*Warren G is speaking candidly about the emotional toll of feeling excluded by his hip-hop peers, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.
In a recent appearance on the Ugly Monkey podcast, the West Coast legend reflected on the growing distance between himself and the artists he once stood alongside at the forefront of a cultural revolution.
“Snoop and Dre get down and they doing things and it’s no diss to neither one of them or anything like that,” Warren G said, per Vibe. “But it’s like, y’all could call Warren to come do a cameo or come hang out or something.”
The comment underscores Warren’s disappointment, not with being left out of business ventures or performances, but with the absence of simple camaraderie. Despite being Dre’s stepbrother and a founding member of the 213 trio with Dre and Snoop, Warren says the phone calls stopped coming. His connection to the duo runs deep, it was Warren who introduced a then-unknown Snoop Dogg to Dr. Dre, paving the way for The Chronic and the birth of Death Row Records.

“I don’t want no money or nothing from nobody, just call me to be around,” he emphasized.
One moment that particularly stung was during the 2022 Super Bowl Halftime Show that featured Dre and Snoop. Though Snoop made sure Warren and his son had tickets, the rapper and producer says he was not granted backstage access.
“I called everybody I knew. Nobody would answer their phones,” he recalled. “I didn’t give a f**k about performing, I just wanted to take my son down there to see all my folks and see everybody.”
