Suge Knight Challenges Master P’s Claims Regarding Snoop Dogg’s Transition to No Limit Records

Suge Knight has recently criticized Master P for his alleged misrepresentation of events concerning his visit to Knight in prison and the acquisition of Snoop Dogg’s rights for No Limit Records.

Ahead of the launch of his podcast, “Collect Call With Suge Knight,” from his prison confinement, Knight dropped a teaser disputing Master P’s narrative. In the preview, Knight disputes the notion that Master P visited him in prison to secure Snoop’s rights for a $2 million deal.

Knight stated in the clip, “[Master P] slipped up and said he came to visit me in prison, gave me a couple of bucks — $2 million I never would have taken for Snoop.” He emphasized that Master P wasn’t approved for a visit and that the deal with Snoop was executed through Bryan Turner at Priority Records.

Following Snoop Dogg’s tenure at Death Row Records, he transitioned to Master P’s No Limit Records in March 1998. Snoop has credited Master P with “saving his life,” a sentiment he expressed during an interview with The Breakfast Club in 2020.

According to Snoop, he planned to release an album titled “F*ck Death Row” and received an offer from Mack 10 for a million dollars to produce it. However, Master P intervened, granting Snoop $35,000 and advised him not to pursue the controversial album, stating, “You ain’t gon’ live to see that album out.”

In separate interviews, both Snoop and Master P have emphasized the impact of the No Limit Records deal, with Master P expressing that he saved Snoop’s life by intervening when Snoop was about to sign with another label at Suge’s behest. Snoop’s tenure at No Limit Records concluded in 2006, following which he moved to Geffen Records.
