Suge Knight sues Chris Brown over 2014 club shooting

The former Rap Music mogul and Tupac manager who is currently in Jail sued embattled R&B star Chris Brown and the owners of 1Oak nightclub Monday after he was shot seven times at a party almost two years ago.

The founder of Death Row Records filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles as he awaits trial on charges he mowed down two men outside a Compton burger stand last year, killing one of them.

Knight, 51, claims in his filing that Brown, 27, "was a known gang associate with a history of violence and had a well-documented track record of hosting events (and) parties in which violence frequently erupted."

The former hip hop heavyweight claims Brown and his co-defendants acted negligently when they hosted Brown's unofficial pre-MTV VMA Awards event at the West Hollywood hotspot in August 2014 and failed to screen attendees for firearms.
