Suge Knight’s lawsuit against rapper Kanye West has been delayed following a serious car accident Knight was involved in last month. The former Death Row CEO was forced to miss a court date due to his injuries.
“He was in a pretty serious car accident. He lost a couple of teeth, he’s in pain, and he can’t speak,” Knight’s lawyer, Marc Brumer, told the Miami New Times.
Knight is suing West because he was shot and robbed at an event West hosted in 2005 at Miami’s Shore Club, a club which is now under foreclosure.

While Knight may be injured now his lawyer is very keen on fulfilling Knight’s lawsuit against West.
“[Suge Knight is] a very adept businessman,” Brumer explained. “He’s a mess, but he’s sharp. Nobody likes Kanye West anymore. Even though he’s still selling millions of records, everybody’s sick of him.”
Knight is hoping the lawsuit will help cover medical bills that resulted from the Shore Club incident. West has yet to speak out publicly in regards to the lawsuit.

UPDATE: NME reports that US District Court Judge Patricia Seitz has set a December 6 trial date for Knight’s suit against Kanye West. Initial reports say that the former manager for Tupac Shakur, DJ Quik and others is seeking around one million dollars for damages and losses.
