Chris Brown Sued By Jailbird Suge Knight Over Club Shooting

Chris Brown

 

Troubled singer, Chris Brown, has been sued by incarcerated former Death Row Records CEO, Marion "Suge" Knight, over a 2014 shooting that occurred in Los Angeles at the 1Oak night club. Knight was shot six times during the incident, but refused to cooperate with police investigating the matter. On Monday, cash strapped Knight filed a lawsuit against multi-millionaire Brown, 1Oak and singer Pia Mia Perez, who co-hosted the pre-VMA party at the night club. 

Knight, member of the Blood Piru street gang in Los Angeles, hypocritically alleges in his lawsuit that Brown is, "A known gang associate with a history of violence and had a well documented track record of hosting events and or parties in which violence frequently erupted." However, this point can be invalidated in court, as there is also a history of violence regarding Knight, who was shot in a night club before, during a Miami, Florida party hosted by rapper Kanye West. Remember, when Knight was uninvited, showed up at the club and got shot in the butt.

Brown's lawyer can easily and credibly argue Knight is a violence magnet. Knight is after all accused of murdering a Los Angeles police officer who was dating his wife during their separation. Knight is also on trial for murder in a hit and run that saw him deliberately run over two people out of rage regarding the "Straight Outta Compton" film he did not want to be included in.

While it is believed Brown was the target of the 1Oak club shooting, it will be difficult for Knight to find anyone to go on record stating what people in the industry already know. There have been attempts at killing Brown, which resulted in injuries to others. Being a constant target of the Kabbalah Center has turned Brown into a paranoid schizophrenic.  

Knight is demanding Brown pay all past and future medical bills in association with his injuries from the shooting. He is also leaving it to the discretion of a jury and the court to decide how much money he should be awarded in the case. At the end of the day, this lawsuit is really rich coming from Suge. Knight is the man who caused the terrible East Coast v. West Coast rivalry in the 1990s, where dozens of people in America died in senseless acts of violence, including the late rappers Tupac and Notorious B.I.G.

Knight is also on trial for murder, in a case where there is video evidence of the gruesome crime. Knight's criminal history will likely give any civil jury pause. He is likely looking for a quick settlement from Brown, 1Oak and Pia Mia, though he is a walking target himself, due to the crimes he has committed against others.

Suge Knight sues Chris Brown over shooting

Updated 9:36 AM ET, Tue June 28, 2016 - Knight is currently incarcerated and charged with murder. In 2010 he filed a similar suit against Kanye West. Imprisoned former rap mogul Suge Knight is blaming singer Chris Brown and a West Hollywood nightclub for a 2014 shooting which left him wounded. Knight filed suit Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court against Brown, fellow singer Pia Mia Perez and the owners of 1 Oak nightclub. He's alleging they failed to provide adequate security at a celebrity-filled party Brown co-hosted with Perez on the eve of the MTV Video Music Awards in August 2014...

Tupac's Mother Afeni Shakur Passes Away During Legal Battle Over His Estate

Afeni Shakur
 

The mother of the late rapper, Tupac Shakur, passed away on May 2, 2016. Afeni Shakur, born Alice Faye Williams, had a suspected heart attack in her Sausalito, California home. She was transported to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead an hour later. Shakur was 69-years-old. In her youth, Shakur was a member of the Black Panther party. Shakur and other members of the Black Panthers were incarcerated for plotting to bomb landmarks. Shakur was acquitted while in jail and gave birth to Tupac one month later. 

Tupac was killed in a drive by shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada at the age of 25. The rapper left behind a sizeable catalog of unreleased music. His mother fought Death Row Records in court, for control of his music and the $20,000,000 in royalties owed to his estate. Wrestling control of Tupac's estate was not easy for his mother. There were threats from parties at Death Row, as the label's CEO, Suge Knight, has repeatedly ripped off artists in well documented incidents, via using strong arm tactics and violence. 

Tupac Shakur
 

In 1997 Vanity Fair published an article stating Knight was funneling money from Tupac's sales and royalties to the Italian-American mafia, namely the Genovese crime family and the rapper resented the theft of his funds (he was killed while initiating proceedings to leave Death Row Records). Similar claims were made about Tupac's rival, the Notorious B.I.G. (Christopher Wallace), having being approached by the Genovese mafia. The U.S. entertainment industry is run by organized crime and deranged cults. 

