He may be locked in jail, but Suge Knight seems to be plotting to get back what he thinks he’s owed. According to TMZ, the ex-Death Row Records CEO is suing Dr. Dre for $300 million, the amount he says he’s owed because of a lifetime management deal that entitles him to 30% of his earnings.
Apparently, Suge and his layers claim that Dre did not want to pay up after selling his company (Beats by Dre) to Apple and he hired someone to kill him at the 2014 BET Awards. That night, there was an attempted murder where Suge was shot seven times and the shooter (T-Money) admitted to being hired by Dre to murder him.
The lawsuit also claims Cle “Bone” Sloan was paid upwards of $300,000 to assault Knight on the Straight Outta Compton set, an incident that ultimately left Terry Carter dead (Suge is currently awaiting trial for his role in the hit-and-run murder).
Dre has responded through a representative saying,
“Given that Dre has had zero interaction with Suge since leaving Death Row Records in 1996, we hope that Suge’s lawyer has lots of malicious prosecution insurance”
