Suge Knight Once Tried to Take Ja Rule from Def Jam & Had CEOs Hiding in a Bathroom
By Ivy League MVP • September 1, 2019
This week, Chris Gotti sat down with Doggie Diamonds to speak on his history with Suge Knight. Although many have been afraid to tell their stories about the iconic mogul from Los Angeles, Gotti touched on a rare story that involved Death Row Records.
While at Def Jam Records, Suge tried to strong-arm the company for Ja Rule, which raised a red flag (no pun intended) in the eyes of Murder Inc. This led to Irv Gotti advising his brother to move careful when approaching Mr. Knight in mid-town Manhattan on the Loki situation.
