Suge Knight Addresses Diddy's Sex Trafficking Trial: 'Tell The Real Truth, And Bring Everybody Accountable'
Source: Kevork Djansezian / Getty As we enter the fourth week of Diddy's sex trafficking and racketeering case, many of Diddy's former acquaintances have been put on the stand, and now one of his biggest enemies is speaking out. Suge Knight spoke to ABC News, and despite the two being on opposite sides and catalysts behind the decades-old East Coast-West Coast beef, he's not putting all the blame on Diddy for his sexual behaviors, claiming others were involved but falling short of naming anyone. 'If you're going to make Puffy answer, make everyone answer,' Knight began. 'Change the theme of the culture of the problems in Hip-Hop. I think it'd be a great thing to let Puffy tell his truth. Tell the real truth, and bring everybody accountable.' Knight adds that Diddy's freak offs may have become public knowledge in 2023 due to Cassie's lawsuit, but they had been happening long before and were an open secret in the Hip-Hop world. 'Everybody knew that,' Knight said. 'Puffy didn't just pop in the industry and say, 'hey, I want to have sex with everybody.' I mean, we don't have enough time to name all the names.' Suge Knight speaks out about Sean 'Diddy' Combs sex trafficking case. — ABC News (@ABC) June 2, 2025 Knight, who's currently serving a 28-year sentence for a fatal hit and run in 2015, has been mentioned 50 times in Diddy's trial. Most recently, he was a topic of discussion when Diddy's former assistant Capricorn Clark took the stand. She revealed that once Diddy found out that she used to work for Knight, her new boss told her he'd kill her if anything sketchy happened. Diddy's lawyer Marc Agnifilo pressed Clark on why she'd continue to work for someone who was allegedly so dangerous, but Knight points out that it's because of how much power Diddy had. Knight said he felt bad for Clark and applauded her for her ambition and desire to succeed in the entertainment industry. 'A lot of people might say, well, Capricorn could have did anything else she wanted to do. She did try,' Knight said. 'If you go get a job at Universal and Puffy makes a phone call, you're not getting that job. If you go get a job at a counter agency or in the movie business and Puff make that call, your career is over.' Even with their long-standing beef, Knight doesn't think prosecutors should take 'Puffy and lock him up and throw away the key,' because he thinks he can 'do so much good right now.' Knight advises that he take the stand to tell the truth and take a plea deal, which he already turned down ahead of the trial. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Akademiks TV (@djakademikstv) Knight also turned heads recently during another phone interview with Piers Morgan, where he claimed Diddy and Ray J were romantically involved. 'Ray J and Puffy was definitely lovers,' Knight claimed. 'Puffy allegedly gave him $10 million dollars to put out an album about the two brothers loving each other.'

Thunder, Pacers set to play for a title Show Caption Hide Caption Shaq gives thoughts on a possible Pacers-Thunder 'small market' Finals Shaq joins Sports Seriously to give his thoughts on if a Pacers-Thunder NBA Finals would be too 'small market' for the league. Sports Seriously What appears to be an obvious mismatch on paper still sets up for an intriguing battle as the 2025 NBA Finals get underway on Thursday.

2 beloved Hampton Roads radio veterans who died days apart remembered
Two beloved radio veterans heard on Hampton Roads airwaves for years have gone silent. Mark 'McKay' Cunningham, 55, died after a battle with leukemia on May 25, just a couple days before Robert 'Jeff' Moreau, 67, died on May 27. Listeners knew Cunningham as Mark McKay, who spent close to 20 years — from 1999 to 2019 — hosting both morning and afternoon shows as a DJ, music director and assistant program director for Max Media's 97.3 The Eagle. He rose to program director in 2012. In 2019, he moved on as southeast regional director of promotions at Riser House, a Nashville-based record label. McKay also held an annual radiothon to raise money for WTKR News 3's Dream Home giveaway telecasts to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Jimmy Ray Dunn, afternoon disc jockey at The Eagle, remembers his former colleague as the ultimate professional. 'His show was always tight on the board — very positive and forward moving,' Dunn said. John Shomby, former director of programming and operations for Max Media, noted McKay's old-school approach, exceptional music taste and ability to predict hits. He said McKay helped launch careers for a long list of local talent. From the day Shomby walked into the radio station, he said he and McKay were 'joined at the hip': 'He was like a little brother to me — a pain in the butt, but he always had my back.' A happy hour kicked off on the Eagle at 5 p.m. Friday in honor of McKay with the same theme he seemed to live his life by: nothing sad, nothing sleepy, nothing slow, nothing weepy. Moreau, a 1976 graduate of Princess Anne High School, was a familiar voice on several radio stations. He worked in the market for more than 25 years, including on 101.3 2WD, Mix 105 and 97 Star. Eric 'Morning Guy' Worden on 93.7 BOB FM fondly recalls doing voiceover work alongside Moreau in recent years at Studio Center. 'His baritone voice was exceptional,' Worden said of his good friend. 'He was a pro's pro and 100% gentleman.' Mare Carmody, a former disc jockey at The Eagle, met Moreau decades ago early on in her career and said he was just a fun person to be around. 'He could be really silly, but he was also super kind-hearted,' she said. 'I can still hear his voice in my head. He had a wonderful, resonant voice.' Following his illustrious career in radio, Moreau became a professional pilot and flew commercial jets for United Land Corp. based in Charlottesville. He became a certified flight instructor and, over the course of five years, built his own airplane he named Patience. Tim Moreau said his older brother — and lifelong protector — got the bug for flying early on in his career when he did the traffic report from the sky. 'Like many things that Jeff did, he would master it and then move on,' Tim Moreau said. He reinvented himself a third time as a real estate agent and broker for North Star Real Estate. 'He was a very accomplished man,' Tim Moreau said. 'And he was the consummate showman — entertaining right up until the end.' Services for Jeff Moreau were held on Friday and Saturday. A celebration of life for McKay is planned for 1-4 pm on June 7 at Three Notch'd Brewery & Craft Kitchen in Virginia Beach. Sandra J. Pennecke, 757-652-5836,
