Snoop Dogg’s Shocking Betrayal: Black Sam Questions His Loyalty After Ties to Big U, a Man Tied to Nipsey’s Death

The world of hip hop is no stranger to loyalty and betrayal, but recently, an old friendship is raising some serious questions about who stands where. For years, Snoop Dogg was seen as a loyal friend and mentor to Nipsey Hussle. Their bond seemed unshakable, built on mutual respect and a shared commitment to elevating their communities. But now, that loyalty is being called into question by none other than Black Sam, Nipsey’s older brother. What’s happened to cause this rift, and why has Snoop found himself under fire?

From Public Tribute to Public Doubt

In 2019, after the tragic murder of Nipsey Hussle, Snoop Dogg publicly mourned the loss of his friend and spoke passionately at his memorial. He painted Nipsey as a South Central legend—a businessman, leader, teacher, and father. Snoop’s words, full of admiration and respect, seemed to solidify their bond for good. But in 2022, things took a turn that shocked fans.

At a time when the loyalty between the two seemed rock-solid, Black Sam gave Snoop a special gift—an exclusive Marathon package, which included rare merchandise only given to true supporters. That gesture was a clear sign of respect, a brotherly gift between two men who had a shared history of mutual support. But now, things have turned tense.

Big U’s Shadow Casts Doubt

It all started when Snoop Dogg was seen associating with Big U, a controversial figure who has been linked to the streets of Los Angeles in a way that many—including Black Sam—find troubling. Big U, a former gang member, is someone Nipsey Hussle publicly warned his followers to stay away from, and many believe he was involved in the extortion of Nipsey himself. In fact, Nipsey was once quoted saying he refused to pay Big U’s $20,000 protection fee. This stance would later be seen as a turning point that led to his untimely death.

Nipsey’s refusal to play the game of “checking in,” a term associated with paying protection money to street figures, was seen as an act of rebellion—a statement that his business was his own. Nipsey’s death, shortly after cutting ties with figures like Big U, left many wondering if the dangerous politics of the streets were at play.

The Streets Don’t Forget

Nipsey and Big U’s relationship wasn’t just business—it was deeply personal. The two had a long-standing feud that went public in multiple ways. One of the most striking moments was when Nipsey released the track “You Don’t Got a Clue,” which was widely believed to be aimed at Big U. The tension between them was clear, and Nipsey’s defiance was undeniable. Yet, despite Nipsey’s warnings and even physical confrontations with Big U, Snoop Dogg is now seemingly turning a blind eye to the history between these two men.

Black Sam, who has always been fiercely protective of his younger brother’s legacy, sees Snoop’s actions as a betrayal. His suspicions were confirmed when Snoop Dogg was seen appearing alongside Big U on his show, “Checking In,” which has been linked to the practice of extorting rappers who pass through Los Angeles. Snoop’s appearance on the show, knowing the history between Nipsey and Big U, has left many questioning his integrity. For Black Sam, this felt like a slap in the face, a breach of loyalty to his brother’s memory.

The Tension Intensifies

The situation took a darker turn when Black Sam, in a public altercation, confronted those who were disloyal to Nipsey. During the grand opening of Marathon Burger, a business Sam built to honor his brother, the atmosphere became heated. Sam wasn’t willing to tolerate any disrespect to Nipsey’s name. In a powerful moment, Sam even sent a figure named Rockstar 280 packing when he attempted to defend Big U’s actions. For Black Sam, loyalty isn’t negotiable—it’s everything.

In his mind, Snoop’s alignment with Big U only further tarnishes Nipsey’s legacy. His anger also extended to others in the industry who showed respect to those who he believed were responsible for Nipsey’s death, including Brick Baby, another figure in the LA scene linked to Big U. In a confrontation with Brick Baby, Sam made it clear that anyone with ties to Nipsey’s killer would be held accountable.

A Long History of Loyalty Questions

To understand the full gravity of Black Sam’s frustration, we need to look at Snoop Dogg’s track record. His history of questionable loyalty stretches back to the 1990s when he was involved with the Death Row label. Many fans and insiders have long believed that Snoop’s relationship with Tupac Shakur was fraught with contradictions. Despite their public camaraderie, whispers about Snoop’s true feelings toward Pac have circulated for years. From allegedly working with people connected to Pac’s death to twisting stories about their time together, Snoop’s actions have often raised more questions than answers.

It’s not just Big U that’s at the center of these discussions. Snoop Dogg’s relationships with other key figures in the hip hop world—like Tupac and Nas—are also clouded by doubt. For example, Snoop’s claims about Pac’s safety while incarcerated and his shifting stance on Pac’s diss tracks have been criticized as attempts to rewrite history for damage control. To many fans, it seems that Snoop has always been willing to bend his loyalties to suit his public image.

A Painful Reminder of Loyalty

For Black Sam, the pain of losing his brother is compounded by the sense of betrayal he feels now. Nipsey’s death left a hole in his life that will never be filled, and the memory of trying to save his brother that fateful day in 2019 is still fresh in his mind. Now, seeing Snoop—who once stood by Nipsey—aligned with those who may have played a part in Nipsey’s downfall is more than Sam can bear. His brother’s legacy is sacred, and anyone who disrespects that legacy will face his wrath.

As the debate about Snoop’s loyalty rages on, one thing is clear: Black Sam won’t back down. He’ll continue to honor Nipsey’s memory, no matter the cost. The streets of Los Angeles may be filled with power struggles, but for Sam, the mission is clear: keep Nipsey’s name untouchable and ensure that his vision for unity and success lives on.

Fans and followers are left to wonder—can Snoop Dogg’s reputation as a loyal friend survive the storm? Only time will tell.
