The very outspoken Kanye West was noticeable quiet during a recent trip to NYC that’s drawing attention from the tabloids.
West was in NYC Friday to attend a deposition over a case regarding the once successful executive turned industry pariah Suge Knight.
The has-been hip-hop mogul was shot in the leg by an unknown assailant at a pre-party for the MTV Video Music Awards thrown by West at the Shore Club in Miami. But it seems that West refused to be an willing participant in the court proceedings.
Per Page Six:
He [West] basically put his hands over his head and didn’t say anything for six hours. He evidently doesn’t know anything about anything, despite the fact that he hosted the party.”
Knight is asking for more than $1 million in damages in the suit, which alleges that West and the Shore Club should have realized the party could produce a “dangerous environment” because of a widely known history of sometimes violent feuding among rap figures. This coming from a man that played a MAJOR role in the history of violent rap feuds (does the whole East Coast versus West Coast fiasco ring any bells?). Said Knight of the fruitless deposition:
“I figured I could sit him down, man to man, and get this resolved. I’m disappointed. My whole thing is: I’m not here to put nobody behind bars.”
They say a man who pussy’s out when its time to face the music is a true reflection of one’s charactier. Or was it me who said that? Nah in all seriousness, what does the world expect West to do? Once a situation elevates to court proceedings its kind out of everybody’s hands.
I can give Kanye a pass on this one.
