Snoop Dogg's purchase of Death Row Records did not include the rights to Tupac or Dr. Dre's albums originally which those rights have been reverted back to [[Interscope Records]].

Despite the interview, Dr. Dre's lawyer, Howard King, denied the "false reports" two days later, stating that Dre still retained total control of ''The Chronic'', which came back to streaming services on February 1, 2023.<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/pro/tupac-dr-dre-albums-death-row-records-sale-snoop-dogg|title = Snoop Dogg's Death Row Deal Won't Include 2Pac or Dr. Dre|magazine = [[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|date = February 23, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Wilson |first=Elliott |date=March 4, 2022 |title=Snoop Dogg: Boss Moves |url=https://tidal.com/magazine/article/snoop-dogg-conversation-22/1-83691 |access-date=March 5, 2022 |website=Tidal}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Kreps |first=Daniel |date=2022-03-06 |title=Dr. Dre Stills Owns 'The Chronic' Despite 'False Reports' of Death Row Ownership |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/dr-dre-the-chronic-death-row-false-reports-1317448/ |access-date=2022-03-07 |magazine=Rolling Stone |language=en-US}}</ref> On April 18, 2022, it was announced that Death Row Records would have its own streaming service, which pays higher royalties to its artists than main music streaming services.<ref>{{cite web|last=Caraan|first=Sophie|date=April 18, 2022|title=Snoop Dogg To Launch Death Row Records App With Streaming Platform|url=https://hypebeast.com/2022/4/snoop-dogg-plans-to-start-own-death-row-streaming-platform-app|accessdate=April 26, 2022|website=Deadline}}</ref>
