Suge Knight Claims Prince Engineered A Dispute With Diddy
Suge Knight might be in prison, but that hasn’t stopped him from sharing stories that shake up the history of hip-hop. Recently, he gave an interview where he made an intriguing claim that the legendary singer Prince was behind an unexpected and tense meeting between Knight and his longtime rival, Diddy. For those who aren’t familiar, Suge Knight and Diddy had one of the most famous feuds in the hip-hop world during the 1990s. Their record labels, Death Row Records and Bad Boy Records were central to the famous East Coast vs. West Coast rivalry, a time that greatly influenced rap music and culture.
So, what really happened one night when Suge unexpectedly found himself face to face with Diddy. According to Suge, the encounter took place at The Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood. He remembers someone approaching him with a surprising invitation, Prince wanted him to come watch his show, and even had a reserved table for him. Curious, Suge left his friends behind and went to the venue alone, only to find Diddy, Nas, and others sitting at the same table. Suge felt it was a clever setup, believing Prince was behind it. “Prince is the coolest gangster in the world,” Suge joked, recalling how the music icon played his guitar on stage before looking over at him with a knowing smile. “He must have been upset with Puffy since he put me right at that table.”
The scene sounds like something out of a movie, two of hip-hop’s biggest figures, who had just come out of a heated rivalry, forced to be in the same place while Prince provided the music. Was this an experiment? A way to see how they would react? Or just Prince enjoying a little mischief? Given Prince’s mysterious nature, it could easily be any or all of those things. While the specifics of that night remain unclear, Suge Knight’s stories continue to engage listeners, showing us that the history of hip-hop is full of surprises, often involving unexpected players, sometimes wearing purple and playing a guitar.

BluntBrad Jr. finds calm ambition in the laid-back shine of “It’s All Good”
BluntBrad Jr.’s new single, “It’s All Good,” sounds like a steady handshake and a deep breath. It’s warm, honest, and not trying to be cool. There isn’t any fancy production hiding behind layers of polish here. Instead, the song is all about being honest. The song is laid-back and offers up the shine of a studio recording for the feeling of a candid introduction, a musical “hello” from someone who wants to be heard for who they are.
“It’s All Good” is a very human way to be hopeful at its core. The feeling is simple and real, like someone who won’t let little things stand in the way of their goals. The words to the song sound like friends talking to each other. They discuss their goals, their drive, and their need for attention in a way that is honest and not needy.
The production backs this up by making sure that everything is open and airy. The instruments are simple and easy to understand, so BluntBrad Jr.’s voice and message come through clearly. The song feels real because it doesn’t have a lot of extra stuff in it. You’re not hearing a heavily constructed persona; you’re hearing someone at the start of a journey, eager to make their mark.
