Life Story
Knight plans on telling his life story in a TV series inspired by 50 Cent, according to TMZ. The CEO of Death Row Records is set to reveal insights about his upbringing in Compton, including his childhood aspiration to become a football coach and other intriguing aspects.
He also hopes to tell the story of how he met his brother, Brian Brown, who he will team up with for the project. The brothers are looking to put together a TV series that will follow Knight’s career and his upbringing in Compton.
Suge Knight is known for his management of major hip hop stars like Tupac Shakur and Dr. Dre.
He started his label in 1991 and signed a number of rappers, including Tupac and Snoop Dogg. They released some of west coast rap’s biggest hits such as California Love. They later parted ways with Knight and left Death Row records. During his time at the label, Knight also met and married Tupac’s mother Afeni Shakur.
Career
Knight began thuggin’ in the 1980s, but it wasn’t until he was a college football player at UNLV that he became an important player in the Los Angeles rap scene. He was a teammate of Eazy-E on the Rebels’ national championship football team and later developed a friendship with Dr.
In 1992, Suge Knight co-founded Death Row Records, a major gangsta rap label. The label would eventually sign Tupac, Snoop Dogg and other rap stars to lucrative contracts.
Despite his criminal record and a reputation for brutality, Knight escaped serious punishment. He entered a guilty plea for voluntary manslaughter in the hit-and-run incident that resulted in the death of Terry Carter during the filming of Straight Outta Compton in 2014.
If the upcoming federal probe into Knight’s business practices finds him guilty, it could have an impact on the future of Interscope. Those close to the company say that Knight’s fall from power at Death Row would be a boon for Iovine and Fields.
Relationships
Marion “Suge” Knight has had a few significant relationships that have shaped his life. He married Michel’le in 1999 and they have a daughter named Bailei.
He has also been linked to Halle Berry. The Oscar-winning actress is reportedly in a relationship with Suge, but she has not confirmed the news.
Knight was once a pro football player. He played twice as a substitute for the Los Angeles Rams in 1987.
In his early career, he owned several real estate properties in America. However, his career took a downturn after he was convicted of a hit-and-run crime.
He now lives in a prison cell and is unable to receive phone calls. He is not eligible for parole until 2037.
Net Worth
According to TMZ, suge knight plans on telling his life story in a TV series inspired by 50 Cent‘s hit STARZ series BMF. The former Death Row Records co-founder is teaming up with his brother Brian Brown for a biopic that will follow him through his upbringing in Compton and his childhood desire to be a football coach.
He started his career as a football player, playing defensive back for his University team. However, he was never drafted in the NFL draft and decided to take a break from football to focus on music instead.
Then, he got involved with NWA and co-founded Death Row Records in 1991. The label would go on to launch the careers of some of hip hop’s biggest stars.
The label grew into one of the most influential in hip hop history, thanks to artists such as Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, and its decline spelled disaster for Suge Knight’s net worth.
