Police are investigating Marion “Suge” Knight’s alleged involvement in an assault on Dr. Dre during the Vibe Awards last month in Santa Monica, California. Police are investigating Knight’s possible ties to the assailant, Jimmy “James” Johnson.
Santa Monica police have been interviewing witnesses in an attempt to determine Knight’s actions before and after the event.
The Corrections Department is also involved in the investigation, seeking to determine if Knight violated his probation.
The conditions of Knight’s parole bar him from having any contact with Dr. Dre.
Johnson is caught on tape allegedly assaulting Dr. Dre during the awards ceremony at the Santa Monica airport.
In the resulting fracas, police claim Johnson was stabbed by G-Unit rapper Young Buck.
After several days of consulting with attorneys last month, Young Buck turned himself in to Santa Monica, California police to face charges of attempted murder.
Knight has repeatedly denied any involvement in the incident and videotape of the melee shows Knight sitting calm and collected during the brawl.
According to reports, Dr. Dre met with Santa Monica police on Monday (November 29) to demand that Johnson be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Dr. Dre and Knight formed Death Row Records in the early 1990’s.
After several chart topping albums by Dre, Snoop Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound and Tupac Shakur, Dre left due to tensions with Knight.
After a bitter, public departure, Dre went on to form Aftermath Entertainment, home to Eminem, 50 Cent and G-Unit, Game, Eve, Busta Rhymes Stat Quo and others.
