In his latest "Collect Call" podcast, Suge Knight makes a bold accusation against Akon, saying that the singer has raped young girls in the studio.

"Let's tell the real truth," Suge said on the podcast. "One of my homegirls, she was a hustler. She has a little sister, 13 years old. Her best friend was 12 years old. She in the car with him. You [Akon] and [producer] Detail call her. She said, 'I got my little sister and her best friend with me.' [Y'all say], 'Let's stop by for a second.'"

Suge then further "revealed" that Akon and his associate "basically raped" the girls in the hotel room, with the girls allegedly claiming all these to Suge's "homegirl."

The former Death Row CEO claims he told the woman to remain quiet about it instead of going to the police.

This claim could get Suge into legal trouble.

Akon says to TMZ Hip Hop that the allegations are untrue and that he will not put up with the defamation.

He continues, "I need to make it very clear that I absolutely deny these outrageous false and disgusting claims Suge Knight made on his podcast about me."

He explained, "Since Suge Knight was imprisoned, I have never given him a call, sent him a message, or otherwise interacted with him. The soundbite of my voice on his show was taken from an interview I had with DJ Vlad on Suge Knight in 2009, which was conducted three years prior."

"I've never been a guest on Suge Knight's podcast," he goes on.

He said he has always believed that positivity can be added to the world, and his legacy and deeds have demonstrated this.

"It's unfortunate that I have to defend myself from these lies and I will be involving my legal team in filing a defamation lawsuit against Mr. Knight, my prayers for him will still continue."

Akon addressed the violent altercation that occurred in 2020 between Suge and Akon's road manager, claiming that it was the result of a commercial dispute between Detail, Suge, and himself.

The story was first reported by TMZ in 2009; Suge was left knocked out on the sidewalk, and Robert Carnes Jr., a member of Akon's entourage, was taken into custody for felony assault in Scottsdale, Arizona.

As previously reported, Suge and Dave Mays, the founder of The Source magazine, started a podcast where they talked about Suge's colorful past as the creator of Death Row.

He is serving a 28-year sentence for voluntary manslaughter while recording the pod. After just one episode, it's already making waves!
