Suge Knight Suing Dr. Dre; Claims He Hired Hitman To Kill Him, Demands $300 Million

Remember when Death Row's Suge Knight used to be Hip Hop's Big Bad Wolf? Well, over the past several years, Knight has watched his stock as rap's biggest bully plummet because of his boneheaded decisions. With his life down the drain at this point - considering he's rotting away in prison - Knight isn't as intimidating as he once was. Besides that, it appears that Knight is willing to put away his past enemies in court rather than handle them up-close and personal.

According to TMZ, Suge Knight is coming for money and is suing Dr. Dre for hiring a hitman to kill him. The former West Coast honcho once signed Dre to a lifetime management deal where he would earn 30% of his earnings. So when Dre notched his deal with Apple for $3 billion, he was told that in order for the deal to successfully be completed, he needed to curtail his association with Suge Knight. Knight believes that Dre hired a hitman to kill him back in 2014 during a VMAs pre-party hosted by Chris Brown in L.A.'s 1OAK. There, he was shot six times, but survived the shooting.

Afterwards, the L.A. sheriff's department questioned a man named T-Money, who claimed that Dre paid him to shooSuge. Despite 37 cameras being placed in 1Oak, no arrests were made. By suing Dre, Apple, Universal, and Tam, Suge is hoping to run away with 300 million dollars, which is 30% of Dre's deal with Apple.

Back in the 90's, Knight scooped up Dre and signed him to Death Row Records, where the legendary producer created his classic, The Chronic. The two had a fallout, and the label was defunct by 2006.
