Suge Knight Slams Rival Diddy Over Prison Sentence
In a stunning new interview from jail with The Art Of Dialogue, former Death Row executive Suge Knight has unleashed a blistering critique of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ recent 50-month prison sentence. Knight, who is currently serving time for a 2015 hit-and-run, did not hold back, suggesting his longtime rival received preferential treatment that confirms the worst fears about a two-tiered justice system.
“The Deal of the Centuries”
Knight firmly believes Diddy’s sentence for transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution is shockingly lenient, labeling it “the deal of the centuries.” He attributed the light sentence to Diddy’s connections, stating, “Puffy has strong ties with the government, with the feds. And anybody else would have been cooked, done.”
A Tale of Two Sentencings
Drawing a sharp contrast with his own legal battle, Knight highlighted the different standards applied. “I wasn’t allowed to speak, I wasn’t allowed to do nothing,” he remarked. Meanwhile, he watched as Diddy was permitted to address the court and even send a letter to the judge before the sentence was handed down.
Knight Mocks Diddy’s “Campaign”
Knight also took aim at the extensive publicity efforts from Diddy’s team, which included a documentary-style video praising his character. He described it as an unprecedented “campaign” more fitting for a presidential candidate than a defendant in a criminal case.
“Only thing I was waiting on was the fact that I was waiting on him to bring out the DJ and start playing music and let him do what he do best,” Knight quipped sarcastically. “Dance and shake that a** and end up with no time.”
