most important thing is is the is um there got to be a solution because this been going on in the industry for a whole bunch of years for decades and at the same time you know nobody want this to be true and it shouldn't have to be true sug Knight the founder of Death Row Records and one-time enemy of sha Diddy combes talks about comes' arrest by the feds in an interview with news Nation I look at what the one-time record company owner said about Combs from behind Prison Walls welcome to Crime fix I'm Anette
Levy Su Knight doesn't hold back he might be in prison for killing a man running him down with a car in Compton but that doesn't mean he's not sharing what's on his mind especially when it comes to Shawn coms coms of course is in a federal prison right now being held without bond following his arrest on sex trafficking and rering conspiracy charges coms is pleaded not guilty to those charges which appear at this point to involve one victim Cassie Ventura com's longtime ex-girlfriend who sued him last November comes settled that lawsuit the next day then
came a flurry of other lawsuits filed by other accusers including women and even a man record producer Rodney little Rod Jones the accusers claimed they were drugged and sexually assaulted by comes coms has denied ever sexually assaulting anyone but a video aired by CNN in May showed that Combs beat Cassie Ventura in a hotel hallway back in 2016 this happened in Los Angeles Combs apologized a couple of days later on Instagram so what does shg Knight have to say about this and why is anyone interested in what he has to say well Knight and coms
go way back and it wasn't always pretty in the mid 90s there was the so-called East Coast West Coast Feud where Combs had rapper Biggie Smalls at Bad Boy Records and knigh had signed Tupac Shakur at his Death Row Records Shakur was murdered in Vegas in 1996 and Biggy Smalls was shot to death in La the following spring but that was a long time ago almost 30 years ago now and we're talking about what's going on today and the allegations being made against shanes Suite is currently doing time in a California prison for running over
a man and killing him he'll be eligible for parole in 2034 Knight might be behind bars but that doesn't mean he's not doing things or that he's staying quiet he actually has a lot to say we have to really work hard back to day Suge Knight actually hosts a podcast entitled collect call with Suge Knight where he calls from prison and talks about a lot of things and this week he called Chris Cuomo on news nation and he had a lot to say about Shan comes and what's going on with his case and the allegations
of sex trafficking being made against him one thing he talked about is whether or not he believed Sean comes is safe being in jail Shan comes didn't want to be in jail he wanted to post bail a bail of $50 million but the judge denied that request he's in the MDC and that's a federal prison with a really awful reputation Knight was asked whether he thinks combms is safe behind bars I don't never want to say he's in danger and neither should he say that because once he get the point where they feel he gonna
be suicidal to himself harmful to himself well they put him on suicide watch you had a rights to nothing no socks no drawers no T-shirt no blanket no sheets you assho naked in the sell as a crazy man so he definitely don't want to do that and other advice I would tell him you know maybe he should get on the Jewish diet because the cult Mills is way better than the food somebody else is making for you at least they going to come hot they going to come SE you got to be the one open
them that's very important what about people trying to hurt to jail I mean one of the things is this I don't care who you are prison and jail is a negative environment somebody can do something to them and get a name for their self they're G actually do it or they can do whatever they feel they they got to do to prove they up but we also got to learn we got to learn from our mistakes everything don't have to be a mistake you got to better yourself but we all know what we sign up
for in life Su Knight is obviously in prison and we know a lot about him because he's a celebrity of course he grew up in Compton he played football at UNLV and then he came back to Compton and founded Death Row Records but do you want to know more about him maybe about his criminal and traffic records I went to truthfinder to see what I could find suge's first name is really Maran I put in Marian Knight and his criminal and traffic records come up it shows sug Knight was charged in 1994 with felony second
deegree robbery and a misdemeanor in 2010 now he's serving time for killing a man by hitting him with his car even if you're not in True Crime truthfinder can show you things from a person's past and registered sex offenders near you also you can use it to see what's online about yourself you can get 50% off right now of confidential background reports just log on to truthfinder.com C crime fix and start accessing information about almost anyone now I mentioned earlier that there was bad blood between Su Knight and Shan Combs many years ago but both
