Suge Knight Says Drake’s Use Of A.I. 2Pac Is A “Bad Look,” Calls Out Snoop Dogg For Late Rapper’s “Downfall”

April 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Suge Knight criticized Drake’s use of A.I. to create a verse from the likeness of 2Pac and Snoop Dogg on his latest Kendrick Lamar diss, “Taylor Made Freestyle.” Not only did he think using ‘Pac as a “pawn” was lame, but he also blamed Snoop Dogg for the late rapper’s demise and said putting them on a song together is a “bad look.” Knight discussed the track during the latest episode of his Collect Call podcast.

“Young people do what young people do. It’s y’all turn, but regarding the homie ‘Pac, he wasn’t no chump,” he said. “Putting him on a song and dissing Kendrick [Lamar] for everybody entertainment — that ain’t how it go. Then putting him on a song with Snoop, who was a part of his downfall and exit, ain’t ever a good look. ‘Pac was a king on that chessboard. He never was a pawn, so he can’t make him be a pawn now.”

Snoop Dogg also reacted to the track, sharing a video of himself on Instagram seemingly confused by the drama. “They did what? When? How? Are you sure? [Sigh] Y’all have a good night,” he said after the song dropped. “Why everybody calling my phone, blowing me up? What the f*ck— what happened? What’s going on? I’m going back to bed. Good night.” Additionally, 2Pac’s brother, Mopreme Shakur, told TMZ he wasn’t a fan of how Drake weaponized the late rapper for a beef.

March 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Suge Knight questioned Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and The Game’s relationship with Diddy during the latest episode of his Collect Call podcast on Monday night. In doing so, he accused the group of artists of being in a secret society with the disgraced Bad Boy mogul. Diddy has been facing numerous accusations of sexual misconduct, most recently from Lil Rod.

“Once they start painting they fingernails and wearing women’s clothes, they got you,” he said. “I remember when they was giving Puffy an award at the ASCAP Awards — Andre went up there and got him an expensive watch and gave it to him in front of everybody. He basically confessed his love to this man. Then Puffy and Snoop became besties. Every time you see one, you seen the other one. Next thing you know, they start painting they fingernails. Didn’t make sense.”

He continued: “[The] Game bought Puffy a Lamborghini when Puffy got more money than Game. Why you buying this man a Lamborghini? You know your homies don’t even got a Lamborghini. But once again, it’s that secret society. For this thing to work and fix it, they gotta start all the way over in these major record labels and these big buildings. They need to get rid of all the guys who was connected to the poison and the snake.” Check out his full comments below.

Katt Williams Hits Ludacris With Vicious Freestyle

January 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Katt Williams has dropped a freestyle aimed at Ludacris while appearing on Suge Knight’s Collect Call podcast. “I’m coming for your number one spot, one of us a killer and the other one is not/ One of us the realest and the other one a fraud/ You heard the interview on ‘Club Shay Shay,’ I gave ’em all a payday/ I’m still going f-cking viral so who care what the haters say/ Ludacris, you must be out your rabid a– mind/ You made a rap song but, n-gga, you ain’t say I’m f-cking lying,” Williams rapped. Furthermore, Williams implied that Ludacris had engaged in a sexual relationship with Quincy Jones.

Previously, Ludacris had dropped a freestyle aimed at Williams after the comedian suggested that Luda had earned his role in the Fast & Furious franchise after participating in an Illuminati ritual. “So there was a crossroads where we were both invited to an Illuminati thing, and it had to be one or the other of us and decisions had to be made. So it was both of us, we were equal. One of us had to cut off all their hair and couldn’t do the sideburn thing no more, with the points. And the next person they said was going to get $200 million because they were going to pay him $10 million a movie to do 20 movies. And that’s how the conversation happened. One of those persons turned out to be Ludacris, and the other person turned out to be Katt Williams,” Williams claimed.

Karlissa Saffold Confuses Fans With Katt Williams Claim

While Williams made many claims about various people during his Club Shay Shay interview, this has also led to many people making claims about him. Karlissa Saffold confused many of her fans after she claimed that Williams had shouted her out during his interview. Specifically, Saffold claimed that Williams had wanted her to play D’Wana in Next Friday. Saffold said that she turned down the role because of the outfit they wanted her to wear. The role was eventually played by Tamala Jones. Saffold’s comments appear to stem from fans telling her that she should have played D’Wana

However, people are already calling cap on Saffold’s claims. “Man cap I didn’t hear him say blueface momma or the name Karlissa,” one person argued. “Katt never said that I watched the whole 3 hour interview twice ,” agreed another. “LIES…KATT NEVER SAID THAT YOU HAD A POSSIBLE ROLE IN FRIDAY ,” a third added. Williams did not appear to reference Saffold in his wide-ranging interview. While Williams may have privately told Saffold about Next Friday, he did not appear to say anything to that regard on camera.

Suge Knight On Tupac & Keefe D: “‘Pac Finally Gettin’ Justice” Despite Defending Keefe

December 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

On the most recent episode of Collect Call, Suge Knight’s podcast from prison, he made the claim that Tupac Shakur is finally getting “justice” for his murder. However, he had some explaining to do considering the true nature of “justice” and his previous statements. For those unaware, the Death Row Records boss had previously defended ‘Pac’s accused murderer Keefe D, who’s currently incarcerated amid investigation, charges, and reopened accusations. In this new episode, which dropped on Thursday (December 21), Suge alluded to being able to speak on this matter more. It’s unclear what this will pose for the court case itself, but it’s still quite interesting to see these pieces move on the chessboard.

