Why The Feud Began Suge
Knight
Reasons
Suge Knight was very angry with Puff Daddy for two reasons. The first reason was that Suge Knight's close friend Tupac Shakur also known as 2Pac was shot and Suge Knight and some other people were blamed for the shooting on Puff Daddy and the Notorious B.I.G. The second reason was that Suge Knight was growing increasingly angry with Puff Daddy leader of Bad Boy Records appearing in his own artists video's, both rapping as well as acting. At an award ceremony in 1995 Suge Knight received an award and said ""If you don't want to have to worry about your companies C.E.O been all in the video's, been all up in that then come to Death Row"". Although these were just words Puff Daddy took them offensively.
Within a couple of months it was record label war. Bad Boy Records were out selling every other label including Death Row Records, until Suge Knight signed 2Pac the most controversial artist since Ice- T back in 1991.
When 2Pac joined Death Row Records he got straight to work releasing hits left, right and centre. Leaving Death Row Records leading the war between the two sides. However, on September 6th 1996 tragedy was to strike. 2Pac and Suge Knight were riding home in a car after they had just been to see Mike Tyson fight when 2Pac was gunned down leaving the rap star in critical condition. On September 13th. 1996 The feud between the two biggest rap labels was to end, 2Pac was dead and in months to come saw Suge Knight get arrested for G.B.H on a man and sentenced to nine years in prison. Death Row Records was no more.
In 2001 Suge Knight was released from prison on parole. Suge Knight's first protocol was to restart his label up again called "Tha Row" who knows what the future will bring. There might well be another row with Bad Boy Records only time will tell.
