Episode 18 - Responsibility

Author: Breakbeat Media May 30, 2024 Duration: 25:05
In this episode of Collect Call, Suge Knight addresses the importance of taking responsibility for one’s actions and decisions. He admits that he did not listen to Tupac’s concerns about the use of off-duty police officers to do security, and how they were used to infiltrate and destroy the Black Panther movement. In light of the recent arrest of Keefe D for the murder of Tupac, this raises some important questions about the FBI’s COINTELPRO program and whether the government targeted Tupac and the hip-hop industry for some of the same reasons that the Black Panthers and other Black leaders were taken down. Suge reveals that he recently learned for the first time that his former longtime business partner, Jimmy Iovine, was wearing a wire and was trying to entrap him when he came to visit him in prison in the late 1990’s. Suge goes on to weigh in on the latest news with Sean “Diddy” Combs and says that he doesn’t expect to see Puffy in handcuffs anytime soon because of Puffy’s role as an FBI informant. Suge provides another stunning revelation about Iovine and Interscope Records’ involvement in paying off Puffy’s former assistant, Capricorn Clark, to keep her quiet about the abuse she claims she endured.
