Suge Jacob Knight — the son of famed gangsta rap producer and incarcerated felon Marion “Suge” Knight — appears to have declared his support for former President Donald Trump, writing in a recent Instagram post, “Free my nigga Trump.”
Knight, a real estate agent, reality TV performer, and rapper under the name “Suge Jacob,” posted an apparently AI-generated photo of Trump as a black man.
Suge Knight is currently serving a nearly three-decade sentence for voluntary manslaughter in RJ Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego. The rap mogul pleaded no contest in 2018 after he crashed his car into two men during production of the movie Straight Outta Compton, killing Terry Carter, with whom he co-founded Heavyweight Records.
While promoting his VH1 series Love & Listings, Knight’s son said he keeps in regular contact with his father in prison — writing letters “every day” and competing with each other to do the most push-ups.
During his administration, President Trump pardoned some prominent rap artists who had been convicted or were serving time in prison.
As Breitbart News reported, rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black were both on the list of the more than 100 pardons released by President Trump on his last full day in office.
In addition, Trump pardoned Death Row Records’ co-founder and convicted felon Michael “Harry O” Harris. His commutation came after Snoop Dogg — who was not a Trump supporter — reportedly lobbied the White House for his release.
