Ray J is reportedly in talks with members of the Trump Administration to spring Suge Knight from prison. According to the Daily Mail, an insider close to the Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood star says he wants Donald Trump to pardon Knight because the former Death Row CEO has learned his lesson.
The source reportedly explained Ray J was inspired by his ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian, who was successful in getting clemency for Alice Johnson, a black woman convicted of drug trafficking in 1996 and released last year.
But the source added Ray J is worried a meeting with Trump would tarnish his reputation within the black community.
“The people around Ray J keep telling him that the fallout with African Americans for meeting with Trump could be catastrophic to his career,” the insider reportedly said. “Especially if he shows up at a political rally.”
Knight is currently serving a 28-year sentence for manslaughter after he struck and killed Terry Carter with his vehicle on the Straight Outta Compton movie set in January 2015.
He recently put Ray J in control of all Death Row dealings. However, Knight denied he handed over his life rights.
“I just heard about the article being released regarding that Ray J has all my rights television, movies, books, you know all that type of stuff,” he said. “He don’t. Ray J is not just a friend of mine, that’s little brother, that’s family.
“And I respect Ray J and his business dealings, that’s why I choose him as one of the guys to deal with the music side of the future for as Death Row Records, anything to do Death Row.”

Trump can’t pardon a state inmate. This is fake stupid article. Trump can only pardon federal inmates and dug is a California state prisoner.
Fuck suge knight ! Let his ass rot in jail ! I’d rather see these celebrities use their connexions to free some political prisoners or some inmates wrongfully convicted to the death penalty but some mothafuckin suge knight who deliberately runned over a man with his car and killed him ! And I don’t even get into the 2Pac conspiracy theories…
Marion ‘Suge’ Knight is a KILLER with a mile long Criminal Record and History of Stealing from Artists, Extorting People, Hiring Criminals to Cause Crimes Against People, & driving DR DRE’s label DEATHROW (after his meteoric RUTHLESS success) into the ground, causing DRE, SNOOP, DAZ, KURUPT, DOGG POUND, LADY OF RAGE, NATE DOGG, and All to leave! No ‘hero’ here, NOT a good person at all, mistreated his partner, investors, artists, producers and writers that created the success! Fck Ray-gay and anything thinking this DEVIL is worth anything, but stories on WHAT NOT TO DO IN BUSINESS!
Ray J is a sucka fuckboy plain and simple for this move, trying to free a nigga that murdered a man, bullied and extorted artists and was a cancer for the whole rap game
Ewww
So many innocent people still serving lengthy sentences yet whoever this guy is wants to try and free a washed up murderer… It’s gonna be controversial asf if the Administration tells him to bug off but I hope they do lol
Let that Ass sit and die in Prison… Oh now you need God! Get the hell out of here.Your a bully! Burn in Hell! You have killed and hurt too many people.
over twenty years in prison for a murder as they say. Christ, where was the lenient celebrity judge with the lenient celebrity sentence.
suge is where he actually should have been since 1994. Without his violent antics tupac and biggie would be alive and kicking today and Death Row would be the biggest hip hop label in the universe. Let him rot. He is exactly where he’s supposed to be.
Why do we always support the bad people? Let him serve his time . It’s called karma. It will always catch up with you in the end.
This is confoundingly retarded. Jesus Christ.
You don’t know what confounding means and you, of all people, shouldn’t be using the word “retarded.”
