Snoop Dogg is in hot water for several Death Row Records releases being removed from streaming platforms.
Some fans have noted that, with the exception of Tupac's albums, albums from the catalog have mysteriously disappeared from Apple Music and Spotify.
Dr. Dre's 1992 album "The Chronic," Snoop Dogg's 1993 album "Doggystyle," and The Dogg Pound's 1995 effort "Dogg Food" were all missing from streaming services, according to a Reddit thread on HipHopHeads on Sunday.
Then Redditors and social media users couldn't stop themselves from wondering, "What happened?"
As previously reported, Snoop Dogg purchased the Death Row Records name earlier this month, and he has been toying with the idea of transforming the renowned imprint into an NFT record company.
A week after acquiring Death Row Records from MNRK Music Group, he disclosed his plans to integrate Death Row into the metaverse over a Clubhouse conversation with a friend of the band.
The "Drop It Like It's Hot" hitmaker revealed that the brand will be an NFT label and that it intends to send the musicians through the metaverse as part of the promotion of the song.
He said he wants to be the first major hip-hop icon in the metaverse, "just like we did when we became the first independent to become a major in the entertainment industry."

Many individuals, however, believe that the records will just undergo license tweaks, while others are outraged that Snoop Dogg is even contemplating NFT as a viable alternative for him.
Death Row Records' Apple Music page was flooded with comments, including one that read, "Guess Snoop's purchase will change a few things before the records go back up."
In the meantime, Snoop Dogg has yet to answer the question of how and why the Death Row Records albums were removed from various streaming services.
Although he advertised "Death Row Mix: Vol. 1" just last Friday, someone had to inquire as to why they couldn't listen to Gin and Juice on Spotify, as well as "What happened?" which was just disregarded.
The decision by Snoop to relocate everything to NFT has apparently sparked criticism on social media, with some calling it a "disappointing" move.
Suge Knight, Dr. Dre, Nate Dogg, The D.O.C., Jewell, Michel'le, Bow Wow, Danny Boy, Mark Morrison, Warren G, MC Hammer, The Dogg Pound, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, DJ Quik, Sam Sneed, Outlawz, and many more are among the artists signed to Death Row Records, which was founded in 1996.
Dr. Dre, Suge Knight, The D.O.C., and Dick Griffey launched the record company in 1991, and it quickly rose to prominence as a result of the release of numerous multi-platinum hip-hop records.
