Snoop Dogg has scoffed at Suge Knight‘s “lies” regarding his alleged attempt to assist one of the suspects in the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur.
The Death Row Records cofounder recently accused Snoop of secretly making moves to faciliate the release of Duane “Keefe D” Davis on bail as he awaits trial for his alleged involvement in the shooting that took Pac’s life.

However, Tha Doggfather quickly responded to Knight’s claim, accusing his former CEO of being obsessed with him and attributing his seeming smear campaign to jealousy over Snoop now being the owner of Death Row.
“This ni**a won’t stop talking about me,” Snoop wrote in the comments of a social media post sharing Knight’s allegation.

“Mad cuz I own Death Row,” he continued, adding that he’s aware of Knight’s alleged tactics. “I realize your real lies,” the Doggystyle creator concluded, seemingly refuting Knight’s claims regarding his conduct and character.
In an interview with The Art of Dialogue, Knight alleged that Snoop and others were working towards freeing Davis out of fear of potentially being implicated in events surrounding Shakur’s murder.

The rap mogul, who is currently serving a 28-year prison sentence for voluntary manslaughter, also claimed that Ray J once told him about Snoop boasting about contributing money towards an alleged hit on Shakur.
Snoop Dogg and Suge Knight’s beef extends back to the late ’90s. Snoop left Death Row Records after Pac’s murder and went on to align himself with Sean “Diddy” Combs and other rivals of Pac and Death Row.

The seeming show of disloyalty resulted in tension between the pair, which apparently remains stronger than ever.
Duane “Keefe D” Davis remains incarcerated after being charged with on one count of murder with a deadly weapon for his admitted participation in the fatal drive-by shooting.

The suspect, who is being housed at Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas, has also been charged with battery following a physical altercation with another inmate.
A package to cover for Davis’ $750,000 bail was denied due to questions surrounding the origin and source of the funds.
