Inside the cold cement walls of the RJD Correctional Facility in San Diego, Suge Knight is doing more than just serving time—he’s rewriting the narrative, one interview at a time. And this time, he may have

crossed the final line of no return.

The infamous music mogul sat down recently with The Art of Dialogue, and what he dropped wasn’t just a story—it was a detonation. For decades, hip-hop fans have speculated about the mysterious and sudden

death of Eazy-E. AIDS, they said. But the timing, the silence, and Suge’s own strange comments over the years have kept the conspiracy alive.

Now, Suge claims he was there when Dr. Dre orchestrated Eazy’s downfall, and he says he has the receipts.

According to Suge, the trap was set when Dre asked him to invite Eazy-E to the studio, under the pretense of laying down vocals. But Dre—who was supposedly breaking ties with Suge at the time—left immediately

once Eazy was on his way. Not before making a chilling request:

“He dead yet?”

“Shoot him in the head… shoot him in the mouth,” Dre allegedly said, laughing.

Suge says he had Eazy on speakerphone the whole time.

The room went silent. Eazy-E, the man who gave Dr. Dre his first shot, was left stunned. Suge described the look on his face as one of devastation:

“One tear rolled down. Just one. Like it took an hour to hit the bottom of his cheek.”

This wasn’t just a betrayal—it was soul murder. Eazy-E had fed, housed, and launched Dre’s career. And now, according to Suge, Dre wanted him dead.

But Suge didn’t pull the trigger. Instead, he says, he sat down with Eazy and offered an olive branch—of sorts. They’d merge Ruthless and Death Row, cut out Jerry Heller, and build an empire. But it never

happened.

What did happen was Eazy signing over his artists. How willingly? That’s still up for debate.

Later, Jerry Heller would say Eazy was so furious afterward, he told him:

“I’m going to kill Suge Knight.”

To which Heller replied:

“We’re doing $10 million a month and you want to commit murder?”

Even Heller—decades later—admitted:

“You know something? I should’ve let him do it.”

The rabbit hole doesn’t stop there. In the same interview, Suge unleashed an arsenal of accusations—against Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent, and even Daz Dillinger.

Let’s break it down:

Suge claims Snoop lied about visiting Tupac in the hospital. According to him, Snoop showed up only to Suge’s guest house, cried, threw up, and refused to see Pac because “he hates me.” Tupac’s mother, Afeni

Shakur, allegedly chastised Snoop, telling him to “do the right thing.” Snoop, again, did not.

Then, in another story, Suge said when a Bad Boy affiliate was assaulted in retaliation for dissing Death Row, Snoop was the only one who didn’t join in. Suge claims even Dre got hands-on, suggesting graphic

involvement.

“Andre beat it up a little bit… you know what I mean.”

From there, Suge swerved into Snoop’s alleged fake ownership of Death Row Records. Suge claims Snoop never paid back the money owed, and the whole acquisition was a shady industry move.

“Why live in fear? Just pay me what you owe. You spending more on security than it would cost to make peace.”

Suge even warned Snoop he wouldn’t survive prison, saying:

“You ain’t built for this. Not on my watch.”

The shots didn’t stop. Suge rehashed the infamous In the Club video incident, where he and Mexican gang members pulled up on 50 Cent and Eminem. According to Suge, they “stood tall until the police came,”

but then got scared and called in helicopters.

He mocked Eminem:

“I ain’t a rapper. But I’m definitely too big to slap the s** out of. But I got little homies…”*

But perhaps the most disturbing part of this entire saga? The Eazy-E AIDS theory.

This isn’t the first time Suge flirted with the idea of Eazy’s death being intentional. His Jimmy Kimmel interview remains one of the most bizarre moments in television history.

“They got this stuff… they shoot you with blood from someone with AIDS. Slow death.”

The audience laughed. But the words hung in the air like poison.

Asked recently if he really believed that, Suge smiled and said:

“I’m not stupid. I ain’t incriminating myself.”

He then added:

“I never seen someone look that healthy and die that fast.”

Now, let’s rewind the clock.

When Eazy was first diagnosed in February 1995, he was hospitalized immediately. Within a month, he was dead. Many close to him said it was suspicious. He wasn’t visibly sick. His sudden deterioration was

unprecedented, and Suge’s comments haven’t helped clear the fog—they’ve made it thicker.

Back to the Dre connection: Suge insists Dr. Dre orchestrated the betrayal. He says he showed Eazy the call logs, let him listen to the tape, and even claims Dre told him:

“Beat him. Shoot him. Take pictures.”

Did it really happen? Was it dramatized? Or is this all part of Suge Knight’s vendetta?

There’s no way to verify Suge’s every claim. But it’s worth noting that Dre has never commented on this alleged phone call. No denials. No lawsuits. No interviews. Just silence. And in a culture where silence can

often be interpreted as truth, it speaks volumes.

Meanwhile, Suge also opened up about his strained relationship with Tupac, and how Dr. Dre’s refusal to testify at Snoop’s trial for murder started a ripple effect. Suge says the lawyers pleaded with Dre to help

clear Snoop’s name. Dre declined.

“Pac was furious. He said, ‘I’m lying for this dude, and he won’t even lie for me.’”

The betrayal started to rot the core. It was no longer about labels. It was personal.

Suge’s feud with Daz Dillinger also got airtime, with a rare moment of half-hearted apology:

“I’ve been bullying Daz for 30 years. I’m sorry. But he’s just a Snoop groupie.”

A second later? Back to mocking Daz’s girls and legacy.

So what is Suge Knight really doing with these interviews?

Is this a truth-telling redemption tour, or a strategic smear campaign aimed at rewriting the legacy of Snoop, Dre, and others who outlasted him?

Suge insists he’s doing this because he’s tired of lies. Because he wants the truth about Eazy-E, about Tupac, about Death Row to come out before he dies in a cell. And maybe there’s truth in that.

But what’s undeniable is that Suge Knight is still playing chess—even from a prison cell. And every story he tells moves a piece across the board. Some moves feel real. Others feel like checkmate in a game only he’s

playing.

Still… we’re all listening. Watching. Waiting.

Because if what he’s saying about Dre is true—if that call to kill Eazy-E really happened—then hip-hop’s greatest betrayal didn’t happen in the booth or in a courtroom. It happened on a phone line.

And it left one man crying in silence, while another left smiling.
