Kanye West and Marion "Suge" Knight appeared in New York court to settle a lawsuit over a shooting at a 2005 party in Miami. According to the New York Post, West refused to speak during a six-hour, closed door session between Knight's lawyer Marc Brumer and West's lawyers. Knight claims that West is responsible for a shooting that took place during a VMAs pre-party he was hosting at the Shore Club in Miami inside the Red Room in August of 2005. Knight's femur was shattered by a gunshot wound in the leg and required multiple operations. The gunman is unknown. Knight also claims that West is responsible for a $135,000 15 karat diamond earring that was lost during the fracas.Knight told the Associated Press that he was "disappointed" with the outcome of the negotiations. "I figured I could sit him down, man to man, and get this resolved," Suge said. "He basically put his hands over his head and didn't say anything for six hours," Knight's lawyer, Marc Brumer, told Page Six. "He evidently doesn't know anything about anything, despite the fact that he hosted the party." According to Knight and Brumer, Kanye West and The Shore Club are responsible because the shooter breached security with a firearm and squeezed off six shots, one of which hit Knight.
Knight, who has filed for bankruptcy and is indebted to the IRS, is seeking over a million dollars.
