Suge Knight Slams Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg for Not 'Stepping Up' and Speaking Out After Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Arrest

Former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight called out several high profile figures in the music industry for not speaking out against Sean "Diddy" Combs following his arrest on human trafficking charges.

"I look at it real plain and simple: ain’t no whistleblower," he said during a Tuesday, September 24, phone interview with NewsNation's Chris Cuomo, . "The facts is there but, right now, I don’t care if it’s T.I., I don’t care if it’s Rick Ross, I don’t care if it’s [Jay-Z], I don’t care if it’s Snoop [Dogg], I don’t care if it’s [The] Game, I don’t care if it’s Drake, nobody is stepping up."

The 59-year-old inmate, who is serving a 28-year sentence for killing a man in a hit-and-run incident, alleged those artists "knew what was going on."

As OK! previously reported, Combs was arrested on September 16 in connection with an ongoing human trafficking investigation.

Prosecutors alleged he was running a criminal "enterprise" which "engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other activities, sex trafficking, forced labor, interstate transportation for purposes of prostitution, coercion and enticement to engage in prostitution, narcotics offenses, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice."

He was denied bail twice and is expected to remain in jail until his trial.

While being incarcerated is always dangerous, Knight also suggested Combs could potentially have a target on his back from other inmates at the the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn who want to prove themselves behind bars.

Later in the interview, Knight told Cuomo the disgraced music producer wasn't working on his own. He alleged the 54-year-old was likely "taught from people before him, and he did it to the younger people after him."

"This been going on in the industry for a whole bunch of years, for decades and at the same time. You know, nobody wanted to be true, and it shouldn’t have to be true," he said.
