Suge Knight Struck

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

 Apparently Marion caught a bad one last night. Accoring to TMZ:

Suge was at Shag nightclub when he began arguing with a man he had been talking with. Our spy overheard Suge say, "I want my money!" Suge and his peeps beat the guy to the ground, but the man landed a right hook on Suge’s face, knocking him out for around three minutes. […]

Suge was taken to the hospital where LAPD officers arrived, but he refused to file a report.

I don’t think it’s actually a matter to joke about or to poke fun of, especially seeing him layed out like that and not putting on a tough guy show with all the cameras flashing, but I guess it’s just amazing to see someone that’s always been so unfuckwitable in the game in that position. Also, imagine the guy who was getting beaten up by the goons being able to tell his friends "you should see the other guy".

SWAT Team Comes for DMX

Friday, May 9th, 2008

After months of relative quiet, DMX has gotten right back into the swing of things with two high profile arrests in less than four days.

From the AP:

DMX was arrested on drug and animal-cruelty charges following an overnight raid on the rapper’s house Friday, authorities said.

The 37-year-old rapper, whose given name is Earl Simmons, initially tried to barricade himself in his bedroom but emerged when a SWAT team entered his north Phoenix home during the 3 a.m. raid, sheriff’s spokesman Capt. Paul Chagolla said.

The arrest and search warrants stemmed from indictments for felony drug possession and misdemeanor animal cruelty charges. He made an initial court appearance Friday where bail was sent at $7,500, said his local attorney, Cameron Morgan. Morgan said he expected bail to be posted quickly.

X’s attorney, Murray Richman, says he warned the rapper that something like this was likely to happen, and earlier this week Psycho Sheriff Joe Arpaio hinted that animal abuse charges might be imminent. During the raid, deputies found and confiscated 5 more pit bull puppies. They also raided a nearby Mayo clinic in connection with “a potential fraud scheme involving the rapper.”


“A guy like this DMX character with all his money and fame has no excuse for not providing proper care for his animals.”
- Sheriff Arpaio
