  • Suge Knight Praises Lil Wayne and Threatens Drake in the Same Interview, Looks to Get 'Even' in 2015

    Suge Knight had an interesting interview recently with TMZ in which he discussed his New Year's resolutions, Lil Wayne and Drake. He also mentioned Tupac Shakur. The video is a little unsettling considering the former Death Row Records CEO seems to be making some threats. Hopefully, Suge was just joking, but he does not strike me as one who likes to laugh.Suge is sporting a festive sweater in the video below, puffing on his signature cigar. The most surprising part of the interview is that the Black Kapital Records head would even talk to TMZ — which has caught him in some unflattering moments before. But he does, and the results are chilling."I'm gonna make sure everybody gets their justice," he says after a brief pause. "It's a year for getting even."He does not elaborate on that, but it probably has something to do with Suge getting shot at Chris Brown's pre-VMA party in August. But he said it was not important who shot him, so who knows?"I don't think that's really important, who pulled the trigger and who I seen pulled the trigger," Knight told TMZ in a previous interview. "I think that I'm doing extremely well. I'm happy to be doing well and whatever happens, happens."When asked about a recent Tupac documentary, Suge urges real fans of the rapper to start asking questions and "be more aggressive."
