Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg go way back as friends and collaborators, but that doesn’t mean they agree on everything.
During an interview on SiriusXM’s This Life of Mine that went live on Thursday (March 14), the N.W.A veteran told host James Corden that he and his “brother” aren’t always on the same page when it comes to the number of side projects the Doggfather takes on.

“I personally think he does too much shit and we’ve been battling and bumping heads about [it],” he said.
“Hell yeah I tell him that. I’m always in my big brother mode. I always tell him like, ‘Why the fuck are you doing this and that? Come on.’ He’s like, ‘Let me live Dr. Dre, cuz. Let me do my thing, man. Do I bother you about the shit you doing, cuz?’

He continued: “So we have our — I call it sibling rivalries and shit like that — but I would love it if he’d just focus on this thing and make sure this thing right here that we’re working on is the best that it can be.”
Elsewhere in the same interview, the California native reflected on negotiating a brain aneurysm back in 2021.

“It definitely makes you appreciate being alive, that’s for sure. It’s something you can’t control, it just happens. During those two weeks, I had three strokes,” he said before admitting that he didn’t act on the symptoms with urgency at first.
He continued: “I got up and went about my day, and I thought I could lay down and take a nap. My son and a female friend were like, ‘No, we need to take you to the hospital.’ Next thing you know, I’m blacking out, I’m in and out of consciousness and I end up in the ICU.
“I was there for two weeks. I’m hearing doctors come in [and saying] ‘You don’t know how lucky you are.’ I asked questions about what I could’ve done to prevent this, no one could give me an answer.”
Back in 2022, the Los Angeles legend talked about said condition and revealed that doctors thought he was going to die due to the aneurysm.
Speaking to fitness entrepreneur Dolvett Quince on the latter’s Workout the Doubt podcast, the Hip Hop mogul explained how medical professionals invited his loved ones to the hospital to say their goodbyes considering how close he was to losing his life.

“I’m at Cedars Sinai hospital and they weren’t allowing anybody to come up, meaning visitors or family or anything like that, because of COVID, but they allowed my family to come in,” he began. “I found out later, they called them up so they could say their last goodbyes because they thought I was outta here.”
