Suge Knight's Son Responds to Eminem's Diss Track: "An Honourable Man Doesn't Kick the Defenceless"

Eminem's diss track sparks a fiery response from Suge Knight's son. Learn more about the back-and-forth battle and the tracks involved.

A Family Honor Under Attack

Suge Knight's son has stepped into the spotlight, firing back at a recent diss track by Eminem. Suge J. Knight made his feelings clear, stating, “an honourable man doesn’t kick the defenceless.” This reaction comes after the leak of Eminem's track ‘Smack You,’ which has been stirring up controversy since it was recorded in the mid-2000s but only recently released.

The Buzz Around ‘Smack You’

The track opens with a sample of 2Pac’s classic ‘Bomb First (My Second Reply)’ and dives into some heavy themes. Eminem hints at Suge Knight's alleged involvement in the murders of both 2Pac and Biggie Smalls. With such serious accusations flying, it's no wonder the response from the Knight family was swift and sharp.

Currently, Suge Knight is serving a 28-year sentence in California, having pleaded no contest to a voluntary manslaughter charge related to a hit-and-run incident in 2015. This backdrop makes the diss even more poignant, as Suge Knight is unable to defend himself directly.

A Son's Defense

In response, Suge J. Knight has dropped his own diss track, titled ‘Ocean Krwi,’ teaming up with Polish group Elita Kaliska, along with Gorzki and WWRD. He aims to set the record straight, even claiming that Diddy knows more about 2Pac’s murder than he has let on.

Knight’s Strong Words

Suge J. Knight didn't hold back in his statements. He commented on the timing of Eminem's track release, questioning why it emerged now when his father can't defend himself.

“An honorable man doesn’t kick the defenseless,” he emphasized, asserting that he felt the need to stand up for his father's reputation. “If Em claims that this song is from two decades ago and declared in it that he will reveal the alleged truth about my father’s connection to the attack on Pac, then where is his truth? Maybe he will finally have the courage to confess it?”

He underscored that while he addresses online hate and rumors about his father in his music, he firmly believes Suge Knight should not be blamed for 2Pac’s death.

The Ongoing Feud

The feud between Suge J. Knight and Eminem has been ongoing for years. In fact, back in 2019, Knight expressed his reluctance to release a diss track, calling it “too disrespectful.” Yet, the current circumstances seem to have compelled him to take a stand, determined to defend his family legacy.

Suge Knight Senior, still a significant figure in the industry despite his incarceration, has claimed that 2Pac was considering signing Aaliyah to Death Row Records at one point. He has also been vocal about various artists not stepping up during critical moments in the industry, showing that the ripple effects of these conflicts extend far beyond personal grievances.
