Fredro Starr has claimed that he should have sued Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre for costing him a $1 million deal.

Speaking to The Art of Dialogue, the Onyx rapper detailed the wild circumstances that allegedly led to him losing out on a seven-figure payday.
Onyx were part of Dre’s 1993 Chronic Tour alongside the likes of Snoop, Run-DMC and the late Bo$$ which was canceled after just a handful of dates after a driver was kidnapped allegedly by members of Tha Doggfather’s entourage.
Starr explained that he was already annoyed at having to turn down a role in the Michelle Pfeiffer movie Dangerous Minds to be on the tour, and his frustration only grew when the trek was nixed.
“Tour was over. Canceled. We had a whole tour. We were supposed to make mad money, n-gga,” he said. “I stopped doing Dangerous Minds, all that shit. Dangerous Minds blew up. If the tour went well I wouldn’t be upset about that shit, but the tour didn’t go well.”
The rap veteran then revealed that Onyx lost out on a lucrative merch deal after the tour was canceled and, worse yet, were sued by their partners.
“We had mad merch. We had just signed a merch deal for $1 million. We couldn’t sell the merch. So guess what? The merch n-ggas want their money. We got sued by the merch company,” he said.
The brief Chronic Tour of 1993 was a turbulent one as Suge Knight previously claimed that he helped Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg acquire firearms while on the road.
“So what ended up happening in that situation, a guy called me and said, ‘Hey, Dre want this type of gun. Snoop want this type of gun. Y’all getting ready to go on The Chronic Tour?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ [He said], ‘What kind you want?’ [I said], ‘I don’t need one,’” the former Death Row boss recalled on his Collect Call podcast.
“I’m finna drop my muthafuckin’ call to get music put in, we getting ready to roll. [He said], ‘Well, who going to send me the money?’ [I said], ‘I’m Dre’s manager. Dre’s business manager is the one going to send the money for a gun he wants.’
“I gave him the business manager number. The guy calls the business manager. The business manager wires the money for Dre’s guns to a guy who will give him the guns. A year or two later, on my birthday, they arrested me. The feds.”
A year later, Suge was charged with criminal conspiracy, making a false statement to acquire a firearm, illegal interstate transfer of a firearm and aiding and abetting.
