Warren G Breaks His Silence: “Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg Are Shutting Me Out”

Hip-hop legend Warren G has revealed a painful rift with two of rap’s biggest icons—Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg—claiming that the longtime friends and collaborators are now giving him the cold shoulder.

Speaking candidly on the Ugly Monkey podcast, the “Regulate” hitmaker and Dre’s own step-brother admitted that his relationship with the West Coast superstars has all but vanished. “Snoop and Dre get down and they doing things and it’s no diss to neither one of them or anything like that,” Warren G shared, “but it’s like, y’all could call Warren to come do a cameo or come hang out or something. I don’t want no money or nothing from nobody, just call me to be around.”

The tension was laid bare as Warren G recounted a particularly stinging episode at the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show. Although Snoop invited him to the event, Warren G said he was denied backstage access during the historic performance. “I was trying to get downstairs, to get down in the back, ’cause I had my son with me and he was home from the NFL; so I was like, ‘I’m going to take my son down there so he could see Dre and see Snoop and everybody,’” he explained. “I couldn’t even get backstage. I called everybody I knew. Nobody would answer their phones. I couldn’t get backstage, none of that. I didn’t give a fuck about performing, I just wanted to take my son down there to see all my folks and see everybody.”

To date, neither Dr. Dre nor Snoop Dogg has responded to Warren G’s emotional claims.

This isn’t the first time Warren G has found himself at the center of rap’s behind-the-scenes drama. Last year, he was forced to publicly deny Suge Knight’s explosive allegations that Dr. Dre physically assaulted him during the infamous Death Row Records era. On his Collect Call podcast, Suge claimed: “You know when you was trying to use the phone when you wasn’t supposed to in front of Andre [Dr. Dre]—your brother—slapped your ass around so much you start saying, ‘Okay blood. Okay blood. Please don’t do it no more, I’m sorry.’”

Warren G flatly rejected the story, firing back: “Suge, you right. History would repeat itself, because n-gga you wasn’t the only n-gga in the room, n-gga. You wasn’t by yourself. It was other people in the room, too. I’m not gonna say no names because like you said, we don’t talk…So why you on here talking? Let that shit go, man.”

As the silence from Dre and Snoop continues, fans are left wondering if one of hip-hop’s most iconic brotherhoods can ever be mended—or if the rift is now too deep to heal.
