According to the latest reports, Suge went to confront producer Dr. Dre for not asking permission to feature him in the flick.

Sources connected to Suge tell TMZ … he got word he was included in the film, and wanted to talk to Dre about how he was being portrayed. As we’ve reported … Suge’s friend Terry Carter helped set up the meeting. As for what Suge was so worried about — a new trailer for the movie was just released, and there is a character whupping someone’s ass in a studio … who looks just like Suge. (TMZ)

According to reports, Knight had his bail review hearing pushed back to March 20 this week.

Knight, 49, appeared healthy and sipped from a cup of water a sheriff’s deputy gave him while he sat handcuffed in orange jail garments in a Compton courthouse Monday morning. The former head of Death Row Records has been in custody since being arrested on suspicion of running over two men with his car, killing one of them. (Los Angeles Times)

Suge appeared in court last Tuesday (February 3) to address his criminal charges.

Former rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight pleaded not guilty Tuesday to murder charges in a fatal hit-and-run incident before complaining of chest pains in court and being taken to the hospital. Knight, 49, stood in a defendant’s box next to his attorneys and intently read the complaint against him as the hearing opened. (CNN)

A police spokesperson confirmed his no-bail hold last week.

Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman Nicole Nishida told The Times that Knight’s bail was pulled for the following reasons: “Possible flight risk, three-strike candidate, possible witness intimidation issues and his criminal past.” Knight is due to make his first court appearance Tuesday, Blatt said.
