Suge Knight has put Master P on blast for allegedly lying about how he pulled up on the Death Row boss in prison to negotiate signing Snoop Dogg to No Limit Records.
The incarcerated music mogul launches his Collect Call With Suge Knight podcast next week from behind bars, and he released a teaser on Friday (October 27) calling cap on Master P’s claims that he visited Suge in prison to acquire Snoop’s rights in a $2million deal.
“[Master P] slipped up and said he came to visit me in prison,” Knight says in the preview clip. “And gave me a couple of bucks — $2 million I never would have took no shit like that for Snoop. I got a whole list if anybody ever visits me. You got to be approved. That n-gga is not on none of it.
“The paperwork is what the paperwork says. I did a deal with Bryan Turner at Priority Records. And [I] loaned Snoop’s services to Priority and gave him the right to go over to No Limit.”
Following a seminal stint with Death Row Records, Snoop Dogg made his way to Master P’s No Limit Records in March of 1998. He credits that move to No Limit with “saving his life” which the Doggfather explained during a visit to The Breakfast Club in 2020.
“Master P saved my life,” he said. “I was gonna put an album out called Fuck Death Row and Mack 10 was gonna give me a million dollars to put it out. I would go up there [to the office] to see Mack 10 and when I would go up there, I would have to pass by Master P’s No Limit shit. I passed by one day and Mystikal was in there.”
After one particular studio session, Master P asked how much money Snoop wanted for his work. He replied “15,” meaning $1,500.
“I come back the next day, Master P wrote me a check for $35,000,” he continued. “So I’m like, oh, I like this n-gga’s style. He called me to his office, he said ‘What you working on?’ I said, ‘I got this album called Fuck Death Row. This muthafucka hard.’”
But Master P thought it was a terrible idea. Snoop explained the No Limit boss closed the door to his office and warned Snoop, “You ain’t gon’ live to see that album out.” So, Snoop ultimately decided to shelve the album.
Master P agrees that he feels like he saved Snoop’s life and talked about the deal to bring him to No Limit with The Breakfast Club in 2015.
“I feel like I saved Snoop’s life,” he said. “He went through some things. I feel like he was the best talent that I knew in the world. Snoop Dogg, I was always a fan of him, but when I talked to him, he wasn’t in a good place. Suge was about to sign him over to some other label. I’m like, ‘Man, my money don’t spend?’ Let me get that.”
Snoop’s run with No Limit Records ended in 2006 when he then took his talents to Geffen Records.
I actually believe Suge. People don’t like to admit it but Master P does make up shit.
Master P and Snoop both like to make shit up.
I know Suge, he had everyone’s back bringing them into the real side of the music industry. Where were any of them when Suge was fighting his involuntary manslaughter charge??? Nowhere to be found!! Truth
Everybody got sick of him and the terrible work enviroment at Death Row. Treating it like it`s gangland.. Being creative with mad violence arond doesn`t work in the long run
It definitely was more. Even Reggie Wright said Lyor Cohen offered $7 mil for his contract, and Suge told him to get the hell on.
Why y’all still be scared of Suge?? Stop give this man more of your time and attention. Like The Game said “ They call him The Devil 😈 in the Red Dress”
When everyone will realise that when Master P went to Suge he needed the money and Death Row was over after Dr. Dre left and Pac died.2 million was a good deal for Snoop because he’d be worth less later if he was still with Death Row and Suge needed the money at the time and he needs the money Now and Suge has always been jealous of anyone who did it better than him and was always out to get them.
The only thing Suge brought to the music industry was only Fear and Death.
Stop believing what Suge says because if doesn’t supersede Everything else has said.
So true. I’m not afraid of Suge. Pull up on me. Lol.

This might be pure cap. In 1998 Snoop, as a rapper, wasnt even worth 100K. P wasnt buying the rights to Doggystyle or the Chronic, he picked up a burnt rapper who rapped his last real bar YEARS ago. After Doggfather snoop just became a flip flopper,repeating the same old wiggly wobbly schlock he is still rapping to this day. Once Dre stopped producing his music and the DOC stopped helping Snoop with his writing it became pretty clear he was no storyteller but a generic “bitches and hoes” rapper with poor vocabulary, made great by Dre’s music. After dabbling in that no limit garbage for a few years Snoop sold out for good and did commercial Neptune pop songs, cook shows and game shows and that is why he is famous these days: garbage pop music and TV appearances. If P says he paid 2 mil for Snoop, he paid 1.9 mil too much.
Overrated rappers.
Snoop was jealous of 2 pac. Let’s not forget who really came up with that word biiiitch . Too Short aka Short Dog. Snoop turned his back on 2 Pac. When Snoop signed with No Limit that was some of his worst music and Snoop has always been over rated. Even the Doggy style album his best songs were collaborations on that album Dr. Dre made him.
Dolomite in the 70s early 80s came up with it first
Dolomite took it from the real pimps
Fuck a sugar nights u gon burn mf
Suge Knight deserves nothing but bad karma.
