Even while behind bars Suge Knight is not the one to hold his tongue. He has now weighed in on Diddy’s ongoing federal trial.
The Deathrow Records founder recently conducted several in depth interviews spanning several hours with ABC News. During the conversations Suge Knight made it clear that while he still has his issues with Diddy, he believes that many of the problems within the Rap industry are systemic issues. “If you’re going to make Puffy answer, make everyone answer,” Suge explained. “Change the theme of the culture of the problems in Hip-Hop. I think it’d be a great thing to let Puffy tell his truth. Tell the real truth, and bring everybody accountable.” When asked about the notorious “Freak Offs” Suge said that there have been rumors about Diddy’s sex life since the 1990s. “Everybody knew that,” Knight revealed. “Puffy didn’t just pop in the industry and say ‘hey, I want to have sex with everybody. I mean, we don’t have enough time to name all the names.”
Since the trial has commenced Suge Knight’s name has been mentioned close to 50 times. Diddy’s former assistant Capricorn Clark testified that Combs frequently chastised her because she worked for Suge Knight prior. She also claimed that Diddy threatened because of her work history. “He told me he didn’t know that I had anything to do with Suge Knight and, if anything happened, he would have to kill me,” she said. Capricorn also alleged that Diddy blackballed her from the music industry making it nearly impossible to find other work.
Suge Knight detailed how someone of Diddy’s stature could easily do such a thing. “She did great things for Puffy. Anything he needed, she got it. Anything he wanted, if she didn’t have it, she made it happen,” he said. “A lot of people might say, well, Capricorn could have did anything else she wanted to do. She did try. If you go get a job at Universal and Puffy makes a phone call, you’re not getting that job. If you go get a job at a counter agency or in the movie business and Puff make that call, your career is over.”
Suge Knight also expressed some sympathy toward Diddy and his situation. “I feel that people in Puffy’s life, going on his journey growing up, they failed him,” he said. “Do I think he made some mistakes? I think he repeats what he’s seen. He repeats what he learned.”
Diddy has pleaded not guilty to all the charges. If convicted on all counts he could face life in prison.
