Suge Knight: I’m Not Going To Celebrate Diddy’s Downfall

Screenshot 2024 04 29 at 10.00.49 AM

Despite their decades long feud which, according to rumor and reports may have costed several men their lives, former Death Row Records CEo Marion “Suge” Knight said that he would not kick Diddy while he’s down and surprisingly, he actually felt sympathy for the Bad Boy mogul in the new doc TMZ Presents: The Downfall of Diddy.

Suge says his thoughts went to Diddy’s kids and the negative impact the allegations have on hip-hop culture. He also says he’s not the type to revel in people’s downfalls, adding he’d rather end the beef with Diddy through conversation instead of rooting for the world to tear him down.

No one will ever forget when the beef between the two CEOs and their respective camps reached their height at the 1995 Source Awards when Knight said that if you want to be a star and don’t want your executive producer dancing in the videos, “Come to Death Row!”

tumblr poqrgltcYL1t1yehoo1 500

On this day in Hip-Hop history, Death Row Records, in conglomeration with Interscope Records, released the soundtrack to the popular film, Above the Rim. Winning the 1995 Source Award for Soundtrack of the Year, this album featured so many hits that it could have stood alone from the movie as a compilation album.

Acting as executive producers of the project, Suge Knight and Dr. Dre curated one of the most popular movie soundtracks of all time. This album featured artists 2Pac, Warren G, SWV, Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, The Lady of Rage, and more. Due to the popularity of the artists and the success of the movie, the soundtrack sold 2,000,000 copies in the year of its release and peaked at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart. Although it fell short on the mainstream chart, the album was able to grab hold of that #1 spot on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart. Here are some videos from the outstanding soundtrack to help jog your memory of its greatness.

Suge Knight Attacks Snoop Dogg Via X, Fans Are Investigating

23rd Annual American Music Awards

Suge Knight might not be free to roam the streets at the moment, but he still presents as a menacing figure even as he sits behind bars. The former Death Row Records honcho had choice words for his former signee, Snoop Dogg, and alleged that the rapper’s wife has been stepping out with other men among other jabs.

As spotted on X, formerly Twitter, Suge Knight took offense at Snoop Dogg replying to a Vl*dTV Instagram post suggesting that people pray for Knight after the outlet posted a story about the mogul taking shots at Diddy, Russell Simmons, Andre Harrell and Dr. Dre.

Knight then shared another video of Snoop talking brazenly with another man and threatening the fade, with Knight writing in the caption, “If you only could act like this when the camera rolling Snoop Dogg.”

However, the big haymaker of the series of tweets was Knight posting a picture reportedly featuring Snoop’s wife, Shante Broadus, allegedly on vacation in Hawaii with an unnamed man. Again, we’re not clear on the context of the image, we’re just reporting what was shared with the public.

We’ve scanned the online streets for a response from Snoop Dogg, but it appears he’s taking a higher road now. Some online are even saying that with Snoop now in the ownership of Knight’s former label, the beef stems from that.

In the midst of these tweets aimed at the Long Beach veteran, Suge Knight is also making wild claims about Steve Harvey and Diddy.

Check out reactions from X below.

[WATCH] Jadakiss Tells Story About Suge Knight Following Him Around L.A. For A Verse

Screenshot 2024 01 22 at 10.01.37 PM

On a recent episode of Wallo and Gillie’s A Million Dollaz Worth Of Game, D-Block front man Jadakiss was asked if he ever had any interaction with former Death Row CEO Suge Knight and his response was quite surprising. Al Qaeda Jada claimed that the incarcerated Compton record exec followed him around Los Angeles for a verse, but he contends that he wasn’t going to get extorted for one of his coveted sixteen bar verses.

Jada says that Knight had a “built-in” respect for him by default because of Ruff Ryders Ent. bosses Dee and Waah and added, “Suge knows about life. Real recognize real.” Jada went on to say, “there was a time where [Suge] was popping up everywhere,” which had the L.O.X. founding member wondering if Knight had someone following him while he was in the City of Angels.

Suge Knight is currently serving a 28-year prison term on a murder charge for the 2015 death of Terry Carter after Knight ran over Carter on the set of the N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton.

Today In Hip Hop History: Snoop Dogg Dropped ‘The Last Meal’ LP 23 Years Ago

tumblr 1146777f89eac4f98ed02e8a6d28959e 1b0db2f2 1280

On this date in 2000, West Coast rap giant Snoop Dogg released his fifth full-length studio album entitled The Last Meal, which was released on Master P’s Dirty South, independent powerhouse, No Limit Records, as well as the first album on Snoop’s Doggystyle Records. This album was released during the “dog days” of Death Row, with Snoop and Dre parting ways with their former boss and label owner Suge Knight. The album was leaked on the internet on December 1, 2000, by Suge Knight who made all tracks downloadable in MP3 from the official site of his and Snoop Dogg’s former company Death Row Records, which featured links to tracks from both Tha Last Meal and Dead Man Walkin’ albums, asking visitors to “take The Snoop Dogg Challenge” and decide “song for song” which is the better album.

There was some heavy production on the album, with tracks primarily from Dr. Dre and Master P, adding Timbaland and Soopafly to the unique flavor of this project as well. The most recognizable track from the album was “Lay Low” a melodic track featuring Butch Cassidy, The Outsidaz with Nate Dogg singing the hook and Dr. Dre behind the boards, capturing that original G-funk sound of the 213.

Salute to Snoop, Master P, Dre and the entire No Limit/Death Row teams who helps mold this timeless classic!

Suge Knight Releases Photo of Playing with Diddy's Son Justin Combs as a Baby

Suge Knight is taking his ever-present beef with Diddy to a new level. During a recent podcast episode, Suge Knight detailed his relationship with Misa Hylton, the mother of Diddy’s son, Justin Combs.

Knight would release an image playing with Justin during a time, aligning with the timeline for the East Coast-West Coast feud.

The latest entry in their decades-long saga comes less than a month after Cassie’s lawsuit revealed Diddy once planned to attack Knight once his secured team alerted him about the location of the Death Row leader at a local diner.

The court docs read, “For example, on one occasion when Mr. Combs and Ms. Ventura were using drugs together in his home, one of his security staff barged in and announced that Suge Knight—a longtime rival of Mr. Combs—was spotted at Mel’s Drive-In Diner in Los Angeles.

“Mr. Combs began to get dressed, retrieved multiple guns from a safe, and ran out of his home to where he believed Mr. Knight was dining. Ms. Ventura became terrified and began to cry.”

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.
