In this clip, Akon detailed Suge Knight hounding him several times over the course of a few weeks for $12,500 he was owed after Akon signed a producer named Detail. Akon explained that he assured Suge and Ray-J, who was partners with Suge at the time, that he would get them the money after Detail dropped his next project. Feeling that the situation was squared away, Akon was surprised when Suge brought up the money again at a party in 2009. He explained that Suge brought some other guys with them, and it was obvious that one of the men had a gun on them. When the situation started to get tense, Akon's then-road manager stepped in and told Suge that he could go in the bathroom and fight if he wanted to threaten people. At that point, another person in Akon's team knocked out the guy with the gun, and his then-road manager knocked out Suge. To hear more about the aftermath, hit the above clip.