Knight and combs are fathers and what happens to them impacts their children Knight talked about how com's being in prison is likely impacting his kids and the accusers in the case how this might be impacting their children as well well first of all I'm not calling you and nobody else getting getting nobody to believe anything regarding him like I said and I always say me personally I don't jump up and down and cheer no black man going to prison or any other man any other human being going to prison because people think prison is always
the answer I'm not saying a lot of people don't deserve to do their time and and and see what's going on but at the same time that's not no cheerful thing because when you look at it that he that man have kids mhm and whatever affects him definitely affects his kids I know there's a lot of victims involved in it and whatever affects thems their kids so it's not a good thing to be talking about any kind of any about the next person but it's always it's not a great area with me now I think
anybody can empathize with children being impacted by their parents' situation and Trauma as the interview went on talk turned to the freak offs those are of course the alleged parties that were described in Cassie ventur as civil lawsuits and that the US attorney described when announcing the indictment the indictment alleges that coms abused and exploited women and other people for years and in a variety of ways as alleged Combs used Force threats of force and coercion to cause victims to engage in extended sexual performances with male commercial sex workers some of whom he transported or
caused to be transported over state lines Colmes allegedly planned and controlled the sex performances which he called freak offs and he often electronically recorded them the freak offs sometimes lasted days at a time involved multiple commercial sex workers and often involved a variety of Narcotics such as ketamine ecstasy and GHB which Combs distributed to the victims to keep them obedient and compliant as alleged when coms didn't get his way he was violent and he subjected victims to physical emotional and verbal abuse so that they would participate in the freak offs and that Combs hit kicked
through objects at and dragged victims at times by their hair on one occasion in March of 2016 that conduct was captured on video and later reported in the media specifically comes kicked dragged and threw a vase at a victim in a Los Angeles hotel when the victim was attempting to flee as alleged these assaults often resulted in injuries to the victims which took days or weeks to heal in addition to the violence the indictment alleges that Combs threatened and coerced victims to get them to participate in the freak offs he used the embarrassing and sensitive
recordings he made of the freak offs as collateral Ro against the victims and the indictment alleges that he maintained control over the victims in several ways including by giving them drugs by giving and threatening to take away financial support or housing by promising them career opportunities by monitoring their whereabouts and even by dictating their physical appearance dayslong sex parties with sex workers where participants sometimes needed IVs to recover it sounds awful Suge Knight talked about where he thinks Shan coms came up with this type of thing and at the same time puy didn't react or
get where he got or doing those things or those allegations by itself he was taught from people before him and he did it to the younger people after him and we can talk all day and say what's true what's not true only true part about it is is videos conversations and people can see what they done but Bo being happy and proud and say what do people think that's irrelevant so Suite basically claims that Shan comes learned this behavior from other hups in the record industry based on how he was treated when he was younger
is that what you're suggesting about sha Colmes that he was sexually abused and he now sexually abuses yeah I think that's absolutely right I think he heat what was done to him and like I said if you look at Russell Simmons you know the truth Andre you know the truth PR Davis you know the truth Jimmy I you know the truth it was at a point where it's like a whole sex trade because you take Nicole from the the Pussycat dog she said push the line for people to participate she was messing with Jimmy I
when Jimmy I was married to one of the most incredible women in the world named Vicki and she to go around and sing that song and change the marriage to make it put Vicki down so there's not certain things that all of a sudden you got this the industry is a Quick's business it's been like that for a long time and the casting couch is real but it's for women and men but for from all that I think the most important thing is to I feel like they should let puffy tell this truth I'm quite
sure he gonna expose a lot of people I'm sure he gonna move forward with it but I don't think it should be a situation like The Ting thing where they found him hanging from the CE in the dead before the truth come out well first of all you got to start with at the top you starting with the top fly Davis Russell Simmons Andre Jimmy I even if you take Jimmy I he had an allegation from him same thing it went away you take Jimmy IV they told me a universal endoscope and said you know
