Suge Knight To Address Diddy Feud On ‘Collect Calls With Suge Knight’

Suge Knight

Suge Knight is ready to speak out about the recent lawsuit allegations made by Cassie against Diddy on his new podcast, Collect Calls With Suge Knight. With a history dating back to the mid-’90s during the East Coast/West Coast rap wars, the former Death Row Records mastermind’s perspective will undoubtedly bring some insight into the ongoing feud.

Collecting The Facts With Suge Knight

Shortly after Cassie’s 35-page lawsuit against Diddy, it has been reported that Suge Knight is ready to speak out about the recent lawsuit allegations.

In the lawsuit, it was mentioned that Diddy once grabbed a bunch of guns to confront Knight. Knight plans to address this situation on his podcast, Collect Calls With Suge Knight. 

Knight’s podcast has become a platform where he tackles various controversial topics, and now he is focusing on the Cassie/Diddy situation. 

According to TMZ, the Diddy episode will be recorded after Knight drops his Keefe D episode on Thanksgiving Day. With these back-to-back episodes, Knight is determined to shed light on the allegations and provide his perspective.

Inside The Lawsuit

Cassie’s lawsuit against Diddy claims that one night, while they were at home, one of Diddy’s security staff burst into the room to inform him that Suge Knight had been spotted at Mel’s Drive-In Diner. 

Allegedly, Diddy immediately got dressed, retrieved multiple firearms from a safe, and ran out to confront Suge. This incident has further fueled the ongoing tension between the two rap moguls.

The history between Suge Knight and Diddy goes back to the mid-’90s, during the East Coast/West Coast rap wars. 

These conflicts resulted in the tragic deaths of Tupac Shakur and Biggie. With this history in mind, Suge Knight’s perspective on the Cassie/Diddy feud carries significant weight and may help provide a deeper understanding of the situation.

Cassie and Diddy Reach A Quick Settlement 

In relation to the lawsuit, Cassie, real name Casandra Ventura, alleged the Bad Boy artist of physical and sexual abuse throughout their decade-long relationship. 

The lawsuit, documented in a 35-page legal filing, detailed the alleged mistreatment Cassie endured. However, on Friday, Nov. 17, just nearly 24 hours after the public release of the legal document, Diddy and Cassie settled, leaving the civil lawsuit to end.

‘Collect Calls With Suge Knight’

Prior to the news, in Oct. 2023, Suge Knight teamed up with media company Breakbeat Media and its CEO to launch his podcast, Collect Calls with Suge Knight. Knight has plans to address other long-standing beef in this groundbreaking series with industry figures such as Akon, Master P, Snoop Dogg, and more. 

Keefe D May Have Confessed

In connection to legal woes and taboo topics, after a March 2023 interview with VLAD TV, Duane Keith “Keefe D” Davis had faced imminent charges in connection to Tupac’s 1996 Las Vegas shooting. It appeared Keefe admitted to assisting in shooting the late rapper.

2pac Once Got In A Screaming Match With Suge Knight Over $700k According To Music Video Director

Suge Knight and 2pac have both found themselves back in the headlines recently for very different reasons. In Tupac’s case, it’s because of the arrest of Keefe D for the rapper’s notorious murder. After frequently discussing his role in the case in various interviews, Keefe was finally arrested by Las Vegas police for his involvement in the rapper’s death almost 30 years ago.

In Suge Knight’s case, his newfound attention has been entirely on purpose. He recently started a new podcast called Collect Call With Suge Knight. Even though there’s only been two episodes so far they’ve both come with tons of fascinating revelations. In the first episode Suge refuted Warren G’s story that he played a role in freeing Pac from prison. In fact, he went even further to say that the two never liked each other in the first place. In the second episode he revealed the identity of a mystery woman who actually did play a major role in connecting Pac and Suge while the rapper was in prison. But now it’s somebody else entirely making revelations about the two.

He used the opportunity to refute Suge Knight and 2pac being as close as they seem. “A lot of people have said they were like brothers or whatever.

Rahimi even has a specific and detailed moment to reference. “‘Cause at one point, I remember hearing that 2Pac’s $700,000 check for acting in Gridlock’d had also gone to Suge. And ‘Pac was on the phone yelling and screaming ’bout, ‘Why the f*ck’s my movie money coming to you?’” he detailed.