Shakur later won her case and Death Row was forced to fork over unreleased Tupac songs and the royalties owed. Afeni Shakur has since released eight Tupac albums on the label she named Amaru, which is the rapper's middle name. She has also executive produced a Broadway play about Tupac and a forthcoming biopic that recently wrapped shooting. 

 

Tupac Shakur
 

The company Knight once bragged about on television as having grossed $1 billion dollars, had spectacularly fallen by 2007. The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) moved in on Knight for tax evasion. Knight hired an attorney to file for bankruptcy on behalf of Death Row Records. All assets were seized and liquidated to pay off the company's debts. Knight also lost his mansion to foreclosure. He is currently incarcerated, while on trial for murder and attempted murder, after stalking the cast and crew of the 2015 movie "Straight Outta Compton."   

Shakur was embroiled in a messy, acrimonious divorce when she died that was filed in North Carolina, though she lived in California, where martial assets are community property (split in half). Her husband of 12-years, Gust Davis, was demanding $10,000 per month, which is half of the income she receives from her role in Tupac's estate. Most of the money from the Tupac estate, which makes an estimated $900,000 per year, has been going to the charity foundation Shakur created in Tupac's memory.

Her husband was also inexcusably demanding half of Tupac's songs. Overall, he demanded half of Tupac's estate in divorce papers (houseboats, 50 acre North Carolina ranch, millions in cash, $10,000 per month for life and his Jaguar). They had no prenuptial agreement. Now she's dead. People in the entertainment industry with valuable copyrights have been passing away at a frequent rate.   

Tupac has a sister, Sekyiwa Shakur, who has two children. Tupac's sister should be the one to inherit his estate that was passed to their mother upon his death. She would do a better job regarding his legacy, as the conduct her stepfather has been exhibiting is and was not in the best interest of her mother.

Judge Refuses To Dismiss Murder Charges Against Suge Knight

It's time for Suge Knight to face the music

Los Angeles judge, Stephen A. Marcus, has rightly refused to dismiss attempted murder and murder charges against former Death Row Records CEO, Marion “Suge” Knight, after the Bloods street gang member deliberately ran over two people during a heated argument over the forthcoming film “Straight Outta Compton.” One victim died and the other survived with serious injuries. Plainly put Judge Marcus stated, “The only person who had a motive was Suge Knight.” Indeed.

Knight has been incensed over the rumored portrayal of him in the film “Straight Outta Compton” that charts the rise and fall of gangster rap group N.W.A. (Nig*az With Attitude) and kept showing up on the set uninvited, making threats and causing chaos. Knight engaged in criminal behavior against founding N.W.A. member, Eric “Eazy E” Wright, who was also the CEO of the label the group was signed to, Ruthless Records. Knight threatened Eazy E and others on staff with weapons, in forcing them to release N.W.A. member and music producer Dr. Dre (Andre Young) from his contract. Wright later died young from A.I.D.S., due to sexual promiscuity with various women, which he sadly bragged about.

Members of NWA and the cast and crew of forthcoming biopic "Straight Outta Compton"

Knight and Dr. Dre went on to start gangster rap label Death Row Records, whose biggest signing was the late rapper, Tupac Skakur, who was murdered in a drive by shooting many believe Knight had a hand in orchestrating. Police investigators also believe Knight had a hand in the murder of Tupac’s musical rival, rapper, the Notorious B.I.G. (Christopher Wallace).

For years Knight has been known in the music industry for his strong arm tactics, which include murder, attempted murder, assault, battery, grand theft larceny, burglary, racketeering, conspiracy, collusion and conversion. Sadly, Knight has repeatedly shown he is a danger to the public who refuses to be reformed. Knight must do better to this and like any man should answer for his crimes in a court of law.

Suge Knight Charged In Court With Murder Then Is Rushed To Hospital From The Holding Cell Complaining Of Chest Pains

Suge Knight

Former Death Row Records CEO Marion “Suge” Knight has been charged with murder in the vehicular homicide of actor Terry Carter. Knight has also been charged with attempted murder in also striking film crew member Cle “Bone” Sloan with his truck. Knight, who is on probation, faces life in prison. When the charges were announced, it had a bad effect on Knight. While in the holding cell, he began complaining of chest pains and was rushed to the hospital. A few months ago Knight was rushed to the hospital from jail, after developing a blood clot in his lung.

