Former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight can’t seem to stay out of trouble even as he sits in jail pending his murder trial. Now Suge Knight is being accused of threatening the life of Straight Outta Compton director F. Gary Gray over his portrayal in the film.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, the the LA County Grand Jury indictment reads, “On or about August 8, 2014, Suge … threatened to commit a crime which would result in death and great bodily injury to Felix Gary Gray.”
The 52 year-old Suge is accused of threatening Gray’s life in a text message while the film was being shot in August 2014.
The alleged threat on the famed director’s life came just months before Suge was charged with murder over the death Terry Carter after running him over in a parking lot in Compton in 2015.
Suge will be arraigned on the threat charge on Thursday.
Some of F. Gary Gray’s other directorial credits include Friday, Set It Off, The Negotiator and The Fate of the Furious. Gray broke into the industry directing videos and some of his classic clips include Ice Cube’s “It Was A Good Day,” TLC’s “Waterfalls,” Rick Ross’ “Super High” and Jay-Z’s “Show Me What You Got.”
