News: Suge Knight sues Kanye West!




All I have to say is wow. How the mighty have fallen. I mean this really just tells me how bad Suge must need money. I guess re-packaging the Chronic over and over again isnt working so well anymore.

According to Defsounds.com, Former Death Row Records owner, Suge Knight, is taking Kanye West to court for a shooting that happened at at Kanye’s pre-MTV Video Music Awards party at the Shore Club, located in Miami, in 2005.

Knight alleges that he not only suffered blood loss, but also lost a 15 karat diamond stud earring valued at $135,000, and had to take a private jet back to California. Rumors were abound that Knight may have accidentally shot himself, but witnesses said that there appeared to be 6 shots fired that night. A bone in Knight’s upper right leg was shattered as a result of the shooting and required surgery the same day he was shot.

The lawsuit which was filed on October 30th, claims West is culpable in the crime since the shooter was able to get past the party’s security with a deadly weapon. Damages being sought by Knight include mental anguish for “the loss of use and enjoyment of the earring.”

Even though Knight is currently under a bankrupt status, the courts have ruled that he will be able to keep a portion of money from this lawsuit, if he does win.
