Was Suge Knight tricked into going to the set of "Straight Outta Compton" on January 29 and purposely provoked by rivals? Knight, co-founder of Death Row Records, was sad to be angry that he was being portrayed by R. Marcos Taylor in the NWS bio-pic, according to Bouncer Chronicles. Knight felt he was owed money by his former Death Row Records artist Dr Dre as well as Ice Cube, who are both producers on his film.
According to a source, someone called Knight and said "come down to the set, we'll have a sit down. He arrived and he is told Ice Cube and Dre are not there and he is not allowed on the movie set. He was played." They wanted Suge out of the way and they figured they could provoke him and violate his parole. It worked as Knight is now on jail on $10 million dollars in bail money and charged with murder, attempted murder and hit and run.
