Daz Dillinger is going after Tupac’s estate, claiming he was never properly compensated for his production and songwriting work on some of the biggest tracks in Hip-Hop history.
The legendary West Coast producer filed suit against Amaru Entertainment, the label founded by Tupac’s mother, Afeni Shakur, that controls a massive catalog of 2Pac’s most iconic records.
The tracks in question read like a greatest hits compilation. Daz helped create “I Ain’t Mad at Cha,” “Got My Mind Made Up,” “Skandalouz,” “Ambitionz az a Ridah,” and “2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted” – records that defined an era and continue generating serious revenue.
According to TMZ, Daz demanded his royalties back in October 2024 and received a check for over $91,000, but here’s the problem: no detailed accounting came with it.
He’s got no breakdown of where that money came from, what he’s actually owed, or if there’s more sitting on the table.
Now he’s asking the court to force Amaru to open their books completely. He wants every revenue stream, every profit margin, every reserve, every contract, every license agreement, and every way these songs have been exploited across platforms and territories.
This isn’t just about getting paid once; it’s about understanding the full picture of what these records have generated over decades.
