Suge Knight sells life rights to Ray J to develop new projects

Marion “Suge” Knight is enlisting Ray J to help him make money from behind bars.

The former Death Row Records boss, 54, has sold his life rights to the “One Wish” crooner, Ray J’s manager David Weintraub confirmed to Page Six on Monday. The deal was completed seven months ago.

Ray J, 38, is shopping a number of documentary, scripted and feature projects based on Knight’s life and the history of Death Row Records.

Weintraub, who started at Interscope Records and moved Death Row, told us he and Ray J have a “well-versed history” of how the former record label works and are exploring options to revamp it. We’re told it will be dependent on funding and interest in the label from various artists.

The main focus for now, however, are documentary and scripted programs with Knight’s life rights, including a reenacted scripted series about Knight and the untold stories of the founding of Death Row that will be unlike various projects that have already been released.

Knight was sentenced to 28 years in prison for killing a man in 2015, but received credit for time served; he reportedly could be released in just over 10 years.

Knight has five children: Taj, Bailei, Andrew, Posh and Legend.
