Fans Furious With Snoop Dogg for Pulling Records Off Streaming for NFT Purposes
Straight Outta Metaverse
Calvin “Snoop Dogg” Broadus’ decision to bring his newly acquired Death Row Records into the world of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) has ticked off a lot of his fans.
Responding to Death Row’s entire catalog being pulled from streaming platforms amid Snoop’s push to bring the storied record company “to the metaverse” and make it into what the Long Beach rapper calls an “NFT label,” fans took to Twitter to express their dismay.
“Since DoggySyle is taken off Spotify it be looking like I need to use my cd’s again,” one user wrote.

Dogg Days
This is the second time Snoop has faced backlash in as many months after reports surfaced just before his Super Bowl halftime performance about a sexual battery lawsuit brought by a Jane Doe who describes herself as a former dancer — allegations the rapper denied, calling them a “shakedown” through a spokesperson and later asking the courts to dismiss the “implausible” suit.
The tenor of this fan response is, of course, quite different.
“So, thanks to Snoop Dogg promoting NFT shit and making Death Row Records an NFT record label, all the releases except 2Pac’s, will be removed from Spotify and so on,” one irked fan wrote. “This is actually bullshit, that means no more Dre’s Chronic on Spotify. NFTs need to die, fucking stupid movement.”
“WTF Snoop?” wrote another. “Nobody cares that you’re trying to make Death Row an NFT record label.”
They’re big mad, y’all. Here are some of the funniest responses below.

I love Snoop Dogg so the fuck much. But man what a TERRIBLE move to remove The Chronic and Doggystyle from streaming services.. to turn them into NFTs??? Nobody gives a fuck about an NFT more than the music aspect of these classic albums. Nobody.

Where’s the lie?
Nostalgia, Ultra
LOL can’t believe Snoop removed all Death Row Records albums (excluding 2Pac’s) from streaming to make it an NFT label. Stupidest decision ever. No more Doggystyle or The Chronic (for now)
With this and DONDA 2 etc I feel like pirating music is gonna be the norm again. Nostalgic
