Death Row boss and WGA supporter Snoop Dogg was unable to attend today due to prior commitments in the recording studio but he sent along Death Row GM John Payne and label executive K Dubb who spoke to Deadline about why they were in attendance.
“The reason why I’m here is personal and business,” said Payne. “This means a lot to me and we’re all in the same gang when it comes to this. Without these people and their pens, there would be no TV shows and there would be no place for us to put our music. I see all these expensive cars going in (to Netflix) and [the writers] have on old shoes. That’s not fair. They’re not asking for much, they’re asking for something fair.”
Added K Dubb, “We came out here to stand in solidarity with the writers for the simple fact that without them there wouldn’t be us who put our music in TV and movies. So we had to come out and support and show them some love to let them know we stand with them.”
Deadline hears Snoop will be sending a surprise for picketers to the location Friday.
