Suge Knight Questions Diddy’s FBI Ties Amid Court Case

by

Suge Knight has more than a few words to say about the Diddy indictment, whether as a fellow music mogul or as someone who’s observed his moves for a long time. Moreover, he recently spoke to Chris Cuomo on News Nation about these allegations, speaking on the Bad Boy executive’s various industry ties, the other celebrities that support him, and speculation about his state of mind right now. However, another interesting part of the interview was when the Death Row boss theorized as to what resources Sean Combs could benefit from or have access to for his federal trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

“He’s not a dummy so he’s smart enough to work his magic,” Suge Knight said of Diddy. “On top of that, he’s been involved with the FBI for most of his career. He got powerful people. One of his partners who started his company with drug money, President Obama got him out of prison! So it’s not like he don’t have no moves. I don’t think nobody should just count him out. I don’t think he’s gonna lay down and curl in the corner and die. He’s probably going through a lot of withdrawals with the drugs [in jail].”

Still, one element that Suge Knight spoke on that wasn’t as relevant to the trial itself was Diddy’s placement on suicide watch. “I don’t wanna say he’s in danger and neither should he say that,” he posited. “Because once he gets to the point where they feel he’s gonna be suicidal… you don’t have the rights to nothing: no sock, no drawers, no T-shirt, no blanket, no sheets. You’re naked in a cell as a crazy man, so he definitely don’t wanna do that.”

Meanwhile, Suge Knight specifically called out various rap icons who he believes were fully aware of Diddy’s alleged crimes. “Facts is there,” he claimed. “Where we’re at now, I don’t care if it’s T.I., I don’t care if it’s Rick Ross, I don’t care if it’s Jay. I don’t care if it’s Snoop, I don’t care if it’s Game, I don’t care if it’s Dre. Nobody stepping up on the fact that you know what’s going on.”

Snoop Dogg Laughs Off Suge Knight’s “Secret Society” Claims About Him & Diddy

by

Once you make it to a certain level of fame, it won’t be long until a certain devil tempts you… with a chance to come up with Illuminati rumors about another famous person, that is. Moreover, conspiracy theories around secret societies and things of that nature have always been common in celebrity circles, whether it’s among themselves or from the outside looking in. When these pair up with legitimate accusations of wrongdoing (in this case, sexual assault), it makes for a pretty obfuscatory and confusing narrative. That’s what Suge Knight claimed on his Collect Call podcast during its latest episode, specifically accusing Snoop Dogg, Diddy, and Dr. Dre of being in a secret society.

“Once they start painting they fingernails and wearing women’s clothes, they got you,” Suge Knight said of Snoop Dogg and company. “I remember when they was giving Puffy an award at the ASCAP Awards. [Dre] 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.

“[The] Game bought Puffy a Lamborghini when Puffy got more money than Game,” Suge continued. “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.” After these remarks went viral, Snoop Dogg had a pretty unbothered answer.

Snoop Dogg’s Response

Snoop Dogg Suge Knight Secret Society Diddy Claims Response Hip Hop News

Commenting under AllHipHop‘s IG coverage of this, Tha Doggfather simply included a crying-laughing emoji and a shrug emoji. This is definitely not his first run-in with the former Death Row boss, and likely won’t be the last. But it seems like Snoop Dogg would rather save his energy for one of his more legitimate issues with Suge. On that note, come back to HNHH for more news and the latest updates on these artists.

Snoop Dogg & Suge Knight Clash Over Affair Claims About Russell Simmons

by

Suge Knight, as usual, made some wild claims on his podcast Collect Call, and for its Monday episode (February 5), they had to do with an alleged romantic entanglement between Def Jam label boss Russell Simmons and his counterpart at Uptown Records, the late Andre Harrell. “Everybody know,” he remarked during the episode. “They might not wanna say it, [but] they know they was lovers. They participated in those types of things. Now, once again, a person has the right to be whatever they wanna be. But own it! These men in the industry don’t consider theyself gay. They consider themselves messing with women, but they really don’t like the women because they beat the s**t out of them.

“And they just believe that they’re having fun with each other,” Suge Knight continued. “So when you take Andre Harrell and Russell Simmons, Uptown, Def Jam -– freaky s**t.” Of course, many folks reacted wildly to this speculation, whereas others took more issue with it and believe he’s going through something. Someone in the latter camp was Suge’s former Death Row partner Snoop Dogg, given that the two have clashed a lot in the past. “Smh I’m praying for that brother that he finds peace,” the West Coast rapper commented under coverage of these claims.