On the latest episode of the Collect Call From Suge Knight podcast, the former Death Row Records CEO explains how he acquired illegal weapons for N.W.A. co-founder and music mogul Dr. Dre, but the said acquisition landed him behind bars on federal gun charges.

Suge talked about a convo with an unnamed person about getting guns for Dre and Snoop during the 1993 The Chronic Tour, saying, “I stopped Dre from getting a lot of time for beating up a gang of bitches and all the shit he was doing that made me… you know. My fed case is behind Dre. If I had to do it all over again I still would do it again because that’s the kind of man I am. The other person, I don’t keep it 1,000 and keep it gangsta because of the next muthafucka, I keep it because that’s my DNA.”

He continued, “So what ended up happening in that situation, a guy called me and said, ‘Hey, Dre want this type of gun. Snoop want this type of gun. Y’all getting ready to go on The Chronic Tour?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ [He said], ‘What kind you want?’ [I said], ‘I don’t need one.’ He adds, “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.”

“I go to court, David Kenner come and see me,” he said. “He shows me that, ‘Hey, [you] can get out, but Dre gon’ do the time, because his business manager is the one that got the money. He can do the time. He [inaudible] behind the shit.’ I said, ‘Fuck it, could you get him probation?’ David Kenner said, ‘Probably not.’ He said, ‘Maybe.’

“I said, ‘Tell you what: either try to get me probation, or if I gotta do a year or two, these muthafuckas better be in the studio working.’ So I got David Chesnoff out of Las Vegas representing me also because that’s where he was from. I got probation, which I end up doing time for that. Had nothing to do with me. So I don’t regret doing anything for people [I] fuck with, ’cause that’s what you supposed to do.”

Suge is currently doing a 28-year stretch for the 2015 murder of Terry Carter on the set of Straight Outta Compton. Knight will be eligible for parole in 2034.

Former Deathrow Records co-founder Marion “Suge” Knight alleges Deion Sanders never paid him back the $500,000 he invested in Sanders’ once aspiring rap career.

Back in the 1990’s Coach Prime– like many sports superstars wanted to get into the hip hop arena.. Sanders allegedly reached out to Knight who was a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.

“When Prime wanted to be a rapper, I spent over half a million dollars of my own money,” Knight told Nick Cannon in a jailhouse phone call that aired on his podcast, “The Daily Cannon.”

“I put guys in the studio, I paid [music producer] Dallas Austin, I did all these songs, did everything.

“Then one day he [Deion’s agent] came to me and said, ‘Well, Prime’s deal’s with Nike and Death Row is a Black-owned company, and we don’t really want to deal with a Black-owned company, even though you paid for everything. We signed to you, put us on the Interscope label brand.”

In 1994, Sanders signed with MC Hammer’s Bust It Records. In December of that year, he released his debut album Prime Time on Bust It Records/Capitol Records.

Sanders’ first single “Must Be The Money,” was his introduction into the music industry.

Today In Hip Hop History: Tupac Shakur’s First Posthumous Album ‘Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory’ Was Released 27 Years Ago

On this date in 1996, Tupac Amaru Shakur posthumously released the final album of his illustrious career.

26 years ago today, just two months after the untimely murder of Tupac on the Las Vegas strip alongside Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight, the fifth and final album, Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, was released. Recognized as ‘Pac’s most influential body of work, the Killuminati album was not only his most controversial, but its concept still has many of his fans believing that ‘Pac is still alive. Besides his beef with Nas, Jay-Z, B.I.G., and almost any relevant New York rapper you can think of, the album hinges on the life of Makaveli, a play on the name of Italian writer and philosopher Nicollo Machiavelli, who is believed to have staged his own death.

The album was originally set to be dropped in March of 1997, but after Shakur was killed, Death Row boss Suge Knight released the album four months later. Ironically, Brooklyn rap rival Notorious B.I.G. was shot down in Los Angeles, California on March 9, 1997.

The album, recorded in 12 days in August 1996, hosted a list of timeless, classic singles including “Hail Mary”, “Me And My Girlfriend” and “Against All Odds”; all of which were remade by premiere artists after Shakur’s death. The 5X platinum album has been listed as one of the top-selling Hip Hop albums of all time.
