In the first episode of Knight’s new podcast, Collect Call With Suge Knight, the producer made a wild accusation about the “Bartender” hitmaker reportedly engaging in inappropriate conduct with underage girls and going into detail.
Knight insinuated he wasn’t going to talk about “it” until Akon brought up their beef in a 2020 interview on Vlad TV, claiming it stemmed from music business drama involving Ray J and producer Detail.
But the convicted producer denies Akon’s story, stating their beef started when Akon reportedly sexually assaulted his friend’s 13-year-old sister, along with the young girl’s friend.
“One of my homegirls, she was a hustler,” he started. “She had a little sister, 13 years old; her best friend was 12 years old.”
Knight alleged Akon and Detail continued calling his friend, who told them she would be over after she dropped off her sister and her sister’s friend.
When Knight’s friend showed up at the hotel room with Akon, she got a call telling her to come to a different room for about 20 minutes for a “big payday.”
Akon reportedly told the girl that she could leave her 13-year-old sister and her 12-year-old friend in the room while she stepped out, and they’d order them food.
About 35 minutes later, Knight’s friend found her sister and the friend looking distraught and unwilling to eat. In the car, the girls began crying.
Knight stopped his friend from going to the police and assured her he’d handle it.
Akon denied the claims on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “The world knows a lie when they hear it. It’s unfortunate that this man is going out like this. It’s sad and seriously embarrassing. Regardless of our history, I’m still going to be praying for him.”
