Suge Knight is back at it again. This time the former Hip-Hop mogul is suing rapper/producer Kanye West. Alleging that Kanye is to blame for damages that resulted from a nightclub shooting three years ago.
In August 2005, Knight was shot in the right leg at Kanye’s pre-MTV Video Music Awards party at the Shore Club, located in Miami. Initially some speculated that Knight accidentally shot himself, but that claim was later refuted after eyewitnesses confirmed that at least six shots were fired during the incident. The person who shot him was never caught.
A few years back Suge filed for bankruptcy protection in 2006, but now files this dumb ass lawsuit against Kanye West on October 30. In the suit, Knight claims West is culpable in the crime since the shooter was able to get past the party’s security with a deadly weapon. He also 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. *Boi STOP*!!! 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.
Others named in the lawsuit include Philips South Beach (The Shore Club) and Morgans Hotel Group Management LLC. Knight is seeking damages from West which includes medical expenses from the shooting and mental anguish for “the loss of use and enjoyment of the earring.” <------He can't be serious about that one... can he? Wait... I forget who I'm talking about. My bad!
While Knight is still under bankruptcy protection, the courts have allowed him to retain a portion of any proceeds awarded from the lawsuit. Knight recently had legal troubles on his own, as the former Death Row CEO was arrested on August 27 for assaulting his girlfriend Melissa Isaac near the Las Vegas strip. That case is now in limbo due to the "mysterious" disappearance of Isaac. WHEN... will someone put this fool out of his misery?
