The success of the N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton inspired many other musicians with a story to tell to attempt to bring their life to the silver screen. One of those people was West Coast rapper, Daz Dillinger.

Daz wanted to pick up where Straight Outta Compton left off and dive deeper into the storylines of himself, Snoop Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound and Death Row as a whole, and wasted NO time getting the ball rolling on the project once the idea was birthed. Despite having no real funding or film company behind him, Daz assembled a cast and began filming Dogg Pound 4 Life early last month…but it seems he’s already hit a bump in the road.

Talking to paparazzi at the airport, Daz revealed that there’s now an issue with the music rights, as several labels are trying to cash in on the film, reportedly at Suge Knight‘s instruction.

“I own my publishing, and Wide Awake had it. I been getting paid all this time for me, and they tried to come with some phony letter talking about I sold my rights.”

When the photog asked if it’s because of Suge Knight, Daz replied:

“Yeah, through eOne. And they’re trying to push me out. I got the rights to my music, and that’s why people can’t use my music. Now all of a sudden eOne get it, and they want to stop my payments and do all that type of stuff, and say, ‘We got a letter saying this and this.’ I’ma see y’all in court!”

I wonder how this will end!
