Looks like Akon is thinking about suing Suge Knight for defamation after Death Row founder claimed Akon raped an underaged girl. In an exclusive report by TMZ the singer released a statement saying how Suge’s claims are false and he’s not going to sit around and continue to allow him to spread lies.
“I need to make it very clear that I absolutely deny these outrageous false and disgusting claims Suge Knight made on his podcast about me,” He began by saying. “I’ve never called, received, or had any contact with Suge Knight since he has been incarcerated. My voice you heard on his podcast was as a soundbite previously recorded from an interview I did with DJ Vlad 3 years ago regarding Suge Knight in 2009.”
He continues, “I’ve never been a guest on Suge Knight’s podcast. I always believe in building positivity into the world and my actions and legacy have spoken to that.” He added, “It’s unfortunate that I have to defend myself from these lies and I will be involving my legal team in filing a defamation lawsuit against Mr. Knight, my prayers for him will still continue.”
As we previously reported, on Suge Knight’s new podcast he claimed that Akon sexually abused a 13-year-old girl and in the audio that is still going viral Suge can be heard saying, “Let’s tell the real truth. One of my homegirls, she was a hustler. She had a little sister, 13 years old. And her best friend was 12 years old. She’s in the car with [Akon]. You and Detail call her… and she said, ‘I got my little sister and her best friend with me.’ I said, ‘Well, then stop by for a second.’ She go by y’all hotel, in y’all room, and she gets a call. It was the dudes she met at the hotel when she was coming to see you motherf**kers.”

Knight said that Akon and one of his associates — a producer named Detail, who in 2020 was facing 15 counts of sexual assault — sexually abused the two teenagers. He said, “When she gets back in the room, her little sister and that other little girl don’t wanna eat. They look scared. And they’re crying. When she gets back in the car with them, they tell her, ‘Akon, you f**ked the little girl, 13 — Detail f**ked the little girl, 12 years old. Y’all raped them.’”
