Suge Knight Sues Kanye West
Suge — who recently filed for bankruptcy — blames Kanye for allowing someone to smuggle a gun past security at West’s pre-MTV VMA party at The Shore Club in Miami back in 2005, where an unknown person managed to shoot Suge in his upper right leg, shattering a bone.
According to the lawsuit filed on September 12 in US Bankruptcy Court in L.A., Suge claims he didn’t just lose blood — he also lost a 15-carat, $135,000 diamond stud earring inside the club during the incident — and that too is Kanye’s fault.
Full Story: TMZ
He is suing Kanye for damages for the loss of use and enjoyment of the earring and hospital charges. Is Kanye liable for any of this?

Suge will get a countersuit because of this. How he figure it’s Kanye’s Fault?
Kanye sure doesnt own “The Shore Club,” so its not his responsibility.
Suge just wants his 2.5 minutes of fame as usual. This nigga is done.

As a promoter of events, unless Kanye promoted the event he’s not liable. I’m sure whoever promoted the event had liability insurance and so should the venue. Kanye more than likely lent his name as an indorsement. Suge will be able to get something from the promoter and the venue. Remember the Puffy and Shine incident also the Lil Wayne show.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
Suge’s fall is fun to watch though…karma truly is a bitch.

Wow, suge is once again on a bad one. He’s money hungry. Everything is about money with suge. I believe he knew wht happend with pac, thts why he keeps his mouth silent, & he’s got hald the hiphop industry on a quiet one bcus he’s life threatening. Suge hides secrets the media has tried to dig up for years now. I thnk tht stunt was also bout the money pac supposibly owed him frm the bail suge got him out of. “Tupac didn’t want to join Deathrow at first, but changed his mind when faced with prison. Suge said he’d get Tupac out, in exchange Tupac had to do 3 albums for Deathrow” all in the end suge was going bankrupt & pac wanted out. Then BOOM. . .set up
Later on I wasn’t to suprised Dre left the mess & came up with aftermath.
Then after pac past, snoop came into the picture. & made large amounts of money & no surpise when snoop left, Suge framed snoop as a bitch fake gangasta tht rats on ppl.
“After all the drama with the news telecast, the West Coast held a Hip Hop Summit in which Suge Knight, argueably the most powerful black CEO of all time, got several rappers, including Tray Deee & The D.O.C. to agree with him in the accusal of distributors cheating artists out of their money. Suge Knight then called out Dre and Snoop publically at the summit for not showing up to the event accusing them of showing no support for the West Coast.” - rapcenteral
Hahaha. Suge just wnts money & noone wnts to deal with his ass. He’s lopsided. He’s thru with.
So back to kanye. . . After a week later suing Kanye, he goes & Sues Cops. Hahaha!! Wht a bitch.
And about trying to blame kayne over a earing? He acts like kanye just wlkd up to em & snatched it!!!!!
