Suge is going to be loaded with cash, if he clears even a quarter of the 30% deal in a settlement with Dre, that would be close to 75 million!
I don't know how to take this seriously. Everyone assumes this is Suge's lawyer actually being interviewed. Although, I have no reason to doubt this, unless you know this man personally, it could be more of the same bullshit around this subject and youtube.First off, a good lawyer won't discuss the actual case on the record. He's giving away what evidence they have. Either Suge has a terrible attorney orSecond, he clearly has an agenda and that's for Suge to make bail. So everything he says is geared towards that and not necessarily truth. Again not that this bad, just don't believe everything on face value like the existence of additional footage or Suge's declining health. Thirdly, it is so highly unlikely they are keeping Suge in jail and have no intention of ever charging him, that's pure fiction, more likely they are still building a case and are getting conflicting information about everything. If there was any truth in this, the State prosecutors would be disbarred.

It's very doubtful that any such deal will be given any credibility in court. Suge can make that claim that he was locked into a lifetime management deal but the fact remains he wasn't active in managing that deal. The type of people who wind up with 2 billion dollars of Apple money aren't hiring piss-ant lawyers/managers to look over their money.

He talks about Dre needing video to show that the hit on Suge was a success. A guy with that much money is going to be so negligent as to want a video trail linking the hit right back to them when there would probably be countless easier ways to indicate that Suge had been killed?

It all depends on the agrement (if it exists, and if it's signed by both parties or representatives on behalf of the parties) -- If the agreement reads that he owes Suge money, please believe he will collect or get a settlement (i.e. not the entire $75 million, but maybe he settles for a lump sum of $30 million and Dre gets a non-disparagement clause where Suge can never say anything negative about him again) -- if there's no signatures then there's absolutely nothing here if Suge says it's carved out on a napkin some where, Dre's lawyer will knock that down like child's play -- but I wouldn't sell Suge short with his contracts -- he always handled his contracts where he was the heavy beneficial party -- the Snoop deal netted him royalties off of his No Limit albums -- Suge stopped the new Death Row from forming by smacking them with a giant six figure million dollar lawsuit saying his own business owed him royalities and operating costs (very smart!) -- Remember he got Dre off the Eazy-E deal when Eazy-E had a similar deal with Dre (people say Eazy was under duress when he signed Dre off the agreement, which would be illegal, but again that was never proven)It really just depends on what that paperwork says -- Death Row got slammed years later in a similar ruling -- For Dre, paying 30 million to Suge for a permanent settlement (which covers all past present and future royalties, and a non-dispargement) might be well worth it to throw at the issue so it stops coming back and interfering with him (that would be chump change for Dre)About the lawyer, Suge has multiple lawyers -- he used primarily Kenner for a long time, but he's always had multiple lawyers he hires, which is not unusual -- this could be one of many lawyers he's shuffling, and yes, there could be a strategy involved with timing and events -- but that lawyer did go VERY SPECIFIC into the timeline and case, which I think is very unusual

I wouldn't sell Suge short with his contracts -- he always handled his contracts where he was the heavy beneficial party -- the Snoop deal netted him royalties off of his No Limit albums
Remember he got Dre off the Eazy-E deal when Eazy-E had a similar deal with Dre (people say Eazy was under duress when he signed Dre off the agreement, which would be illegal, but again that was never proven)
It really just depends on what that paperwork says -- Death Row got slammed years later in a similar ruling -- For Dre, paying 30 million to Suge for a permanent settlement (which covers all past present and future royalties, and a non-dispargement) might be well worth it to throw at the issue so it stops coming back and interfering with him (that would be chump change for Dre)
What does Lil Half Dead have to do with anything?...And no way Suge has any kind of executable lifetime contract with Dre. For two reasons. First of all, to my knowledge such contracts don't even exist--where you can inprison another person in a lifelong contract. Second of all, even though Dre didn't leave with money in 96' leaving Death Row he left with something more important--his peace of mind and his freedom. That was the whole goal of the negotiations between their lawyers--that Dre would basically give up his 50% he was owed but that he would be a totally free man and could go off on his own in good faith. No way Suge can come around 20 years later and try to claim on money made from Beats By Dre. Suge probably couldn't even get another dime from the Chronic or "Keep Their Heads Ringin'" at this point, much less from Beats By Dre headphones...And I'm not saying all this cause I'm against Suge. And I think the "he killed 2pac" thing is one of the worst and stupidest lies ever told in hip-hop. If nothing else, Suge loved Pac and has stayed loyal to him more than anyone else in hip-hop.
Sure you can sign a lifetime deal in Anything -- Look at how Suge got smacked up years later with Death Row Records with the lawsuit that caused Suge to send Death Row to bankruptcy filings

Michael Harris -- he won the giant lawsuit ages later -- he never got any of that money but it buried the label
