Snoop Dogg gets Death Row Records back from Blackstone

Snoop Dogg also announced the purchase on Twitter

Snoop Dogg released his first album with Death Row Records in 1993. Less than 30 years later, he owns the whole company, such as it is.

The rap legend’s deal was announced on 9 February by Blackstone, the private equity firm that owned the remnants of the record label as part of MNRK Music Group. The terms of the deal were not publicly announced.
