Suge Knight was sentenced to 28 years in prison on Thursday (September 20). The sentence was handed down to the former Death Row CEO after his legal team struck a plea deal with prosecutors.
Knight was arrested in 2015 after he struck and killed Terry Carter with his vehicle. He pleaded to one count of voluntary manslaughter and admitted he used his truck as a deadly weapon.
Consequently, the 53-year-old former music mogul could spend the latter part of his life behind bars.

Twitter couldn’t help but turn the situation into a meme opportunity, especially when it came to Tupac Shakur. Knight was driving the car when ‘Pac was gunned down on a Las Vegas street in 1996.
While many agree it’s Knight’s karma, others were surprised by the seemingly harsh sentence.

I just imagined Vanilla Ice sittin on the balcony in one of his renovated multimillion dollar Florida Mansions watching the sunset, sipping an 18-year-old scotch with extra ice, smoking a Cuban cigar and checking his phone and seeing that Suge Knight is facing 28 years in prison.