Knight stalked the set of the forthcoming film “Straight Outta Compton” chronicling the life of gangster rap group NWA. Fearing he would be negatively portrayed for the role he played in the life of NWA member, Dr. Dre, Knight began threatening and intimidating film crew members.

After stalking the crew to a nearby burger joint, Knight confronted them in the parking lot of Tam’s burgers. Knight has stated he was attacked as he sat in his truck, then fled the scene, fearing for his life. However, witnesses dispute his claims and with Knight’s extensive history as an aggressor, who has engaged in brutal acts of violence, including murder, it is going to be a tough sell to any jury. Knight needs to pay his debt to society and seek forgiveness.

Suge Knight Had Confrontation With Dr. Dre Before Vehicular Homicide Where He Ran Over The Victim's Head With His Truck

Suge Knight

As reported yesterday on the Judiciary Report, rapper/producer Dr. Dre and former Death Row Records CEO, Marion "Suge" Knight, were having a private dispute over the forthcoming film "Straight Outta Compton" which chronicles the life of the 1980s gangster rap group. Today, TMZ is reporting Dr. Dre had Suge thrown off the movie set on Thursday, January 31, 2015, after he got into a confrontation with security. 

As reported on the Judiciary Report yesterday, Suge has been very concerned over how he is being portrayed in the film, after his violent, threatening conduct over the years towards Ruthless Records founder, the late Eazy E, its former music executive, Terry Heller, as well as Dr. Dre (Suge Knight Wanted For Murder After Deliberately Running Over And Killing A Man From The Film Set 'Straight Outta Compton'). 

Suge Knight during a previous television interview

In fact, Suge was behind the movie set shooting that took place on the set last year (Shooting Breaks Out On The Set Of NWA Biopic Leaving One Person Injured). The shooting, which left one injured, was a warning shot. However, Dr. Dre and company did not get the message and it escalated into this week's deadly vehicular homicide. The fact of the matter is Suge has been stalking the "Straight Outta Compton" film sets for months. 

Industry figures dislike biopics making reference to them, in which they have no control over the film's content. Some filmmakers sensationalize biopics and the truth is nowhere to be found in them (though Suge legitimately did enough dirt there would be no need for sensationalism). However, most do not resort to violence. Suge's raging resentment and jealousy towards Dr. Dre, whom he still feels he owns, hit an all time high when news broke that Apple bought out the music producer's Beatz Audio company, netting the star approximately $300,000,000. News of the biopic recounting Suge's conduct brought things to boiling point.

Suge, who has a terrible temper and refuses to control it in any manner, was already on probation for previous crimes when this violent incident occurred. Witnesses have already given police statements indicating Suge was the aggressor in the vehicular homicide that occurred this week. The mere fact witnesses stated Suge deliberately ran over the victims with his truck, not once but twice, running over "Training Day" actor Terry Carter's head and killing him, then fleeing the scene, will not play well with a jury (witnesses, paramedics and police must have been horrified seeing such a grisly crime scene). 

This creates a set of serious circumstances that could see Suge locked up for the rest of his life. He is currently being held in Los Angeles County Jail on $2,000,000 bail. Something tells me Suge is going to end up bending over. If only he had controlled his temper. Things would have turned out so differently. Living the "thug life" always leads to trouble.

Suge Knight Wanted For Murder After Deliberately Running Over And Killing A Man Near The Film Set 'Straight Outta Compton'

Marion "Suge" Knight, best known as the violent, former CEO of Death Row Records, who was present when rapper Tupac Skakur was gunned down in the passenger seat of his BMW along the Vegas strip, is in more trouble with the law. Knight is wanted for murder. Knight antagonistically visited the set of the "Straight Outta Compton" movie chronicling the life of the gangster rap group NWA.

Suge Knight

The film includes items regarding the late Ruthless Records CEO, Eazy E, real name Eric Wright, who died of AIDS. In the 1990s, Knight threatened Eazy E with grievous bodily injury and death, if he did not release rapper/producer Dr. Dre from his recording and production contract with Ruthless Records. Dre was released and created Death Row Records with Knight, which lead to terrible acts of violence, in another deal Dre had to flee with nothing, in order to save his life.

