Here’s What Suge Knight Said
On Saturday, February 17, a new episode of Suge Knight’s podcast ‘Collect Call’ was released via YouTube. About four minutes into the episode, Knight shares his thoughts on the 66th Annual Grammy Awards. Additionally, the music mogul shared his praise for the women who dominated the event before explaining that more awards should be named after women.
About seventeen minutes into the episode, Knight addressed Dr. Dre and the Global Impact Award, named after Dre for the Grammys ceremony.
“You can have a man that’s part of that secret society, and they’re gonna give him an award — the Impact Award. The motherf****r that beat up more b*****s than anybody,” Knight said.
From there, the former Death Row label head compared Dr. Dre to Chris Brown.
“This man will get an award for beating up women. [But] Chris Brown is stripped from his crown — and not saying it was right why him and Rihanna got into it… But what I’m saying is this: he had a fight with one woman, or he beat up one woman, and they still are casting stones at him… They don’t let him come perform. They don’t let him win awards, but you can have an Impact Award with Andre [Dr. Dre.]”
Social Media Weighs In
Suge Knight’s perspective sparked additional conversation in The Shade Room’s comment section. Many Instagram users appeared to agree.
While Instagram user @ms_katie_baby added, “Y’all can hate the messenger and still agree that he told no lie 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️”
