Suge Knight Refuses to Remove Bullet That Hit Him During Tupac Shooting

As of late, Suge Knight has been suffering from various health issues after being arrested on murder charges. Despite his current condition, Knight refuses to remove a bullet that hit him during the Tupac shooting.

According to TMZ, the former Death Row label head frequently passes out, puzzling doctors. Physicians now want to move on to perform an MRI to get to the bottom of things, but there is a bullet fragment stopping them. Doctors need to remove the bullet fragment in order to perform an accurate scan.

The fragment has reportedly been logged in Suge Knight's head for the past 19 years. He was hit with the bullet as he drove the car Tupac rode in the night of the shooting on September 7, 1996 in Las Vegas that caused the "Hail Mary" rapper's death nearly a week later. The shooter reportedly intended for the bullet to hit Tupac.

As noted by XXL, Knight has refused to have the bullet removed because of a fear that he'll die if doctors begin messing around with his head.

Last month, Knight was hospitalized following a hearing tied to his alleged hit-and-run and the murder of Terry Carter.

This marked the fifth time Knight had been taken from the courthouse via ambulance. He reportedly passed out in court after a judge set his bail at $25 million back in March. Since then, his bail has been reduced to $10 million.

His current charges stem from a January incident in which he allegedly killed one man and severely injured another with his car after an altercation on the set of Straight Outta Compton, the forthcoming N.W.A. biopic.
