Suge Knight’s Son Salutes Chris Rock’s Joke: ‘We All Know Suge Knight as That Guy’

Suge Knight’s Son Salutes Chris Rock’s Joke: ‘We All Know Suge Knight as That Guy'

Chris Rock’s Selective Outrage special featured a portion of jokes targeting Will Smith. One of which compared Smith to Death Row Records frontman Suge Knight, dubbing the Oscar-winning actor “Suge Smith.”

Speaking on TMZ, Suge’s son, Suge J. Knight, thinks it’s cool to hear his dad’s name remains in popular culture.

“We all know Suge Knight as that guy who’s all about that action. Whatever he does, he going to do that. It’s funny to see that Suge has been in jail for a minute but he still has this legendary status. It’s just dope.”

Knight’s son stated his dad would enjoy the joke but recognize they aren’t like him. Ultimately, he overall wasn’t thrilled by the special. You can hear it from him below.

Tokyo Toni Speaks on Daughter Blac Chyna's GRAMMYs Look: 'It Was Terrible'

Blac Chyn’a mom, Tokyo Toni, is shading her daughter’s Grammy fit. Chyna hit the Grammys in Black and feathers and Toni is wondering why.

“I text Chyna this morning when I found out and saw it,” Toni said. “I asked what in the H is this. Who are you trying to not impress? And was this the guy that lives with you, because this looks like his style.”

She added, “It may have been a little mean, but it was deserved.”

In short, “It was terrible.”

Toni stated she rather saw her daughter in a nice gold dress with some blonde hair.

“The guy that lives with you” is a reference to Twin Hector, Chyna’s new boyfriend. You can see him below.

Kanye West Marries Yeezy Architect Bianca Censori In Private Wedding Ceremony

'Drink Champs' Episode Featuring Kanye West Pulled From YouTube as N.O.R.E. Offers Apologies

Kanye has been extremely quiet since he was “canceled” in November for his anti-Semitic remarks and praise for Hitler and the Nazis. Ye ducked off for a while, even his business partner was having trouble locating the rapper/fashion designer. However, it was recently discovered that Ye had gotten re-married, and was even spotted with a wedding ring and with his new wife at a restaurant.

According to sources close to TMZ, the mystery blonde woman is Bianca Censori, the head of architecture for Yeezy. Censori and Kanye reportedly got married in a private ceremony, even though it doesn’t look like they’ve filed a wedding certificate to make it official.

Ye and Censori were spotted at the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills earlier this week where they caught pictures of Ye with a ring on his finger.

Last month, Ye dropped a song on Instagram called “Censori Overload” where he rapped about his current state and his finalized divorce from Kim Kardashian. The song was taken down by Instagram and his account was suspended due to hate speech most likely due to the use of a sound bite from the Alex Jones alt-right show Infowars and his reference to his “death com 3” tweet that began his spiral downward.

Lawyer David Kenner Denies Representing Suge Knight In Hit-and-Run Case After Being Hired By Tory Lanez

Screen Shot 2023 01 10 at 11.03.28 PM

As previously reported, recently convicted rapper Tory Lanez has hired renowned criminal defense attorney David Kenner, the lawyer who famously represented the Death Row roster, to argue his case while in the appellate phase of his case. Even there are several pictures that contradict Kenner’s new claim, but he contends that he never represented Suge Knight in the hit-and-run case that killed Terry Carter and sent him to prison for 28 years.

Law & Crime reporter Meghann Cuniff broke the news about Lanez hiring Kenner and simultaneously touched on the fact that Kenner did not represent Knight in his hit-and-run case, but in a a robbery case in which the former Death Row CEO received probation.

Lanez appeal has yet to be scheduled, but with kenner’s track record and the controversy surrounding his trial, there’s a possibility that Lanez could be out of jail sooner than expected.

Meek Mill Apologizes For Ringside Altercation At Gervonta Davis Fight: “I Just Gotta Step My Response Game Up!”

Meek Mill August 11 2022 1

On Saturday, January 7th, Gervonta Davis fought Hector Garcia to defend his WBA lightweight title. Halfway during the 8th round, a ringside altercation between Meek Mill and pro-fighter Garry Russell Jr. caught the attention of both fighters, causing the fight to stop for a brief moment.

Meek and Garry were escorted out of the arena, and Meek would later take to Twitter to say that he and the pro fighter almost got into a fight, and apologized for the incident.

“Congratulations tankkk!!!,” he wrote referring to Gervonta Davis. “I almost fought a boxer telling him this fight not going 12 rounds I missed the big bomb!!!!”

In a string of other tweets, Meek continued sharing his side of the story, saying that he would “never let no petty shit escalate,” and saying that the blogs put up the video of the altercation of him reacting aggressively to Garry Russell Jr., saying something aggressive to him.

“I would never let no petty shit escalate to let somebody movie run …. I just walked away .. I came to support tank and boots!!!!!! Good wins,” Meek tweeted.

“I was nice to everybody at that fight if you was there you saw! The blogs gone put up the aggressive part after I respond to something aggressive … everybody in that section seen my level of respect towards others… i just gotta step my response game up!”

He then apologized for his actions, which he called “wasting time for nothing.”

