Daz Dillinger calls for support for Kurupt
Daz Dillinger took to Instagram on Jan. 12 to urge fans to send messages of love and recovery to his longtime friend and collaborator, Kurupt. In the post the 52-year-old rapper wrote, “GOD SAID WE SHALL LIVE & NOT DIE,” and asked followers to “send a big shout out to my big brother @official_kurupt get well speedy recovery need all FANZ to send kurupt a get well message flood his Instagram tell him how much we love him.”
Daz also wrote, “life is serious,” and included a tribute to relatives and late friends. He named his cousin Joe and praised the late rapper Nate Dogg while thanking those close to the family who have supported them.
No medical details given
Daz did not provide specifics about what Kurupt, 53, is recovering from. As of publication, Kurupt had not publicly responded to Daz’s request. Fans have turned to comment sections on Kurupt’s recent Instagram posts to offer support and send get-well messages.
One fan wrote, “You the GOAT. … Talent that you can’t BUY. It’s called PRICELESS,” adding, “Get well soon.” Other comments echoed those sentiments, reflecting the community’s concern and respect for the veteran West Coast artist.
Background: a long-running partnership
Kurupt and Daz are founding members of the Dogg Pound, and both figures have played central roles in West Coast hip-hop for decades. Their musical partnership and personal friendship have been deeply visible in their collaborations and public appearances, which helps explain why Daz framed his appeal as a family call-to-action: “let them know that we love HIM from his little brother Daz.”
Fans responding across social media
Support for Kurupt has arrived across platforms. Daz’s post and several of Kurupt’s recent updates drew dozens of comments from fans sending prayers and speedy recovery wishes. The public outpouring shows the reach of both artists and the loyalty of their fan base.
