Suge Knight sues another grimey underworld boss...

Okay, so Irv "Gotti" Lorenzo and his brother get investigated by the FBI on suspicion that Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff (or whatever his legal name is) supplied drug money to start the Murder Inc. label. Unless you've been under a rock for like a year or so, you've heard about this. Fortunately the Lorenzo's got off.



In what I think is an ironic announcement, Suge Knight is suing the former DRUG DEALER (Harry-O Harris) who helped him START DEATH ROW RECORDS for $106 million. This is not to say that Death Row was started with drug money [laughing as I type]...

"Harris, who is serving a 28-year-sentence in a California State prison for attempted murder and drug dealing, attempted to blackmail people and businesses in the music industry, by threatening to allege that proceeds from his drug enterprise were invested in legitimate businesses."

BUT....


"In 1997, Harris told the Los Angeles Times that he struck a deal with Knight to fund Death Row Records. Harris said he helped create Death Row along with Suge Knight and his lawyer David Kenner"

The kicker here is that:

"Harry O's wife Lydia Harris filed a lawsuit against Knight and in March of 2005, Knight was ordered to pay Mrs. Harris $106 million dollars...Mrs. Harris was awarded the judgment because Knight failed to respond to legal inquires about the case and missed various court dates."

So basically, Suge wants his money back. I'm assuming he thinks that Harry-O's wife is holding the money for Mr. O when he comes home. I don't blame Suge (I guess) but I think it's kind of funny how Death Row has never been investigated like Murder Inc. We all know Suge Knight is no saint so I guess he's getting what's due to him.
