During a recent episode of his podcast, Suge Knight opened up about late Death Row Records artist Jewell, and made some pretty shocking claims. He told Collect Call With Suge Knight listeners how much effort and money he put into her. According to him, however, she failed to live up to the label’s expectations.
“Jewell never put an album out,” he explained. “She had a brand-new Volvo, she got a check every month, her bills was paid. I paid damn-near 200-and-something thousand dollars for the fat-people surgery to get sh*t cut out and sucked out.” Suge’s claims didn’t stop there, however. He went on to say that he’s gone out of his way to keep his artists far away from the long arm of the law, regardless of how serious their crimes were.
Suge Knight Claims He Spent $700K To Keep Jewell Out Of Prison
“Jewell killed a mothaf*cking man,” he alleged. “I paid $700,000 to make sure she didn’t do a day in prison.” Jewell’s not the only artist he says he paid to keep out of trouble. He went on to claim that Nate Dogg “robbed seven Taco Bells.” According to Suge, he paid a hefty price to ensure he stayed a free man. “He must’ve got 35 years,” he explained. “I paid half a million dollars to make sure he didn’t get no time.”
Suge Knight’s continued to make wild claims on his new podcast, also recently alleging that he took a gun charge for Dr. Dre. “I stopped Dre from getting a lot of time for beating up a gang of b*tches and all the sh*t he was doing that made me… you know,” he described. “I gave him the business manager number. The guy calls the business manager. The business manager wires the money for Dre’s guns to a guy who will give him the guns. A year or two later, on my birthday, they arrested me. The feds.” What do you think of Suge Knight’s recent wild claims about late Death Row Records artist Jewell?

For fans of 90s hip-hop, Collect Call With Suge Knight has been a revelation. The podcast is only two episodes into its run but there’s already been numerous major reveals. Much of it has had to do with Tupac, which makes sense with his alleged murderer’s trial currently occupying headlines this year. One of the first attention grabbing stories Suge told related to Tupac and Warren G. After Warren claimed he played a role in getting Pac out of prison, Suge refuted the story and claimed that the two never even liked each other in the first place.
In the recently released second episode, Suge once again spoke on the process of getting Pac out of prison. This time he revealed the identity of a mystery woman who called him every single day to advocate for Tupac. Her name is Keisha, and she played a crucial role in setting the events of Tupac’s career in motion. If it weren’t for Keisha, you guys wouldn’t have heard All Eyez On Me or all the other hits he did,” Suge says during the podcast. But his newest revelation is about another artist. Check out the newest episode of Collect Call below.
In the new episode, Suge discusses taking the fall for Dr. Dre. “I stopped Dre from getting a lot of time for beating up a gang of b*tches and all the shit he was doing that made me… you know,” he begins. “I gave him the business manager number. The guy calls the business manager. The business manager wires the money for Dre’s guns to a guy who will give him the guns. A year or two later, on my birthday, they arrested me. The feds.”
Ultimately while Suge had the option to let Dre face his own consequences, he ended up taking the fall. “I gave him the business manager number. The guy calls the business manager. The business manager wires the money for Dre’s guns to a guy who will give him the guns. A year or two later, on my birthday, they arrested me. The feds.” What do you think of Suge Knight taking the heat for Dr. Dre on a gun charge so he could keep making music? Let us know in the comment section below.

Suge Knight also claimed that Deion Sanders was once secretly part of Death Row Records. The revelation comes at a time when a massive amount of news has followed Sanders for months following his hiring to coach the University of Colorado football team. He also recently revealed the role he played in Snoop Dogg’s notorious murder trial. He claimed to take a behind-the-scenes approach to helping free the rap legend. Suge even went as far as to claim that without him Snoop would have faced life in prison. Check out the newest episode of his podcast below.
In the newest episode, Suge Knight discusses a woman who played a key role in reaching out to him to free Tupac from prison. “Only person [who] made it happen, to let me know to get ’Pac out of prison was a girl named Keisha. That is the baddest b*tch in the world. If it weren’t for Keisha, you guys wouldn’t have heard All Eyez On Me or all the other hits he did,” Suge explains.
He details Keisha calling his office almost every day trying to get the label exec’s help freeing Tupac. Eventually he caved and talked to her, which ultimately led to him visiting Tupac and beginning their legendary journey together. “Keisha made that happen,” Suge concluded at the end of the segment.

Suge Knight says that women are in control of the music industry at the moment. Speaking on the state of hip-hop during a recent episode of his new podcast, Collect Call, the Death Row Records co-founder shared heaps of praise for a number of younger female artists.
“I think the industry is controlled by the baddest b*tches in the world,” he began. “The females got that sh*t on lock and when you look at the women, they came such a long way and they’re really, really strong. They’re not in the shadows of a man; they’re leading the way. I think Cardi B is incredible. That’s probably one of the biggest stars in the industry and a great business woman that leads the way.” From there, he praised Doja Cat, Summer Walker, Lizzo, and SZA as well.

Knight also praised the women for their beauty, noting that they all look like “runway models.” Despite this, he clarified that he’s not trying to “holla at them.” “These new bitches so motherf*ckin’ pretty, the rappers and the singers and the people in the industry can’t wait to get on social media and say, ‘Look who I got! Look who I’m dating!’ That’s how bad these b*tches are and they don’t just sound good, they look good,” he continued. “And I ain’t on no weirdo sh*t. I’m content where I am with my age. I ain’t tryna holla at them or nothing like that. I just give them they motherf*ckin’ [flowers]. They the ones that run the industry.”

More importantly, Suge Knight plans to share his life experiences with the younger generation, both the highs and lows.

As an eyewitness to Tupac’s murder, Suge Knight holds critical information about the case that has intrigued fans for decades. However, Knight has categorically stated that he will not cooperate with prosecutors regarding the Tupac case. This resolute stance further deepens the mystery surrounding Shakur’s tragic murder.
However, recent developments in the Tupac Shakur case added a new layer of intrigue. Suspect Duane ‘Keefe D’ Davis, arrested on September 29, is a key figure in the case. However, Suge Knight has expressed his refusal to testify against Davis if called as a witness.
Davis’s arrest comes 27 years after the fatal shooting of Tupac Shakur, a crime that shook the hip-hop world. The murder occurred as the legendary rapper was leaving a Las Vegas Strip boxing match and was believed to be rooted in gang-related conflicts between two Compton-based gangs.
Suge Knight’s podcast, Collect Calls With Suge Knight, is set to be a captivating journey into hip-hop, coupled with personal revelations. While Suge Knight remains tight-lipped about the Tupac Shakur case, the recent arrest of a key suspect adds a layer of intrigue to an already enigmatic story. So, mark your calendars for Halloween in 2023, when Suge Knight’s voice from behind bars will resonate in the world of podcasting.
