Singer Chris Brown’s Saturday night VMA party at a Hollywood nightclub turned to chaos when shots were fired. It appears that the target was Suge Knight, the controversial hip hop producer and record executive. He was reportedly hit by several bullets but managed to walk out of the club and into a Sheriff's car. This is not the first time Suge Knight has been involved in a shooting; He was driving the car when Tupac Shakur was gunned down 18 years ago in Las Vegas. We take a closer look at Suge Knight and his role in the music world.
