When TMZ broke the story about late singer Nate Dogg's estate and record executive David Michery owing CareMeridian rehabilitation facility $300,000 for non payment of Nate's medical bills, Michery blamed Nate's "famous rapper friends" for not helping out financially when Nate needed them.
"I was the only person who would come forward because I didn’t want him to die," Michery told TMZ. "Me and Nate have 20 years history together and I did what everyone should have done and tried to save his life ... not let him get kicked out in the streets and die. I would do it again in a minute. I just wish that the people he looked out for all these years and the people who claim to love him so much would help out."
Michery said he had several unreleased Nate Dogg song's that he was going to use to pay off Nate's medical bills.
Rapper Daz Dillinger of Tha Dogg Pound, a friend of Nate's and Snoop Dogg's cousin released a video today explaining his side of the story. He places the blame on Michery, Nate's former manager Rod McGrew, Thump Records and Reach Music publishing for stealing from Nate.
"Now listen, who's in control of Nate Dogg's estate? F*cking Rod McGrew, he's in control of that," Daz said. "So all the songs, and the checks...all that sh*t is going direct to his motherf*cking ass. He daughter has a baby by Nate Dogg, and he's in control of Nate Dogg's estate. Now tell me who got the fly Benz's, the new house, all that sh*t and why Nate Dogg's sh*t wasn't getting paid it's because of him. All the money was coming in, the daughter was getting the money. They was trying to f*ck the homie Nate Dogg. So, I'm gonna sue 'em, the hospital is going to sue 'em, and anybody that was a part of that motherf*cking album should sue 'em."
Daz warned Michery that he should expect a lawsuit soon as well.
"David Michery we're suing your motherf*cking ass too, you punk motherf*cker. How did you get in Nate Dogg's album when we was on Death Row? You're a thief," said Daz.
Daz added that he is siding with Nate's mom in all of this.
"We with Ms. Ruth...Nate Dogg's mama. Let's see how many fly whips Rod McGrew and his b*tch ass daughter is pushing around here. And what David Michery pushing--Thump Records stole, the publishing company Global Reach [Music]. Nate Dogg's publishing they stole a bunch of sh*t," Daz said. "Everybody in that whole camp stole. So the first person to sue 'em is the hospital and we right behind them. We gonna be suing the f*ck outta you n*ggas."
The album that seems to be at the center of the conflict is Nate Dogg's 1988 disc G-Funk Classics, Vol. 1 & 2. It was originally scheduled to be released on Death Row Records in 1996, but due to legal issues with Death Row it didn't come out until two years later on Dogg Foundation/Celestial Breakaway Records. David Michery was the executive producer of the project.
The album is now out of print, but is being sold by Thump Records.

Shouts to Rap Radar on the audio rip
Imagine waking up every morning knowing that someone is not only using your government name and life story, but also profiting from them. That's the nightmare Freeway Rick Ross, the former drug kingpin is living.
In his ongoing battle to wrestle his name away from the Miami rapper born William Leonard Roberts II, Freeway Rick was in a Miami court last week, to give his deposition along with Roberts in their trademark dispute over the name Rick Ross according to AllHipHop.
Freeway Rick initially filed a $10 million lawsuit in the United States District for Southern California against Roberts, Def Jam and Universal Music Group accusing them of copyright infringement and profiting off of his name illegally. The case was dismissed.
"In support of his trademark claims, Plaintiff alleges that his name was well known in the drug trade and by law enforcement segments of the urban crime, rap and black comity because he did business as Rick Ross, until he was arrested, prosecuted and incarcerated in federal prison," said the court. "Because this illegal activity cannot be used to establish secondary meaning, such allegations do not provide support for Plaintiff having a valid trademark for his name."
Freeway Rick appealed the case in state court and it is now moving forward.
In an interview with the Huffington Post, Freeway Rick alleges Roberts was initially shook when he thought goons might be coming his way, but now that he sees Freeway Rick doesn't live his life that way anymore he's become disrespectful.
"[He] treated me as if I had done something to him," Ross said. "When he first came to me, he didn't know what position I was going to take, if I was going to send a word out to those young cats out in L.A. or not. That put a little fear in his heart. But now that he knows I'm not carrying it like that, he's a little more courageous right now. "[He] has my name tattooed on his hand."
Freeway Rick has turned his life around and doesn't like the message Roberts is sending kids.
"The first thing that I want to do is I have to help eliminate and erase the mindset that I helped to create," Ross said. "I know I have a lot of work to do, but the first step is to eliminate this guy from going around telling people how great it is to sell drugs."
The case is continuing.

When Nate Dogg died in March 2011 he left behind a $300,000 medical bill at a treatment facility he stayed in from 2008-2010 after suffering a massive stroke.
CareMeridian rehabilitation facilities sued Nate's estate and a record label owner named David Michery to recoup the costs. A judge agreed with CareMeridian and ordered the bill be paid by Michery and Nate's estate.
Michery tells TMZ he originally agreed to pay the bill in 2010 only because "none of Nate's so-called rapper friends" would help. Michery claims that CareMeridian told him Nate's life depended on him getting the rehabilitation they could provide.
"I was the only person who would come forward because I didn’t want him to die," Michery told TMZ. "Me and Nate have 20 years history together and I did what everyone should have done and tried to save his life ... not let him get kicked out in the streets and die. I would do it again in a minute. I just wish that the people he looked out for all these years and the people who claim to love him so much would help out."
Michery says he owns several unreleased Nate Dogg songs, and will sell those to pay off his medical bills.
One of Nate's good industry friends was rapper/producer Warren G. He denies turning his back on the singer.
"I rode with Nate 'til the end," Warren said. "I did what I could do for him with other things financially. If I was able to pay for his hospital bill, I would have. I made several calls to numerous people for help. I love Nate ... he's my brother."
TMZ said they called several other rapper who were supposed to be close to Nate and didn't get a reply back.