Suge Knight Responds To Snoop Dogg

Clearly, Suge Knight did not take well at all to Snoop Dogg’s comments, as he responded angrily on Twitter on Wednesday (February 7). “Show the agreement or proof of payment and I’ll shut up!!! Bet you can’t!!! #Deathrow #snoopdogg,” he let out at first. “If you only could act like this when the camera rolling Snoop Dogg!!! #snoopdogg #underdogg #fakecrip,” the incarcerated record executive captioned what seems like a comedy skit on the social media platform. “You pray for me Snoop Dogg!!! Okay I’ll pray your wife stop going to Hawaii with other men!!!! #snoopdog #bosslady,” he wrote as one final diss against Tha Doggfather.

More Suge Tweets

Meanwhile, we can’t imagine that this exchange will provoke any sort of reconciliation between them. Both of them owned Death Row Records at different eras in their career, and what love they had for each other seems to have gone away for the most part. Hopefully someone else can clarify these stories for us, and Suge in particular can understand why Snoop is concerned for them. On that note, stick around on HNHH for more news and updates on Snoop Dogg and Suge Knight.

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

by

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 Hacked On Social Media Accounts, He Claims

by

Suge Knight recently spoke to TMZ about his wild social media activity as of late, and came through with an explanation. While he claimed to have control of his Instagram account during his 28-year prison sentence, he said that someone hacked his Facebook and Twitter accounts. Moreover, the Death Row boss believes that this impostor “is out to destroy his reputation by hacking into his Twitter and FB accounts.” Overall, he can’t really identify why as of yet– if this is to be believed– but one could imagine that someone just wants to see him involved in a lot more drama than he is right now.

Furthermore, these social media posts on other accounts have started to take shots at other artists on the Row and other rap rivals. For example, one Twitter post included a picture of Suge Knight allegedly playing with Diddy’s son Justin Combs at the height of the East Coast and West Coast beef. Another is a snapshot of Snoop Dogg in a neck brace with the caption “@SnoopDogg if I didn’t have security on him in 1995.” According to the outlet, he wants to lock or fully delete these accounts altogether, for which he and his team are fighting to secure access.

Meanwhile, we know that Suge Knight’s never been shy about speaking his mind, so for him to say that his statements were hacked is a big thing to clarify. Via the Collect Call podcast, there have been so many instances of absurd tales, hefty accusations, and a lot of double take moments. One of his most recent claims had to do with Jimmy Iovine, the head on Interscope Records, and Tupac’s mother Afeni Shakur. Apparently, they fought over the rest of ‘Pac’s music, and then Interscope tried to turn her against the California executive over her son’s death.

With that in mind, what do you think about these recent claims concerning these social media accounts? Did these posts seem fishy to you from the get-go or is Suge just trying to cover up his usual antics? However you may feel, drop your thoughts in the comments section down below. Also, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Suge Knight.

Suge Knight Says Eazy-E’s Widow Fumbled Millions Of Dollars In Poor Dr. Dre Deal

by

Suge Knight’s recent episode of the Collect Call podcast, which aired on Sunday (November 19), is adding salt to a wound. Moreover, he targeted Eazy-E’s widow for fumbling a deal that the Death Row executive landed with Dr. Dre that would’ve set up the late rapper and his family for generational wealth. By giving up some profits to Suge, Eazy allegedly could get a share of all of the West Coast producer’s earnings, no matter the industry. During his conversation with The Source magazine co-founder Dave Mays, he explained that this was a billion-dollar opportunity given Dre’s continued massive success throughout his career.

“I did a deal for [Eazy],” Suge Knight’s comments on the whole situation began. “He gets a dollar off of anything that Dre does. In other words, [that’s] if he do a movie, if he do a beat, [or] if he promote some type of merchandise. If he do a commercial, if he produce… Off of his part, [Eazy] gets a dollar.” Then, the incarcerated and notorious music figure explained that Eazy-E’s widow, Tomica Woods-Wright, assumed control of his estate after his untimely passing in March of 1995.

