A while after signing to Death Row he branched out and established his label, Aftermath.

23 Years later, Dre shared his reasons for leaving both labels with Lil Wayne.

Dre said, “I don’t lead by money. I never let money lead my life or anything, you feel me? This one was an easy separation. When I separated from Eazy-E and Ruthless Records, that was a lot more difficult because there was a brotherhood there that was created. So [Death Row] was fairly easy and I know wherever I go, I’m taking the talent with me. That was nothing. It’s just about leaving and the hard part is creating a new thing.”

He added, “I’m always gonna believe and bet on myself, I don’t give a f*** where I am. Who else can you bet on if you can’t bet on yourself?”