 

Members of NWA and the cast and crew of forthcoming biopic "Straight Outta Compton"

Knight was worried about how he would be portrayed in "Straight Outta Compton." The film set had already been the target of violence last year, after shots rang out during a courthouse scene in Compton, injuring an innocent person. Tragedy has struck again, after Knight got into a confrontation with the film crew yesterday. Shortly after, Knight hopped into his truck and ran over two men, killing one with his vehicle, at a nearby restaurant. Witnesses state Knight deliberately ran over the two men, then backed up over them. Knight then fled the scene and is wanted by police for murder.

 

NWA in the 1980s

 
It is not the first time Knight has been accused of murder. He was previously accused of having a police officer murdered in the driveway of the Hollywood Hills mansion he shared with his wife, after they legally separated (and later divorced). Authorities accused Knight of killing the officer for dating his wife. Many blame him for the death of Tupac Shakur, as he walked away from the drive by shooting with a scratch, while his fellow Hollywood "Illuminati" member was hit with several bullets, then taken off life support, succumbing to his injuries.

Knight was robbing Tupac, much like he did Dre during that time period. Where Dre walked away without the money and copyrights due to him, after the mogul showed up at his house he shares with his wife and kids, with weapon wielding thugs in tow, Tupac openly protested he wanted the $20,000,000 owed to him. Shortly after, Tupac was killed. The rapper's mother had to sue Knight years later in an effort to recoup the many millions owed to her deceased son.

 

Knight's bullet riddled BMW after the drive by shooting that left him uninjured and Tupac on life support. Tupac died shortly after from his injuries.

The U.S. government knew of the violent crimes being committed by Knight, ranging from aggravated assault to murder, but only arrested him for tax evasion. In the end Knight lost Death Row, his mansion and much of his cash to the government and lawsuits that forced him into bankruptcy court. Knight has refused to change his violent ways, stemming from his days as a street gang member with the Bloods. The Judiciary Report and its sister sites have written about Knight several times for years, imploring him to change his ways. It's regrettable that his conduct has now resulted in the death of another person.

New Police Theory On Who Killed Biggy And Tupac

Tupac, Snoop Dogg and Suge Knight

The show "Celebrity Crime Files" on TV One, recently explored a new theory regarding the murders of rappers the Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur, who were gunned down in separate incidents. For years it has been stated in print and on film that Nation of Islam member Amir Mohamed, in conjunction with Los Angles Police Department officer, David Mack, a known, corrupt associate of former Death Row Records CEO, Suge Knight, who signed Tupac to a record deal, had B.I.G. murdered. Mack went to prison for armed robbery.

"Celebrity Crime Files" going on an investigation conducted by LAPD officer Greg Kading, now claims the South Side Compton Crips murdered B.I.G. over an uncollected debt. Kading stated he had a sit-down with one of the gang's leaders, Keithy D, who stated he was present when both Tupac and B.I.G. were murdered six months apart, in Las Vegas and New York respectively.

A woman named Theresa Swan also informed Kading that she is raising Knight's child and that he is the one who commissioned B.I.G.'s murder in retaliation for Tupac's death, though there is no published proof the former had anything to do with the latter's murder. Swan stated she visited Knight in prison after Tupac's murder and he instructed her to contact a gang member named Pucci, who would handle the hit on B.I.G.   

The Notorious B.I.G. and Diddy in the 1990s

Previously, a bodyguard for Diddy, CEO of Badboy Entertainment, the record label B.I.G. was signed to as a recording artist, shot and killed Knight's bodyguard during an altercation outside of an Atlanta, Georgia night club. Knight read a lot into the incident and had it in for Diddy ever since. Knight also demanded the address of Diddy's mother, Janice Coombs, allegedly beating an industry executive for the information.

At the end of the day, some believe Knight was behind Tupac's murder, as the rapper was about to leave Death Row Records, over unpaid royalties totaling $20,000,000. Knight refused to pay Tupac all that was owed and it created significant tension and arguments.

After his murder, the rapper's mother, Afeni Shakur sued Death Row Records to obtain the back royalties her son unsuccessfully fought for during his life. She settled for a fraction of what was owed, as Death Row's assets were seized by the government and others. Knight also despised Diddy and his label, deeming them rivals. This made B.I.G., Badboy's most profitable star, a prime target.
