Snoop Dogg and Suge Knight have been sued for allegedly defrauding former Death Row Records executive Lydia Harris out of $100 million.
Harris, who is the ex-wife of Death Row co-founder Michael “Harry-O” Harris, has accused Snoop and Suge, as well as Interscope Records, Time Warner and Universal Music Group, of failing to pay her a $107 million judgement relating to a 2005 court order, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Harris claims she invested $1.5 million to help set up Death Row in 1989, but was not recompensated when the label started making money.
She alleges all of the parties named in the lawsuit conspired to keep her from her rightful earnings.
Harris is seeking punitive damages, the recovery of assets owed to her and a full accounting of the record label’s finances.
The former executive originally sued Knight and Death Row in 2002 and won a $107 million judgement, though she has yet to receive the money as the label has changed hands multiple times and is currently owned by Snoop Dogg.
Suge and Snoop have yet to respond to the lawsuit.
The legal action comes shortly after Knight attacked Tha Doggfather for his ownership of the storied label.
In an interview with The Art of Dialogue, the incarcerated mogul said: “Snoop, you said I’m mad because you bought Death Row? What’d you buy? Show me the paperwork. Show me what you own.”
He then detailed how Snoop’s Doggystyle label didn’t take off before adding: “And you was running Def Jam. Did you do anything good for Def Jam? Absolutely not. Now you wanna start something that has nothing to do with you.
“You going backwards. You tryna create something that Suge Knight created. But instead of going big, you disappointing the world by making everything flops.”
He continued: “We should be trying to figure out how to make Hip Hop better. Everybody destroying Hip Hop — you guys are making it worse. If you have Death Row, you destroyed it. You messed up the name.”
Snoop Dogg bought Death Row Records in 2022 from MNRK Music Group and has since revived the label, signing artists such as October London and D Smoke as well as Death Row legends Tha Dogg Pound.