“I have no business going back and forth that hard with a random person and we just talking about sports…so my apologies for wasting time for nothing! I had a few shots I know how to dodge those! Congrats Tank and boots!!!”

Despite the disruption, Gervonta would go on to win the fight in a 9th-round TKO, after Garcia’s side said that he would not be continuing the fight. Garcia said he got hit so hard he couldn’t see.

The SOURCE is Wondering, “Where’s The Album At?”

S5

Artists tend to go years without dropping a project. We understand that artists are people, too, with lives, responsibilities, and things outside of music that need their attention. But sometimes the wait in between albums can get too long, resulting in fans asking their favorite artists, “where’s the album at?” This list explores the artists that fans are wondering when their next album is coming.

1. Rihanna

Year of Last Album: 2016

The last time Rihanna dropped an album, Obama was president. It’s been 6, nearly seven years since we have gotten a Rihanna album. Despite not having dropped music in years, Rihanna has managed to stay in the spotlight as a businesswoman. Since 2016 she has immensely grown her Fenty brand and, earlier this year, gave birth to her son with longtime love interest ASAP Rocky. She released a track for the Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever movie and was even photographed leaving the studio, leaving many to believe that new music is on the way. 

2. Frank Ocean

Year of Last Album: 2016

Much like Rihanna, the last time Frank Ocean dropped an album, Obama was president. Nearly seven years after dropping the critically acclaimed Blonde, Frank Ocean has only been in the news a handful of times. He has teased a few songs here and there; he started his Blonded Radio in 2017, revealed his fashion project Homer in August of 2021, and released a 9-minute piece on Blonded Radio on Christmas Day 2021. Much like Rihanna, no other two people on this list could only drop two projects in the last decade and still hold this much musical relevancy. 

3. PartyNextDoor

Year of Last Album: 2020

PartyNextDoor released his last album just a couple of years ago as the entire world began to quarantine due to the outbreak of COVID-19. Partymobile was released to mixed reviews, but who is to say the reception wouldn’t have been better if people were outside and could enjoy the album? Regardless, die-hard PND fans eagerly await the Canada native’s next project or hit song. 

4. Cardi B

Year of Last Album: 2018

Artists around the world should study Cardi B’s meteoric rise to success. Shortly after the release of “Bodak Yellow,” Cardi skyrocketed and became one of the hottest rappers. In February 2018, she and her label decided to capitalize on that success and drop one of that year’s best and biggest albums, earning her numerous Grammy nominations and a win for Best Rap Album. Since then, she has released several singles, including “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion and “Up,” which debuted at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. While she has not released another album in 5 years, Cardi has become a household name and an icon in the culture. But still, where’s the album at?

5. Nicki Minaj

Year of Last Album: 2018

Nicki Minaj, along with a couple of names on this list, seems to be the only artist actually about to drop an album. The only question is, “when?” Nicki started the year off, fresh from a social media hiatus, with “Do We Have A Problem?” featuring Lil Baby. This was followed up with “Bussin,” featuring Baby, and “We Go Up,” featuring Fivio Foreign. Later in the year, she collapsed with Coi Leray for “Blick Blick” and would go on to release Dr. Luke’s produced “Super Freaky Girl,” which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was frequently used on TikTok. 

6. Polo G

Year Of Last Album: 2021

Polo G has been relatively quiet since he released his 2021 album Hall Of Fame, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 200, and his single “Rapstar,” which became his first #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100. His silence, however, has many people speculating that the Chicago native has big up his sleeve for 2023. Watch out.

7. City Girls

Year Of Last Album: 2020

City Girls became prominent in 2018 after being featured in Drake’s “In My Feelings” music video. Shortly after, they were signed to Quality Control and dropped their debut album, Girl Code, which spawned the single “Act Up.” Their 2020 follow-up album did not hit quite as hard as the first, maybe because it was leaked the day before it was set to release and was released just a couple of months after the beginning of the pandemic. Self-proclaimed city girls worldwide couldn’t enjoy the album as they would have under different circumstances, which begs the question, will JT and Caresha come back and drop an album to have summer 2023 on lock?

8. Swae Lee

Year of Last Album: 2018

It has been nearly five years since the release of SR3MM, the triple disc album that included S3RMM, Swae Lee’s debut studio album Swaecation, and Slim Jxmmi’s Jxmtro. Out of the three albums, critics were more drawn to Swaecation, leading many to want Swae Lee to continue to drop solo projects. While the brothers are still planning to drop Sremm4Life and release three accompanying singles in 2022, many expect Swae Lee to drop another solo project. 

9. Schoolboy Q

Year of Last Album: 2019

Schoolboy Q has been extremely quiet since the release of his 2019 album Crash Talk, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard Hot 200. In 2022, he released a single, “Soccer Dad,” and even starred in a Tiger Woods Nike commercial. However, now that the TDE roster has dropped, it is time for Schoolboy to fall. 

10. Trippie Redd

Year of Last Album: 2021
Trippie Redd has been extremely quiet in 2022 since the release of his 2021 album Trip At Knight, which featured Playboi Carti, Lil Uzi Vert, Drake, and others. Despite his silence, Redd signed a 30 million dollar deal with 10k Projects. With this new deal, he will have music coming out very soon.
