Plus, mogul’s feathers ruffled over Tupac comment at nightclub.
A lawyer who represented Death Row Records mogul Suge Knight’s is seeking to void a $130 million judgment against his client after claiming new evidence shows that the plaintiff, singer Lydia Harris, and her imprisoned drug-dealing husband, Michael, allegedly duped a Los Angeles judge into ruling against the rap mogul.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Suge’s ex-lawyer Dermot Givens has filed a motion claiming that Harris hid from the court that she had filed for bankruptcy five years before suing Knight and that she never claimed an ownership stake in Death Row during that legal proceeding.
The motion also alleges that recent sworn testimony by the couple shows that Michael Harris was the true party of interest in her lawsuit against Knight.
Michael Harris sued Knight in 1996 claiming that his seed money launched Death Row, and was awarded a $300,000 out-of-court settlement. Lydia Harris filed a separate suit in 2002 claiming that she and Knight started the label together and that he cheated her out of millions in profits.
In other Suge news, the New York Daily News claims a witness at Las Vegas’ Ghost Bar on New Year’s Eve saw him about to go off on some dude who suggested – rather loudly – that he was responsible for the death of Tupac Shakur.
A woman was sitting on Suge’s lap when a guy at the next table yelled: “Isn’t that the guy who shot Tupac?” The witness says, “Suge pushed the girl off his lap and gave the heckler such an evil look he thought it was advisable to leave the club.”
