had financially exploited him.

    The Dogg Pound Logo Dispute

    The conflict didn’t end there. In a separate clip posted to his YouTube channel, Daz leveled another serious accusation: Snoop Dogg allegedly tried to trademark Tha Dogg Pound’s iconic pawprint logo without his consent. Daz emphasized the logo’s importance, comparing it to Apple’s iconic branding.

    “The paw is trademarked,” Daz stated, explaining the necessary approval process. “Like I told Snoop, you gotta reject it and I gotta accept it. That was the money maker. The paw is like the Apple sign.”

    Unfulfilled Publishing Rights

    Adding to the grievances, Daz also revealed that he hasn’t received promised publishing rights since Snoop acquired Death Row Records. He voiced his anger over what he perceives as a deliberate strategy to financially pressure artists.

    Daz made it clear that he refuses to be pushed aside and is determined to retain ownership of the creative work he’s contributed. This public airing of grievances sheds light on the complex business and personal relationships within the music industry.