“Tomica met with Interscope,” Suge Knight further alleged. “Interscope said, ‘Hey, why you want to get a dollar off of everything Dre does? Me and you could do business later on. Sign off and just let Dre out of it. We’re gonna do business later.’ She signed off. They ain’t did no business with that b***h later. And guess what? That f***ed Eazy’s kids, his momma, at the time his father was still living. It’s f***ed his family.” Given how complex and elaborate this deal seems, it’s unclear if we’ll ever really understand the implications of this claim.

In fact, Eazy-E had previously spoken to Arsenio Hall in 1993 about a similar arrangement, which interestingly coincided with his beef with N.W.A. As such, anything Dre did went right back to Eazy. “Basically, I had Dre signed as exclusive producer and an exclusive artist,” he explained. “So when Dre tried to make his deal over at Interscope, I was included for the next six years.” For more news and the latest updates on Dr. Dre, Suge Knight, and the late and great Eazy-E, stay logged into HNHH.

Akon Will Sue Suge Knight For Defamation Amid Assault Claims, He States

by

Suge Knight ruffled a lot of industry feathers on his Collect Calls podcast when he accused Akon of assaulting a 13-year-old girl. Moreover, according to the Death Row boss, his producer Detail also assaulted the alleged victim’s 12-year-old sister, and these are overall horrifying claims. The 50-year-old, however, denied all of these outright, and it now looks like this will be a much more contentious case moving forward. Furthermore, in a new statement to Complex, he revealed plans to sue the music executive for defamation. As of writing this article, he hasn’t responded to this lawsuit, although we’re sure that it won’t be the prettiest situation either way.

“I need to make it very clear that I absolutely deny these outrageous false and disgusting claims Suge Knight made on his podcast about me,” Akon shared. “I never called, received [a call], or had any contact with Suge Knight since he [went to prison]. My voice you heard on his podcast was a soundbite previously recorded from an interview I did with DJ Vlad 3 years ago regarding Suge Knight in 2009. I’ve never been a guest on Suge Knight’s podcast.

“I always believe in building positivity into the world and my actions and legacy have spoken to that,” Akon continued. “It’s unfortunate that I have to defend myself from these lies and I will be involving my legal team in filing a defamation lawsuit against Mr. Knight, my prayers for him will still continue.” Previously, this is what the Senegalese-American artist had to say about these allegations on Twitter. “The world knows a lie when they hear it,” he shared. “It’s unfortunate that this man is going out like this. It’s sad and seriously embarrassing. Regardless of our history, I’m still going to be praying for him.”

Meanwhile, these accusations unfortunately don’t have the best context. After all, the “Smack That” hitmaker recently flexed about having multiple wives, and involved himself in his fair share of other controversies. The same is true for Suge, of course, but with this new legal parameter, we’ll see whether this results in accountability and justice for the alleged victims.

Suge Knight’s Praise For NBA YoungBoy: “He Marches To His Own Beat”

by

NBA YoungBoy remains a very polarizing figure in rap, with possibly its most ardent fanbase but with the most amount of haters, too. Moreover, he feels like even companies like YouTube often blackball him and undercut his success and outreach, and even with those crutches, he’s made an undeniable impact with listeners and the industry alike. However, the Baton Rouge MC is not exactly an underdog story in the eyes of the media, as he seems more combative against the industry than eager to step in it. Still, he has a lot of people that really connect with him in that space, including one Suge Knight. During a recent episode of his new prison podcast, he gave the young Don’t Try This At Home artist his flowers- or rather, his cigars.

“But you still got people still in the game doing well,” the Death Row Records boss began. “And they deserve their cigars. you know? It’s just like… NBA YoungBoy. Man, I like that lil’ young motherf***er. He deserves his cigar. He talk s**t, he about that life. You know, he march to his own motherf***ing beat, you know?”

Suge Knight Speaks On NBA YoungBoy: Listen

Even if you’re not a fan of YB’s style, output, antics, or persona, you can’t deny that Suge is pretty spot-on with his assessment. YoungBoy is an incredibly prolific and self-motivated artist whose discography represents a consistent grind and a hard-working mentality. Sure, he doesn’t always draw from his own style, as he hopped on the rage wave recently. In addition, the 24-year-old has one more album left for this year (his fourth), so maybe that will change this conversation of influences. Regardless of what different worlds he might occupy with different material, it’s clear that everything is of his own design.

