Daz Dillinger shot down Suge Knight's recent claim that Dr. Dre wasn’t the mastermind producer behind Snoop Dogg‘s iconic 1993 album, Doggystyle. Suge Knight alleged that Dillinger was the true artist behind the album, but signed it over to Dr. Dre. In response, Dillinger took to Instagram to proclaim Dre is the “best producer in the world.”

“Whats up y’all it’s Daz Dillinger giving y’all the news and info that I’m looking at,” he began in a video post. “Hey, Dr. Dre is the best producer in the motherfucking world. I did not have nothing to do with that, Dr. Dre did that on his own. Suge Knight is lying, I ain’t sign a motherfucking thing. He’s just covering shit up because of everything that Snoop has uncovered in the Death Row unveiling of all the business and shady shit that Alan Grunblatt, little fat fucker, and what they was doing and how they was still in cahoots with Suge Knight. So he’s just making up shit right now.”

Suge Knight made his claim during an interview from prison with TMZ Hip Hop. He's currently serving 28 years in prison after pleading no contest to voluntary manslaughter in a fatal 2015 hit-and-run. “What’s so great about Daz is, this guy, I went to him and said, ‘We gotta finish the album,’” Suge told the outlet.

He continued: “He did the whole — he did everything on Doggystyle. By himself. The whole album was done. He did everything. He produced it. So when it was time to come out, the streets said, well, they want Andre [Dr. Dre] to be on it. And Andre said, ‘I want to be on there.’ So Andre went to Daz and said, ‘Look man, let me say it was produced by me, and put my name on it. You’ll get paid, but let me be the one who produced it."
