Suge Knight Sued For Child Support


Former owner of Death Row Records, Suge Knight, is being sued for child support by the mother of his four-year-old child, Taz Maree Knight.

Tammie Renell Hawkins filed papers in Los Angeles County Superior court seeking support for Taz Knight, who was born in May 2005, but according to TMZ, by California law, support is based on the presumed income of the person coughing up the dough. According to documents, Suge's net income is a little over $1,200 a month, and therefore the most Hawkins can get monthly is $302.

The last couple of years have not been kind to the former rap mogul. Suge was once the head of Death Row Records, which at its peak earned over $100 million annually, and launched the careers of such artists Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Tupac Shakur, and Lady Of Rage. In 2006 though he was forced to file for bankruptcy, and eventually lost the record label.

The once most-feared man in the music industry has also been the butt of jokes, and target of shots from rappers. Recently in a freestyle, California rapper Game taunted Suge, saying: "It's 2010 and I said f*ck Suge! Everybody in this b*tch know what Game 'bout/ Suge took the same route...Let's vote, 2010, n*gga f*ck Death Row!"
