Jerry Heller Sues Dr. Dre And Ice Cube For $110,000,000 Over 'Straight Outta Compton' Movie


1980s music industry manager, Jerry Heller, has sued Dr. Dre, Ice Cube among others, over the $200,000,000 grossing music biopic "Straight Outta Compton." The movie chronicled the lives of the rappers in the 1980s gangsta rap group N.W.A. (Nig*as With Attitudes). Heller was the manager of the group, who worked for the late rapper and Ruthless Records label boss, Eazy E, real name Eric Wright, who died of AIDS due to sexual promiscuity.

Heller's lawsuit states he was defamed in the film. As a result of this alleged defamation, Heller has sued for $110,000,000. Heller maintains he was falsely accused in the film of withholding "a $75,000 check from Ice Cube" ate "lobster brunches while the contracts were being signed" and was "fired by Eazy E." Heller is also making a claim for producers of the film using his book without credit or payment, which would constitute copyright infringement, if proven true.

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.

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 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').

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.
