Suge Knight Was Suing Kanye West, But Had To Delay Due To Car Accident

So here's a sad story: Suge Knight, the architect/goon/iron-fist that helped create the west coast hip-hop scene (or at least make it more menacing) was in the process of suing Kanye West, but had to reschedule court hearings (which were scheduled for this week) because he got in a serious car accident that knocked his teeth out. Knight is suing West because he was shot and robbed at a party Kanye hosted in 2005, and Knight is hoping to recoup the medical expenses following said shooting/robbing. 

Here's what Knight's lawyer, Marc Brumer, told the Miami New Times:

"[Suge Knight is] a very adept businessman,” Brumer explained. “He's a mess, but he's sharp. Nobody likes Kanye West anymore. Even though he's still selling millions of records, everybody's sick of him."

Am I alone in sort of feeling bad for Suge? I mean, dude used to be able to hang people out of windows to get what he wants, and now he's stuck suing rappers to pay medical bills. How the once mighty muscle has fallen. [HipHopDX]