what we can't deal with artists that gets in trouble and your artist gets in trouble they crazy so that's a really bold claim being made against other record Executives some really big names Clive Davis vehemently denied the allegation in a statement to Cuomo saying this is a completely fabricated thread being trafficked by an incarcerated felon Mr Knight's assertions about Clive Davis are 100% false as nothing of the sort ever happened but what is interesting is Su Knight is not the first person to suggest Shan com's learned this Behavior listen to what com former bodyguard Jean
deal told the art of dialogue podcast recently when they get down to all the facts and all what happened he may belong in jail bro and that's not my doing that's not Cassie doing that's his doing and his learned behavior from the people that mentored him you gotta realize man you gota you he learned from anre herel he learned from Russell Simmons he learned from Clyde Davis you understand when those people are are are are telling you that they were in heavy into the drugs they was heavy into beating women and doing things at that
age at at that crazy stage that's going to make him think that he could get away with the same thing that they was getting away with back then you understand the things that he was saying you know the touchy Philly between two men and all that stuff like that man all that's he learned that from them dudes so those are two people who knew Shan coms saying that Shan coms learned this Behavior Behavior which Shan comes' attorney at this point has called Consensual Knight then offered his thoughts on the freak offs well number one luckily
I want I want their first choice their second choice I want to be at those freaky parties but you know what they show they to have a thing in Industry right and the sad thing about it I don't like mentioning Usher I Don't Like mentioning Justin beer I don't like mentioning all these people that everybody know what time it is so at the same time in uh they have a joke they never played this joke with me and they to walk in the in scope office they go back there and they like hey we pass
the test they said we haven't did the test what do say don't say that in front of Mr n because he G take the Sens to hurt somebody I saidwell whatever it is I probably will take it off somebody will get their ass whooped you know that was me in those days they have these guys they call it the ball egg test they to take a ball egg a raw ball egg have those guys P their pants down been over they sticky up the eggs break they say they not ready yet they ain't put enough
work in this is Hollywood so everybody want to go act like they don't know what's going on hold on a second you just look I have I have never heard of anything like that so if I haven't heard about it just assume a lot of people haven't heard that before but you think it's on video stop for a second go ahead sure listen also have you ever been any puffy parties no you sure they had a long time to think about it but if you haven't been in those butt naked parties even some of the
preaches been in those parties and they wasn't on their knees praying for God see they was praying for somebody to have come real quick or something but I was this proof of it but at the same time everybody want to look around and act like something going on is wasn't right just the facts of life in the industry so that was kind of graphic but this is what Suge Knight is saying and at one point he ran in these circles Knight also talked about Shan comes who he calls puffy because that's how he knew him
in the 90s as puffy being violent with Cassie Ventura and a woman he called Capricorn Jimmy security and puffy pulled up on Capricorn and start telling her that she got to settle with him she got to take this money she got to do this deal and whooping her ass and doing all the they took her to and guess what she settled she took the money and the money didn't come from puffy it didn't come from shimmy came from in scope of universal they paid her through it like she was getting a paycheck for working there
and then they made the girl I think she had to pay taxes on it so that's even more crazier so when you look at all these things and everybody want to say puffy puffy puffy don't get me wrong yeah puffy stepped in this shit and even if he wiped the shit off his shoe it still stinks but he's not the only one they got all to take so there you have sug Knight saying that Shan comes is not the only one he's making these bold claims about the music industry seanes has pleaded not guilty as
I've told you here's his lawyer Mark agnifilo his resolve is the same um he believes is innocent uh I believe he's innocent and we're going to fight this case with all of our might until we don't have to fight any longer the Fight Continues uh we're not we're we're not we're not giving up by a long shot I told Mr Colmes um I'm going to try and get his case to trial as quickly as possible I'm going to try and minimize the amount of time he spends in very very difficult and I believe inhumane uh
housing conditions in the in the special housing unit of the Metropolitan Detention Facility and I'm going to do everything that I can uh to move his case as quickly as possible and Mark agnolo told a TMZ documentary that comes plans to testify at his trial whenever it's scheduled so this trial will certainly be a he said she said and likely what the tape shows type of event and that's it for this episode of crime fix I'm and Janette Levy thanks so much for being with me I'll see you back here next time
