Suge Jacob Knight found Chris Rock’s comedy special to be funny but mostly glad for a reference to his father, Suge Knight. Things took a turn after the comedian began talking about the Will Smith Oscar incident. Instead of taking the actor’s name, he referred to him as Suge Smith, a mixture of the actor’s name with the former music executive. Speaking to TMZ, the son said, “We all know Suge Knight as that guy who’s all about that action“. He also shared how he feels good to know his father has a legendary status despite being in prison for a while.

Suge Knight was the former founder of Death Row Records, which Snoop Dogg was also a part of. The executive highlighted the Gangsta rap scene, leading to his commercial success. He is currently serving a prison sentence for being convicted in a manslaughter case. But his son feels that Knight would’ve enjoyed seeing Rock’s joke if he saw it.
