AceShowbiz - Akon plans to launch legal action against Suge Knight over his recent claim. The "Right Now" singer said he will file a defamation lawsuit against the Death Row co-founder for accusing him of raping a minor.
"I need to make it very clear that I absolutely deny these outrageous false and disgusting claims Suge Knight made on his podcast about me," the 50-year-old told TMZ Hip Hop. "I've never called, received, or had any contact with Suge Knight since he has been incarcerated. My voice you heard on his podcast was as a soundbite previously recorded from an interview I did with DJ Vlad 3 years ago regarding Suge Knight in 2009."
"I've never been a guest on Suge Knight's podcast. I always believe in building positivity into the world and my actions and legacy have spoken to that," he added. "It's unfortunate that I have to defend myself from these lies and I will be involving my legal team in filing a defamation lawsuit against Mr. Knight, my prayers for him will still continue."
Suge brought up the allegations on his new "Collect Call" podcast. "I wasn't going to bring it up," he began. "[But] one of my homegirls, she was a hustler. She had a little sister, 13 years old. And her best friend was 12 years old. She's in the car with him. You and Detail call her [Suge's homegirl]."
"And she said, 'I got my little sister and her best friend with me.' I said, 'Well, then stop by for a second,' " he recalled. "She go by y'all hotel, in y'all room, and she gets a call. It was the dudes she met at the hotel when she was coming to see you muthaf**kas."
The 58-year-old went on to share, "He said, 'Come by, just for 20 minutes.' [And she said] 'I can't do it right now, I gotta take my little sister home, with her friend. I'll be back in about an hour.' The Compton native then recounted, "He said, 'Come by in 20 minutes, I got a big payday for you.' You, Akon, said, 'Go ahead. You can leave your little sister and her friend right here. We can order them something to eat.' "
"She goes to the next room … she says she comes back in about 35 minutes. When she gets back in the room, her little sister and that other little girl don't wanna eat," Suge elaborated. "They look scared. And they're crying. When she gets back in the car with them, they tell her, 'Akon, you f**ked the little girl, 13 - Detail f**ked the little girl, 12 years old. Y'all raped them.' "
"So when she told me, I pulled up on her, and she said she's going to the police to put you muthaf**kas in jail for rape," he added. "I said, 'Nah, we don't do that, telling to the police. I'll deal with it. I promise you that.' So I was trying to catch you muthaf**kas about that situation."
