Death Row’s CEO Suge Knight Files $106 Million Law Suit

Written on Monday, February 20th, 2006 by Cinzano D :: more comments to this post

Marion “Suge” Knight and Death Row Records have filed a $106 million dollar lawsuit against Michael “Harry-O” Harris and others in Los Angeles Federal Court.

“Big Suge” claims Harris, (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.
Harris says Knight and Andre Young struck a deal with Interscope records and released The Chronic in 1992, which sold over 3 million copies and won two Grammy Awards.

The DEA convicted Harriy-O of running an international drug operation that helped link Los Angeles street gangs to a Columbian cocaine cartel as well as the kidnapping and attempted murder of a member of his organization. Harry’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.

Knight’s Death Row Record’s released hit albums such as Dr.Dre’s “The Chronic”, Snoop Doggy Dogg’s “DoggyStyle” and Tupac Shakur’s “All Eyez On ME”
