Suge Knight Allegedly Sent Goons to “Get at” Eminem

It was at the 2001 Source Awards where an ex bodyguard says Suge Knight allegedly sent goons to kill his former boss Eminem.

Byron “Big Naz” Williams claims that for some reason all artists were forced to sit away from their bodyguards.

“That was our first encounter with Suge Knight and his henchman," he said. "Em was going to his seat. The way they had the seating was all messed up and the bodyguards couldn’t sit with the artists. I think that was by design ’cause I think they really wanted the artists to be able to network with each other, but it also gives people who got beef with other artists to get at them," he said.

When Naz looked again he says Eminem was in the aisle surrounded by a bunch of guys in red shirts, which were most likely members of the Bloods.

“He’s beefing with all these guys in these red shirts,” Big Naz says. “So I come from where I was at, I had to come back around, I noticed Em’s face changing, he’s turning like tomato red. There’s a sea of red guys around him. I had to bust through the middle man and snatch him up. Like, ‘Hey man what the hell’s going on up here?’ This is exactly what they said, ‘Death Row, motherf**ker, Death Row.’”

This wasn’t the first incident that Big Naz encountered with members of Deathrow Records, which he details in his new book “Shady Bizzness: Life as Marshall Mather’s Bodyguard In an Industry of Paper Gangsters.” He said his scariest incident was while vacationing in Hawaii, when they were met by 20 Honolulu police officers when their plane landed. Suge Knight allegedly sent over 50 of his goons from Los Angeles to break up a Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre reunion. The trip was no longer a vacation, as everyone was loading guns and strapping on bullet proof vests with their wives sitting next to them, said Naz. Honolulu police were also paired up with the bodyguards for the remainder of the trip.
