Death Row Records: Big Rappers Screwed Out of Millions in Bankruptcy
Death Row Records Big Rappers Screwed Out of Millions in Bankruptcy
The bankruptcy of Death Row Records is over ... the person handling the case has submitted a final report, and one of the artists left holding the bag is none other than Snoop Dogg, who just got screwed out of $2 million.
According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, some famous rappers filed claims with the court, asking for millions they say were owed. Almost no one got a dime. Among the losers ...
-- Dr. Dre ... $8 million
-- Nate Dogg ... $5 million
-- Tupac ... $900,000
And this is astounding ... Death Row's founder, Suge Knight, claimed he was owed a staggering $144 MILLION.
The only one that ended up with any money is the estate of Tupac's mom, Afeni, which got around $75k. It might get another $57k.
The only ones who made out like bandits are the lawyers and others who processed the case for Death Row ... they got a grand total of $8.3 mil.
The final report has to be signed by a judge, but that is almost always just a rubber stamp.
