Snoop Dogg is seeking to dismiss a lawsuit filed against him and Death Row Records seeking over $100 million in damages.
Lydia Harris, the ex-wife of Death Row co-founder Michael “Harry-O” Harris, has accused Snoop and Suge Knight, as well as Interscope Records, Time Warner and Universal Music Group, of failing to pay her a $107 million judgement relating to a 2005 court order.
In response, Snoop has filed to dismiss the lawsuit, claiming the accusations exceed the statute of limitations.
Snoop and his legal team have also accused Harris of being a “bad faith litigant” who “continued a pattern of harassment in California for years and has now shifted her harassment to a new forum in Texas,” where her latest suit was filed.
The court has yet to rule on Snoop’s motion while the other parties to the lawsuit are yet to comment.
Harris claims she invested $1.5 million to help set up Death Row in 1989, but was not recompensated when the label started making money.
She alleges all of the parties named in the lawsuit conspired to keep her from her rightful earnings.
Harris is seeking punitive damages, the recovery of assets owed to her and a full accounting of the record label’s finances.
