Snoop Dogg has finally spoken out about his increasingly public feud with his cousin and longtime collaborator Daz Dillinger, making it clear he is unfazed by the allegations against him.
During a recent podcast appearance, Culture Campus The owner of Death Row Records has commented on Daz's ongoing claims regarding royalties, ownership, and business dealings related to the iconic West Coast label.
«"I'm in pre-production right now for my biopic. I'm busy with other things," Snoop Dogg said during a phone call. "I can't give it the attention it deserves.".
The rap legend said he spent years creating opportunities for those around him and suggested the financial issues being raised now come down to personal responsibility.

«"I did what I did. I helped guys. I gave them opportunities," Snoop Dogg said. "If you weren't doing your thing, you weren't doing it.".
Snoop also denied any allegations of concealment or withholding of money, saying that anyone with concerns should contact the appropriate authorities.
«"If I'm wrong, sue me," he said. "My affairs are settled. That's why I have so many businesses, because I handle my own affairs.".
He added, "It's crazy to watch niggas talk about me every day, go on these podcasts, and make up stories. When are you going to talk to Snoop? Open up your books. Let me audit it. What am I saying? Check the books. I ain't got nothing to hide.".
Days also took a more pointed stance, ramping up his criticism of Snoop on Instagram, where he posted legal documents and accused various individuals connected to the Death Row story of using forged signatures and unauthorized agreements.
In his lengthy post, Daz claimed that he had recently come across documents that raise serious questions about who was authorized to act on his behalf in past business dealings. He also claimed that Snoop Dogg is maintaining agreements that he believes improperly affect his ownership rights and royalties related to Death Row.
«"This is exactly what I'm fighting for," Daz wrote. "This is just one piece of evidence.".
The latest conflict is just the latest chapter in one of hip-hop's most unexpected family feuds. Over the past few months, Daze has repeatedly accused Snoop of withholding royalties, attempting to appropriate intellectual property rights related to Death Row, and sidelining him from key business decisions. At one point, Daze hinted at the possibility of legal action, comparing the situation to the lawsuits he previously filed against former Death Row management.
Snoop previously responded by warning Daz to stop mentioning his name, saying he would settle the situation "business-wise" rather than physically.
Their disagreements reportedly extend beyond royalties. Daze also claimed he was forced out of Death Row after refusing to sell his catalog, and he publicly stated that certain rights related to his work remain under his control.
The seasoned producer has also spoken out about royalty disputes outside of Death Row. In recent years, Daze has publicly questioned payments related to several landmark projects he was involved with, including work on Tupac Shakur and other classic West Coast releases.
Earlier this year, he filed a lawsuit against Amaru Entertainment, accusing it of failing to pay royalties and demanding a full accounting of the income earned from music he helped write and produce for Tupac.
