I believe in justice. I really do. But for some reason, Suge “Marion” Knight suing someone over anything to do with violence, clubs, and melees just doesn’t sit well with me. Isn’t this the negro who ran with or was a part of a gang exacting revenge and scare tactics on anyone who opposed him? If all the headlines over the last twenty years are even remotely true, he’s been into that type of activity for the bulk of his life. Now he wants to pose as a “victim”?
The ex-rap mogul is suing Kanye West over an incident that took place at a celebrity-packed Miami Beach party where an as-yet-unidentified gunman shot Knight in the leg. Kanye hosted the 2005 bash at the Shore Club before the MTV Video Music Awards that left Suge with a shattered femur and $200,000 in medical bills.
Suge claims West and the Shore Club’s owners didn’t provide enough security.
He had a face-to-face encounter with Kanye and his legal team on Friday to make an attempt at settling the dispute, but the outcome wasn’t to his liking.
“I figured I could sit him down, man to man, and get this resolved,” Knight said after the failed six-hour, closed-door session at a Fifth Avenue office. “I’m disappointed.”
West isn’t interested in settling anything. He said he wasn’t involved in the security arrangements for the party and simply isn’t responsible, according to Knight’s lawyer, Marc Brumer.
Knight said in his lawsuit, now being handled in Miami federal court, that West and the Shore Club should have realized the party could produce a “dangerous environment” because of a widely known history of sometimes violent feuding among rap figures (how laughable is that?!?!).
“My whole thing is: I’m not here to put nobody behind bars,” Knight said Friday, exolaining that he mainly wanted to put the specter of rap-related violence to rest.
“It’s time for more positive now,” he added.
He’s seeking more than $1 million in damages in his lawsuit.
