Rumors began to circulate that Kurupt, a member of Snoop's Dogg Pound, was signed to Tha Row after the label posted a statement eariler this week. Kurupt's publicity people and management issued statements saying that this was just a publicity stunt by Tha Row, but it is now confirmed: Kurupt has signed with Tha Row.

Kurupt made an appearance on New York's Hot 97 with Suge Knight, who was in town due to his Racketeering case. They appeared on Angie Martinez' show, along with Crooked I and Eastwood. "Crooked I plus the row equals platinum," Kurupt said. Suge was in his usual form, taking swipes at Dre's Aftermath. "We don't have no huge entourage, that's Aftermath. We come out here with open arms."

Suge also appeared to take swipes at Fabolous. When Angie Martinez went into Fabolous' "Holla Back Youngin," Suge said "If you gonna play something, play Jadakiss or Ja Rule. I only wanna deal with fools off the block. I don't wanna deal with no Hollywood niggas."

Suge also stated that he was building a strong relationship with Murder Inc. "We got a New York mob going on. LA Mob, New York mob."

Even Angie Martinez admitted that Kurupt being signed to Tha Row appeared to be a "weird situation," and requested that the duo make sure they return for the interview.

The duo will appear once again on Monday for an interview.
