Suge Knight Warns Diddy: “Your Life’s in Danger” After Home Raids
Music executive Suge Knight has issued a warning to his long-time hip-hop rival, P Diddy, stating that his “life’s in danger” following federal raids on Diddy’s homes in Florida and California. Knight, who is currently serving a 28-year sentence for voluntary manslaughter, made the comments during his podcast “Collect Call.” The audio clip, obtained by TMZ, reveals Knight praying for Diddy’s children before criticizing the singer for tarnishing the reputation of hip-hop. Knight further alludes to a “secret room” and ominously warns Diddy that “they gonna get you if they can.”
Suge Knight Advises Diddy to Surrender and Face the Music
During the podcast, Knight encourages Diddy to turn himself over to the authorities, much like Knight did in 2015 following a hit-and-run incident that resulted in a death. He emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility and facing the consequences. Knight also offers some “real advice” for Diddy if he ends up behind bars, urging him to “take the first” option when it comes to using the restroom and warning him against using his newest nickname, “Brother Love,” in prison.
Suge Knight and Diddy’s Long-Standing Beef
The feud between Suge Knight and Diddy has deep roots, stemming from the notorious East Coast vs. West Coast rap rivalry of the 90s. With Knight’s Death Row Records and Diddy’s Bad Boy Records at the forefront of the conflict, the two have been at odds for decades. Knight attributes the hostility to the death of his friend Big Jake during a party in Atlanta in 1995, which he believes triggered the ongoing animosity between the two.
Diddy Faces Allegations of Sex Trafficking and RICO Violations
In addition to the home raids, Diddy has been named in civil lawsuits by multiple individuals in connection to sex trafficking allegations and a RICO case. These allegations have been under investigation by federal authorities. However, it’s important to note that Diddy has not been arrested or charged with any crimes in relation to these allegations at this time.
