Former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight has plenty of violent tales to tell, but Memphis Bleek is not so sure about some of them. The one-time Hip-Hop mogul has earned his feared reputation from allegedly dangling Vanilla Ice over a ledge to assaulting Mark Anthony Bell with Tupac. However, New York rapper Memphis Bleek is calling one tale into question.
The Old Suge Knight’s Interview Resurfaces, Memphis Bleek Questions
While Suge is now behind bars for a 2015 hit and run, his old interviews still circulate today. In a 2001 interview on Last Call with Carson Daly, Suge speaks on an alleged incident involving Jay-Z. “I never met him,” he starts. “The only thing I know about Jay-Z is that he came to LA. a few times and Snoop and Dre told him, when you on the West Coast, you got a song for me you ain’t gotta worry about nothing.”
“Next thing I know, he was taped up, robbed, and gagged,” Suge said, also laughing under his breath. Strangely, Suge goes on to compliment the Brooklyn rapper. “I think Jay-Z is a great guy because he created what he does. I do like Jay-Z, honestly.”
Earlier this week (Feb. 2), a Twitter user posted the clip of Suge on Carson Daly. The fan tagged Memphis Bleek under the clip with Suge Knight, asking “true or [cap emoji] fam?”
The ”Is That Your Chick’Chick’ rapper responded within hours, flatly denying the story. “”Every cap in the world [laughing emojis],” he tweeted with a series of hat emojis.
Memphis Bleek And Jay-Z: A Long Time Friendship
Bleek was one of the first artists, who signed with Roc-A-Fella records during its initial rise. Growing up in the same part of Brooklyn as Jay, he’s maintained his loyalty to Hov faithfully over the years.
It seems the appreciation is mutual for the East Coast icons. Last year (Jul. 21), Jay gifted Memphis a diamond-encrusted Roc-A-Fella chain. The gift then celebrated the 25th anniversary of Reasonable Doubt, Jay’s 1996 debut album.
Do you believe Suge’s story? Or does it sound like pure fiction?