Meanwhile, the “Now Who” spitter’s aversion to industry figures and longstanding beefs also speak to this. He usually doesn’t translate very well to to the old heads, so props to Suge for staying tapped in. Maybe this will change one day, but it’s because YB’s status is reaching true star levels within the game all on his own.

Kurupt Left Death Row Because Tupac Died Under Suge Knight’s Watch

by

One of hip-hop’s most fascinating and successful labels is tragically one of its most dangerous in the genre’s history. Kurupt recently revealed that he left Death Row Records because Tupac Shakur died under Suge Knight’s watch. Moreover, he made such statements during an interview with The Art Of Dialogue and spoke candidly of his experience. Furthermore, he said that when he requested to terminate his contract, he felt how worn-down Death Row artists were due to the similarities between the label and street life. After years of apparent invincibility, it became to much to bear for the “C-Walk” rapper.

“Everywhere we was going we had to keep our eyes open, 10 toes on the ground,” the Philly-born artist expressed. “We had to stay heated and make sure that we protected ourselves. And then to go to Death Row and feel the same way as when we in the streets: we all kinda got burnt on that.” Moreover, he also spoke on how Dr. Dre leaving the collective gave him a lead to follow. His group mates Snoop Dogg, Daz Dillinger, and Soopafly were still signed to the label after Dre left, and Suge’s presence could no longer assure their safety.

Kurupt Speaks On How Tupac’s Death Under Suge Knight Affected Him

“We all was a little tired of walking on egg shells,” he continued. “Because if we gon be here and it feels the same was as being on the streets, then whats the difference? If a n***a gotta come to the studio heated, what’s the difference? Dr. Dre set up the woo-wop, like, ‘It can be done, you can leave.’ When I saw Dr. Dre do that, then 2Pac died, that was the final straw for me. N***as is getting shot even with Suge. Now that is it.

“Crippin’ and Bloodin’ is real!” he concluded. “This ain’t no joke. This s**t ain’t to play with, this ain’t something you just kick around. Once you in, you in for life; you gotta ride it out homie. And 2Pac is militant! He’s not a gang member. He’s from a Black Panther background, a whole ‘nother background. It’s just not healthy for him. A lot of us gangbang ’cause we wanted to; and a lot of us gangbang ’cause we had to. We lived there; we had to protect our community, you know.” Regardless, let us know your take in the comments and come back to HNHH for the latest on Kurupt, Tupac, Suge Knight, and Death Row.

Keith Murray Claims He Saw Suge Knight Slap Diddy

by

After so many years of history, rappers took it upon themselves to share the genre’s tales with as much vigor and vividness as possible. At least, that seems to be the mission for Keith Murray, who gave an animated account of the time when Suge Knight allegedly slapped Diddy. Moreover, the New York rapper sat down for an interview with The Art of Dialogue where he made such claims. Moreover, it’s not his first claim regarding Bad Boy Records.

“Yo, I got a story to tell you!” he exclaimed to the interviewer. “One time, we was at Platinum House… Suge was there, I was there, Puffy was there, and we was all partying and chilling and stuff, right? It got late and the night dispersed. Then all of a sudden, outside… I walk up, and then I notice ‘Yo, there’s a f**king dead body right there in front of the Platinum House!’

“Wait, it wasn’t a dead body,” he went on to clarify. “It was a story. But it was Puffy and Suge. Suge was like ‘You, you all right?’ Puffy was there Then all of a sudden I saw Suge…” and Murray exclaimed and made an energetic slap motion, “smack the dogs**t out of Puffy. I’m like ‘Oh, s**t! This is crazy!’

“Puffy paused, looked at me like, ‘Yo, that’s what I get for being too nice,’” he concluded.

Furthermore, he had some more details about the incident. According to Murray, one of Suge’s friends had recently died. Despite the slight seriousness of the story, the 48-year-old gave a very expressive and animated account. “[Suge] brought it from left field down south of Georgia on Puffy,” he said.

Meanwhile, Murray recently turned heads on social media for his wild interviews and claims. Recently, he shocked Twitter with tales of his sexual exploits allegedly involving Shawnna and Foxy Brown. Moreover, Shawnna said that he needs help and clapped back at his stories.

What do you think of Keith Murray’s tales of Suge Knight, Diddy, and his other crazy confessions? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, come back to HNHH for more hip-hop antics and interview highlights.
