Dr. Dre and Ice Cube Sued for Wrongful Death in Suge Knight Hit and Run Case

Shooting a movie in a dangerous neighborhood may keep things real on camera, but it could also mean a lot of trouble with keeping things safe and sound on set. The family of Terry Carter, the man who was killed by rap mogul Suge Knight in an alleged hit-and-run crash, is now claiming Dr. Dre and Ice Cube are also to blame for the tragedy. Carter’s wife and kids claim the famous rappers hired the security men who scared the driver in the first place.

The founder and CEO of Black Kapital Records and co-founder and former CEO of Death Row Records, Suge Knight may not mean too much for you. But in the US showbiz, the man is quite big. In fact, at some point tabloids were reporting that Floyd Mayweather was considering paying the rapper’s bail. The five-division champion decided not to drop $10 million dollars for the rapper, eventually.

Nevertheless, the surprise comes from the victim’s wife who decided to drag rappers Dr. Dre and Ice Cube and Universal Studios in the lawsuit. She claims they failed to provide adequate security.

As we previously reported, the accident happened in the proximity of the set of the upcoming film Straight Outta Compton, an upcoming bio-drama film that tells the story of the rise and fall of the Compton, California hip-hop group N.W.A.

Ice Cube and Dr. Dre were part of the founding members of Niggaz Wit Attitudes (N.W.A), so it was only natural the two would be producing their film.

According to Time, Lilian Carter filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles on Wednesday, claiming that the rappers hired known gang members to provide security for location shoots in gang neighborhoods. Carter’s widow said that some of the gang members incited the fight and threatened Suge, leading to his decision to roar back through the parking lot in a rush, which sadly lead to the fatal crash.
