Death Row Co-Founder Upset After Recordings Were Sold

Death Row C.E.O. was forced to sell assets of his company but co-founder won't be getting money owed to her, due to the selling price being lower than intended.

Earlier this month, the WIDEawake Entertainment Group bought the master recordings of Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre for $18 million at an auction for Death Row Records' assets.

Being that these recordings sold for far less than what was expected and Suge Knight is in debt with countless people, this means somebody, if not some people, will not be getting their money. One of those creditors is Lydia Harris, who helped Suge Knight start Death Row back in the day.

According to Thisis50.com, Harris sued Suge and got a $107 million judgment in 2005. That judgment is one of the reasons Death Row filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Lydia Harris is definitely an unhappy camper as she tells Billboard magazine, "This was all a scam from the beginning. Everyone wanted me to bring judgment down, and so I brought on the case. But now I'm not getting paid because I'm an unsecured creditor? Yet, administrators are getting paid and Suge's bills are still getting paid? If it wasn't for me no one would be getting money. They made sure it happened this way because I was the biggest creditor. There must be some internal thing going on and I'm obviously not in on it."
