Suge Knight Sues Kanye West
11.12.08Suge — 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?

Hell no it aint that niggas fault.Suge must be hungry so he figures he’ll try to eat off of Ye’s plate.He aint gettin no where Ye’s lawyers are gonna eat this case up…1
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.
Look how LOW suge knight has fallen. Dude was a hiphop mogul @ 1 time. Its called KARMA. Dre and Snoop making millions since they left deathrow. Suge trying to get that SUE MONEY lol.
Why isn’t he sueing the mother fucker who shot him or the club where he lost the ear ring? And why did he waite 3 years to sue? This mother fucker is an pathetic.
i think he is liable for the gun thing but not the earring,
go baby! you so wavy!
owwww
I thought gangstas don’t sue people.
Niccuh, get a JOB!
How is that Ye’s fault? But hell if I was broke id sue random ppl too…

Suge is a clumsy idiot same mofo that got his huge ass beat at a club earlier this year..lol
Smh at Mr. Knighty Knight for pickin on lil people what a bald head shine bully..lol
#6 smooth da hustler bitch im a gangsta and i sue people all the time!!!crips UP bloods DOWN!!!
Hoe ass nigga…kill yaself
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.
SMH Kanye shouldnt lose a dime, and Suge needs to give it up, are ppl even scared of him anymore? that said i wouldnt want to see tha dude, but im a lil nugga lmao
dis nigga got money, not legit money
He is rubbish for this one tho, he needs to get folded up again, maybe a few more times hittn the pavement will wake his ass up.
A BITCHHHH WILL DO ANYTHING 4 MONEY!!!!

He just mad cuz he aint making money.
word to #6 and #23… the gangstga lifestyle in music is OFFICALLY OVER with this right here…. the same nigga every1 used 2 b scared of is sueing niggaz now? wow
#15 I thought gangstas didn’t start internet beefs.
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!!!!!
