Nate Dogg's Rapper Friends Abandoned Him

According to a former associate...

David Michery, a former associate of Nate Dogg's, commented on the lawsuit against him and Nate Dogg's estate for unpaid bills to a medical facility. The facility treated Nate Dogg between 2008 and 2010 after he suffered a massive stroke.

Michery says the reason he vouched for the bill in 2010 was because no one, not even Nate's rapper friends, would do so. He said: "I was the only person who would come forward because I didn't want him to die. 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."

He says he will pay for the costs by releasing several never-before-heard Nate Dogg tracks that he says he owns. When asked if he regrets taking responsibility, he added: "Not at all ... 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."

Meanwhile, Warren G replied to the claims. He said: "I rode with Nate 'til the end ... 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."
