Suge Knight realized that even while behind bars, he needed ways to support his family on the outside. After all, the hip-hop mogul has five children plus a fiancée, so he tapped into his friends and family for help. Knight revealed to The Blast in 2019 that he placed musical artist Ray J in charge of Death Row Records and its future musical releases. “Ray J is the little brother and family,” Knight stated proudly to the publication.
Knight confirmed that, in addition to his deal with Ray J, he appointed hip-hop’s favorite dad, Nick Cannon, to help get a book written about his life. Knight’s fiancée, Toi-Lin Kelly, is his power of attorney and spearheads the deals behind all film and television projects about him. In 2021, Deadline announced that a production company purchased Knight’s life rights and were set to produce a movie based on his life and career.

Although he was making arrangements for his businesses to be taken care of while he’s locked away, Knight noted to The Blast that he believed he would be out of prison in time to take care of his family himself. “I’ll be home before you know it,” he said.
