The ongoing tension between Eminem and the Knight family has resurfaced after an unreleased diss track from the mid-2000s leaked online. Suge Knight’s son, Suge J. Knight, has now responded with a track of his own, calling out Eminem for attacking someone who “can’t defend himself.”

Eminem’s Leaked Diss Track Sparks Controversy

In January 2024, a previously unheard Eminem song, Smack You, surfaced online. The track, recorded in the mid-2000s but never officially released, includes references to Suge Knight and hints at his alleged involvement in the murders of 2Pac and Biggie Smalls.

The song opens with a sample from 2Pac’s “Bomb First (My Second Reply)”, fueling speculation about its deeper meaning.

Suge Knight, the co-founder of Death Row Records, is currently serving a 28-year sentence in California for voluntary manslaughter related to a 2015 hit-and-run incident.

Suge J. Knight Responds with a Diss Track

In response, Suge J. Knight released “Ocean Krwi”, a diss track recorded with Polish group Elita Kaliska, along with Gorzki and WWRD. He criticized Eminem’s timing, suggesting that releasing the song now is unfair to his father.

“It’s strange that this song is coming out now when my father has no chance to defend himself,” Knight said. “An honorable man doesn’t kick the defenseless.”

He also challenged Eminem’s claims about Suge Knight’s alleged role in 2Pac’s murder, stating:

“If Em said two decades ago that he would reveal the truth, where is it? Maybe he will finally have the courage to confess?”

Does Diddy Know the Truth About 2Pac?

Beyond Eminem, Suge J. Knight also pointed fingers at Diddy, suggesting he might have information about 2Pac’s assassination.

“The world will soon learn a lot about this attack,” he said. “I’m sure Diddy knows a lot, and I could even present evidence. But I’ve already said what I had to say. I want to live.”

A Longstanding Feud Between Eminem & The Knight Family

This isn’t the first time Suge J. Knight has taken shots at Eminem. Back in 2019, he claimed he had a diss track ready but refused to release it, saying it would be “too disrespectful.”

Meanwhile, Suge Knight Sr. has remained vocal from prison. Last year, he criticized Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, and others for staying silent about Diddy’s arrest. He also made the bold claim that 2Pac wanted to sign Aaliyah to Death Row Records.

What’s Next in This Feud?

With both sides firing shots, it remains to be seen whether Eminem will acknowledge Suge J. Knight’s diss track or if this controversy will continue to escalate. Given Em’s history of responding to critics, fans will be watching closely.
