In an explosive new interview, Suge Knight, the notorious former CEO of Death Row Records, unleashed his thoughts on Kanye Westโs recent comments about Jay-Z’s children, and opened up about the long-standing beef between 2Pac and Jay-Z that has kept hip-hop fans guessing for years.
Known for his brash, no-holds-barred demeanor, Knight didnโt hold back, calling out Kanye West for his controversial remarks and revisiting the heated feud that continues to affect the legacy of two of the biggest figures in hip-hop.
Kanye West has been known for his controversial statements and actions over the years, but his recent diss toward Jay-Zโs kids has taken things to a whole new level.
During an appearance on a podcast, Kanye made remarks that many interpreted as disrespectful toward the Carters’ children, which quickly caught the attention of social media and the media at large.
Suge Knight, whoโs always been a figure unafraid to speak his mind, came out swinging in response.
โKanye needs to mind his own damn business,โ Knight began.
โYou canโt be out here disrespecting peopleโs kids.
Thatโs where I draw the line. Jay-Zโs kids ainโt got nothing to do with any of Kanyeโs nonsense.โ
Knight didnโt stop there, making it clear that Kanyeโs comments werenโt just out of line, they were dangerous.
โKanyeโs out here acting like he runs the game, but heโs forgetting where he came from.
You donโt disrespect a man’s familyโespecially his children.
Thatโs one thing that Iโve always respected about Jay, he keeps his family close, and Kanyeโs out here just doing reckless stuff to get attention.โ
The remarks come amid Kanyeโs controversial behavior over the past few years, which has included a range of wild statements and actions.
Knight, who has a long history of clashes with industry figures, emphasized that Kanye needs to stay in his lane and not cross lines that even hip-hop moguls like Jay-Z wouldnโt cross.
In addition to his comments on Kanye West, Suge Knight took the opportunity to finally address the long-standing beef between 2Pac and Jay-Zโone of the most talked-about rivalries in hip-hop history.
The tension between the two icons dates back to the mid-90s, after 2Pacโs infamous diss track, โHit โEm Up,โ which many believe targeted Jay-Z, among other East Coast rappers.
Knight, who was closely connected to 2Pac during his Death Row Records days, recalled the animosity between the two rap legends.
โJay-Z knows what it is,โ Suge began.
โ2Pac didnโt like him.He saw through that whole East Coast/West Coast drama, and he wasnโt going to let Jay get away with acting like he didnโt know what was going on.
โ Knight went on to describe how 2Pac felt betrayed by the East Coast rap scene, which he believed Jay-Z was a part of, and how it fueled the rivalry.
In Sugeโs eyes, Jay-Zโs rise to fame and status in the industry wasnโt just about talent, but also about aligning with the right people.
โHe used Biggie and Puff to get where heโs at, but Pac wasnโt going to let him slide with that fake shit.
2Pac wasnโt about the politics, he was about the truth,โ Knight continued.
For years, fans have speculated about Jay-Zโs response to the diss tracks, and whether he harbored any ill will toward 2Pac.
Knight claims that Jay-Z tried to hide his true feelings.
โJay knows what he did, and Pac wasnโt here to let it slide.Thatโs why we had issues with him, but itโs all part of the game.โ
When it comes to the current state of Jay-Z’s career, Suge Knight isnโt afraid to speak his mind.
While he acknowledged Jay-Zโs success, he wasnโt quick to praise him.
โJay did his thing, but letโs be real, heโs always been a businessman.
Iโve been in this game long enough to know how these cats play,โ Knight said.
However, he also mentioned that the business side of Jay-Zโs career may have come at a personal costโparticularly in relation to 2Pac.
โJayโs success? Itโs all about aligning with the right people, knowing how to play the game.
But when Pac was alive, Jay wasnโt running nothing like he is now.And thereโs a lot of things weโll never forget.โ
Knight was firm in his belief that Jay-Z’s rise to the top involved some level of manipulation and playing both sides of the East Coast/West Coast war.
Knight didnโt mince words about his perception of Jay-Zโs rise to fame: โHe came up on the backs of others.
Thatโs how heโs always done it, and itโs why I canโt respect that.Pac wasnโt here for that.And neither am I.โ
As Knight wrapped up his comments, he delivered a warning not just to Kanye West but to the entire hip-hop community.
โThe game is about respect,โ Knight said.
โYou gotta respect the people that came before you, especially the ones who really put in work.
If Kanye and these other cats wanna get respect, they gotta learn to stop running their mouths and respect the culture.
Talking about peopleโs families, and running down on legends like Pac and Jayโthatโs how you lose everything.โ
Knight emphasized that hip-hop needs to return to its roots, where loyalty and respect were paramount.
For him, the drama between Kanye, Jay-Z, and the issues with 2Pac were just part of a larger picture in the hip-hop world that has lost its way.
As always, Suge Knight has stirred up controversy with his unfiltered comments on Kanye West, Jay-Z, and the enduring beef with 2Pac.
His remarks are a reminder that, despite his years of legal troubles and controversies, Knight still has a voice that resonates within the hip-hop community.
Whether you agree with him or not, his opinions on the legacy of 2Pac and Jay-Z are not to be ignored, and they serve as a reminder of the deeply personal rivalries that continue to shape the industry to this day.
