So there’s this video that surfaced (above) of Suge Knight making a guest appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live back in 2003, and it is quite eerie. Though any disagreements between Dre and Eazy-E were resolved before Eazy-E’s death, that same forgiveness seemingly never included Knight.

A lawyer for Suge Knight, the former music mogul facing murder charges for his alleged involvement in a deadly hit-and-run accident, says the box office hit Straight Outta Compton is not as true-to-life as its producers make it seem.
Unfortunately, Eazy-E, was not around to see the impact of the film, as he died from complications due to AIDS on March 26, 1995, just one month after he was originally diagnosed.
Eazy-E’s analysis and demise got here all of the sudden after his feud with his fellow N.W.A. members – Ice Dice, Dr. Dre, DJ Yella and MC Ren – had reached a fever pitch. “When you shoot anyone, you go to jail eternally”. They have a new thing out.
But his joke about the Boyz-N-The Hood hitmaker drew gasps from the audience with a stunned Kimmel even putting his head in his hands. “They have this stuff they called…they get blood from somebody with AIDS and they shoot you with it”, the Death Row co-founder told Jimmy Kimmel as his feet were propped up and a cigar in his mouth. “The Eazy-E thing, you know what I mean?”

Knight, 50, is now on trial for the murder of Terry Carter, 55, and attempted murder of Cle “Bone” Sloan, 51. But over a decade after this incident, it was clear that Knight still had an issue with Eazy-E as he made the outrageous joke to Kimmel, whose talk-show had only started on ABC earlier that year.