“It’s been a long time since I was able to talk freely about ‘Pac because we were so close,” Suge Knight expressed.. “And the thing is, ‘Pac finally getting justice. And justice for Pac is this: not so much of somebody getting punished, or going to prison. It’s the fact that if you was around ‘Pac, and you had your hands into trying to destroy him, and we got the receipts, it’s a problem.

“I said this from day one, when we first started talking about it,” Suge Knight continued. “Jealousy is worse than hate. When your name start ringing, people get jealous of you. You know, if a person hates you, they can be across the street, and they can see you. They can see you, you know? ‘I hate that motherf***er. I hate him or her. F**k them.’ And that’s that, right? How jealousy destroy? A jealous person, you’re on their mind every time they’re awake, every time they think of you in their head. So they want to destroy you, get rid of you.”

Meanwhile, it’s unclear what picture Suge wants to paint with these statements. Apparently, he’s looking forward to seeing how other folks reportedly involved in the West Coast legend’s downfall will finally get what they deserve for their actions. Next year, surely we’ll see some wild clarifications about this whole situation. On that note, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Suge Knight, Tupac, and Keefe D.

Suge Knight Implies That Snoop Dogg Is Connected To 2pac’s Murder

November 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Suge Knight’s new podcast Collect Call is only a few episodes deep and it’s already dropped some bombshells. Every episode has contained numerous revelations from the currently incarcerated rap mogul. One of the most frequent topics of discussion has been 2pac. Suge has opened up on how they first formed a working relationship and detailed interactions they had throughout their involvement.

He’s also commented on 2pac’s murder, which is relevant in the news right now due to the arrest of Keefe D for his involvement in the murder. But in the newest episode, Suge may have made his most explosive allegations yet. He claims that Snoop Dogg may have had something to do with the events that led to Pac’s murder, or even the murder itself. The conversation began with a question about Diddy’s involvement, but Suge shifted it quickly. “As far as the Puffy situation, I really, really, really gotta have a real conversation with Snoop. I knew that ‘Pac did everything right by him by putting him on All Eyez On Me, speaking about him and being real with him. And if it’s true what they say, face-to-face it’s gonna be a lot of explaining to do,” Suge explained. Check out the full new episode of the podcast below.

Suge Knight Says Snoop Dogg Has “Explaining To Do”

On an earlier episode of Collect Call, Suge refuted a story that Warren G told about his role in freeing 2pac from prison. Suge went even further to claim that Warren G and 2pac never liked each other. In a later episode, he told the story of the anonymous woman who reached out to him every day to use his resources to help free Pac.

In another segment from the podcast, Suge claimed that he once took the fall for Dr. Dre on a serious gun charge. The charge could have put Dre away for quite a while but Suge took the hit so the rapper could keep working. What do you think of Suge Knight suggesting that Snoop Dogg might be in some way connected to 2pac’s murder? Let us know in the comment section below.

Suge Knight To Address Alleged Diddy Confrontation

November 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Suge Knight has announced that he will address the allegations surrounding long-time rival Diddy on an upcoming episode of his podcast. According to sources involved in the production of Collect Call, Suge will speak on Diddy immediately after his Thanksgiving episode. Specifically, Suge will give his version of events on Cassie’s claim that Diddy once loaded up a large amount of firearms to confront Suge. It reportedly happened after the Death Row boss had been spotted dining in LA. According to Cassie, Diddy jumped out of bed, got dressed, and retrieved multiple firearms from a safe before “running out” to confront Suge. However, it appears that the confrontation never actually went down.

However, Suge’s timing was later dealt a blow. On Friday, it was reported that Cassie and Diddy had “amicably settled” the former’s $50 million lawsuit. Cassie had made explosive claims earlier this week. The singer alleged that while with Diddy, she had suffered years of beatings and sexual assault at the hands of the Bad Boy Records boss. However, Diddy’s legal team had initially dismissed the suit as nothing more than a “shakedown”.

Suge To Speak On Keefe D Arrest

Despite the settlement, fans will still likely tune in to hear Suge’s side of the Diddy incident. However, the mogul’s aforementioned Thanksgiving episode may prove to be equally explosive. For the first time, Suge plans to speak on the arrest of Duane “Keefe D” Davis, the former gang member who is currently on trial for the murder of 2Pac. Of course, Suge was sitting next to Pac when the rapper was fatally shot in a Vegas drive-by in 1997.

Suge has been revealing a lot of previously unknown knowledge on his podcast. Much of it relates to the work he did to aid Death Row rappers. However some of Suge’s stories been incredibly surprising. Earlier this month, Suge alleged that Deion Sanders had once been a secret member of Death Row. “I spent over half a million dollars of my own money. I put guys in the studio, I paid Dallas Austin, I did all these songs — did everything. Then one day he came to me and said, ‘Well, y’know, Prime deal with Nike and Death Row is a Black-owned company, and we don’t really want to deal with a Black-owned company,” Suge told The Daily Cannon.
