Daughter Of Hit-And-Run Victim Calls Suge Knight A “Cold Hard Murderer”
More information is emerging surrounding the recent fatal hit-and-run involving former Death Row Records CEO Marion “Suge” Knight and it seems to conflict with initial reports about the incident. New witnesses and information are coming forward that would imply Suge intentionally hit the men with his truck, reports DailyMail. According to Lt. John Corina of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department detective’s unit, it, “looks like [Suge] drove backwards and struck the victims and drove forwards and struck them again.” People who witnessed the incident also agreed the hit-and-run did not look accidental. “The people we talked to say it looked like it was an intentional act,” he added. Despite initial reports that Suge and the victim Terry Carter, 55, were friends, Carter’s daughter, Meredith, is denying those claims and saying this incident was nothing short of a killing. “This is cold murder,” said Carter. “[Suge] is a cold hard murderer, and my dad was a victim. [Suge] is the most evil person in the world.” In addition, Dr. Dre is claiming he never asked Suge to come to the set to make amends as claimed by Knight, according to TMZ. As previously reported, Suge alleges he initially went to the promotional shoot for Straight Outta Compton after getting word that Dr. was on hand and wanted to squash their long-standing beef. According to witnesses, when Suge arrived an altercation ensued with two staff members. Knight then jumped in his red truck to flee the scene and struck two individuals, Carter and actor Cle “Bone” Sloan, as he made his exit. Sloan suffered non-life threatening injuries. Knight eventually turned himself in to the West Hollywood police station later that night. He is being held in a downtown L.A. jail. His bail is set at $2 million.

Jay-Z to Acquire Scandinavian Music Streaming Company for $56 Million
Hip-hop star Jay-Z is buying a Scandinavian music streaming company for $56 million to add to a business empire that has spanned clothing and sports bars. Project Panther Bidco Ltd, a company controlled by the 45-year-old rapper, said on Friday it had agreed to buy Sweden-listed Aspiro for 464 million Swedish crowns ($56 million) in cash. Shares in Aspiro, which runs music streaming service WiMP, leapt 59 percent in early trading to the bid level of 1.05 crowns per share. Jay-Z, real name Shawn Corey Carter, is one of the world’s best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 100 million records. Forbes estimated last year that his net worth was $520 million. Married to pop star Beyonce, Jay-Z has had a number of business interests, including 40/40 Club sports bars and Rocawear clothing. His mix of music and entrepreneurial interests mirrors that of other rappers, including De Dre, who sold his Beats headphones business to Apple, and 50 Cent, who sold his vitamin water business to Coca-Cola. Project Panther said it had followed the development of Aspiro for some time, believing it to be “an innovative high-quality company with strong future growth potential”. Norwegian media house Schibsted, Aspiro’s main shareholder, said it had accepted the offer, while Aspiro’s board said it was united in recommending the bid, virtually ensuring its success. Schibsted owns around 75 percent of Streaming Media AS, which in turn owns about 76 percent of Aspiro.
