West Sued Over Knight Shooting

Fallen rap mogul Marion 'Suge' Knight is taking legal action against hip-hop superstar Kanye West over an incident at a party three years ago in which he was allegedly shot and robbed. The former Death Row Records boss - who recently filed for bankruptcy - claims he attended West's pre-MTV Video Music Awards event at a Miami, Florida nightclub in 2005, where an unknown person shot him in the leg - shattering a bone. He also claims to have been robbed of a 15-carat, $135,000 diamond earring. Knight filed papers on October 30 at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in L.A. claiming the "Stronger" hitmaker is to blame for the incident for allowing a gun to get past security checks at the venue. He is seeking damages for his injuries and for the loss of the jewelery. Knight has also reportedly worked out a deal with bankruptcy officials that would see him keep a percentage of any possible payout from the lawsuit, according to TMZ.com. http://www.thebeatfm.com/main.html
