Billy Corgan Blasts Suge Knight, Says He’s ‘Destroying’ Hip-Hop & Death Row’s Credibility
In a shocking and unprecedented move, Billy Corgan has lashed out at Suge Knight, calling him “destroying” hip-hop and Death Row Records’ credibility. The bold statement comes after the two music industry heavyweights appeared on a podcast together.
Corgan, best known as the lead vocalist of Smashing Pumpkins, expressed his disappointment in Knight’s recent actions, stating that he is single-handedly bringing down the legacy of the iconic label they both were once associated with.
“I’m really disappointed to see Suge destroying hip-hop and Death Row like this,” Corgan said during the podcast appearance. “I don’t know what’s going on, but it’s not good.”
Knight, who co-founded Death Row Records with Dr. Dre in 1991, has been embroiled in controversy lately. He was arrested last year for allegedly attempting to murder two men at a movie studio parking lot.
The drama surrounding Knight has led many to question the future of Death Row Records, an influential label that played a significant role in popularizing West Coast hip-hop and launching the careers of artists like Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg.
Corgan’s sharp criticism suggests a rift between him and Knight, which could have far-reaching implications for the music industry. The two were once close associates, with Corgan even performing at the inaugural Death Row Records anniversary party in 1996.
The situation remains fluid, but sources suggest that the tension between the two may lead to a permanent breakdown in their relationship.
