The buzz about Snoop Dogg's involvement in Tupac's murder mostly comes from recent media discussions, especially a podcast with Suge Knight, co-founder of Death Row Records. But no, Snoop Dogg was not arrested for Tupac Shakur's murder. Knight suggested that Snoop Dogg might have had any role in the murder.
These ideas came up from Warren G's story about persuading Snoop to avoid the Las Vegas trip where Tupac was murdered. Knight's doubts were also driven by differences in Snoop Dogg's account of his actions following the shooting.

There is no solid proof implicating Snoop Dogg in Tupac Shakur’s murder. The suspicion around Snoop Dogg’s involvement in Tupac's murder mainly comes from guesswork in the media, including a podcast featuring Suge Knight. Knight's statements, which hinted at Snoop Dogg’s possible involvement, are based on anecdotal accounts and personal doubts rather than solid proof.
Knight’s skepticism was influenced by an incident where Snoop Dogg chose not to accompany Tupac to Las Vegas on the night of the shooting, a decision influenced by rapper Warren G. More curiosity was added by Snoop Dogg’s absence from the hospital following Tupac's shooting and his apparently conflicting actions and statements during that period.
Snoop Dogg and Tupac’s Relationship
Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur, both big names in the hip-hop community and associated with Death Row Records, initially had a cordial relationship. They collaborated on music, and both respected each other.
However, the relationship between the two artists was not without its challenges. In interviews, Snoop Dogg has reflected on how their relationship was, noting a change in feelings in Tupac's attitude towards him shortly before Tupac's death. This change was partly because of Snoop Dogg's comments about wanting to work with Biggie and Puff Daddy, which Tupac saw as a betrayal, given his constant fights with these artists.
