Background

edit

On August 23, 2019, American toy company Hasbro announced a $4 billion purchase of eOne, making them the owners of Death Row Records.[6] In April 2021, Hasbro and Entertainment One announced it would sell-off eOne Music to The Blackstone Group.[7] The acquisition was completed in June 2021.[8]

On February 9, 2022, ahead of the release of BODR, Snoop Dogg announced that he would acquire the rights to the Death Row Records trademark from MNRK Music Group (the renamed eOne Music). The sale did not immediately include rights to the label's catalog, but it was reported that he was nearing a deal with MNRK to acquire the catalogs, which includes previous work from himself and other artists such as Dr. Dre, Tha Dogg Pound and 2Pac.[9][10][11]

Promotion

edit

Two days after the album release, Snoop performed during the Super Bowl LVI halftime show alongside Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, 50 Cent and Kendrick Lamar.[12]
