*Is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob really about to work a miracle on Marion “Suge” Knight?
The imposing founder of Death Row Records, who has done time for attempted murder and is in the throws of bankruptcy, says he’s ready to let go of the troubled label after hearing the same message from two different preachers within the span of two weeks.
"You've got to be able to let the past go, and move forward to the future," he quoted Bishop Noel Jones as saying during a sermon at the City of Refuge Church, near his Compton hometown. In an exclusive interview with the New York Post’s Page Six column, Suge said Texas-based Bishop T.D. Jakes visited the church two weeks later and told the congregation: "You can't keep living in the past. God gives you a chance to move on."
Knight tells Page Six: "They talked about the same thing, and it felt like they were talking straight to me. I don't want to be tied up with this for years. I want to move on with my life in a more positive direction."
Knight has been in bankruptcy court since Lydia Harris won a $106 million judgment against Death Row by claiming that her husband, Michael, now doing 28 years in prison, co-founded the label and was entitled to 50 percent of the proceeds. Knight was able to give Harris a check for $1 million several years ago, "but once the money ran out, she sued again," he said.
Instead of hanging on to Death Row under Chapter 11 reorganization as advised by the bankruptcy court, Suge says he now wants to liquidate his publishing rights, pay off the creditors, and put the label behind him for good.
"I want to take care of the creditors. I'm saying I don't want to keep living in the past, with the negativity," Knight told the column, adding that he no longer uses the N-word. "My approach to music now is different. I'm not Delores Tucker, but you do have to be careful what you say. We shouldn't be constantly feeding negative energy to these kids. You can get rich with the devil's money, but you can only be happy with God's money."
