Judge throws out Suge Knight’s Kanye lawsuit
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 8 November 2010
A judge in Miami has thrown out a previously reported lawsuit in which one time hip hop mogul Suge Knight, former supremo of the Death Row Records label, claimed Kanye West should be held liable for injuries he suffered during a shooting at a Miami Beach night club back in 2005, because the rapper was host of the party where the shooting took place.
The rather optimistic Knight sued for a million, claiming West had a duty of care to him to ensure there was sufficient security at the club to stop a gun from being taken into the premises. But a judge threw the case out last Thursday, saying there was insufficient evidence that the shooting had been preventable.
