Suge Knight, who co-founded Death Row Records and is now incarcerated, has criticized prominent rappers for not speaking out following Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ recent arrest.
In an interview conducted from Richard J. Donovan State Prison, where Knight is serving a sentence for voluntary manslaughter, he voiced his discontent to Chris Cuomo. He highlighted artists like Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre for their lack of public commentary on the situation.
Knight, known for his controversial opinions, suggested that Diddy‘s actions are indicative of a broader trend within the music industry.
“Diddy was influenced by those before him and has subsequently influenced those after him,” Knight stated.
This remark emphasizes Knight’s belief in a cycle of abuse within the industry.
His assertions aligned with earlier comments from Diddy‘s ex-bodyguard, Gene Deal, who mentioned that Diddy‘s behavior mirrors learned practices within the industry.
Suge Knight’s serious claims and industry revelations
While speaking to Cuomo, Knight alluded to the existence of possible footage implicating notable personalities in dubious actions, though he did not divulge details.
When asked about the tapes and their contents, Knight provided an unclear response, simply stating, “You know what they show.”
This ambiguity has sparked curiosity about potential concealed scandals in the music world.
Knight criticized the hip-hop community for their lack of response to Diddy’s legal troubles.
He called out influential figures like T.I., Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre, alleging they are aware of the underlying problems yet remain silent.
“Nobody is stepping up, even though they know what’s going on,” Knight remarked.
He compared Diddy‘s circumstances to those of Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting that Diddy‘s knowledge of certain matters could pose risks for him in prison—either from what he knows or due to others wanting notoriety by targeting him.
