On Sunday, June 8, The Art of Dialogue podcast dropped a video interview of Tyrin Turner, where the actor weighed in on why Suge Knight was serving a prison sentence. Referring to the 2015 hit-and-run incident where Knight killed a man as he put his truck into reverse, Turner said:
"That's the reason he got 28 years right now, because he didn't jump out the car and take the fate... Just jump out the car! Because if the n***a wanted to shoot you, he would have just come to the car and shot you [which he clearly didn't]. He should have been like, 'let me jump my big a** out and just fight the n***a'. Na, you wanna play motherf**ker roller car and sh*t."

For the unversed, Suge Knight was sentenced to 28 years in prison in October 2018, after he pleaded no contest to charges of voluntary manslaughter. Knight's sentencing came in connection with the death of Terry Carter in a 2015 hit-and-run incident.
Suge Knight thinks Diddy should testify in his trial to "humanize" himself
Tyrin Turner's opinion on Suge Knight's imprisonment comes weeks after the former NFL player spoke in support of his long-time rival, Sean "Diddy" Combs.
On May 30, Knight spoke to a CNN reporter over the phone briefly, saying he believed the Bad Boy Records owner should take the opportunity to "humanize" himself in the courtroom.
Suge said:
"I feel if he do tell his truth, he really would walk. If Puffy goes up there and says, ‘Hey… I did all the drugs, I wasn’t in control of my life at the time, or myself’ – he can humanize his old self and the jury might give him a shot."
According to the former music executive, not taking the stand wasn't going to help Diddy's case in his ongoing sex trafficking trial. Suge Knight added:
"But if they keep him sitting down, it’s like he’s scared to face the music. He should just have his faith in God, put up his pants and go up there and tell his truth."
Combs, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, has yet to take the stand in his ongoing trial, which is currently in its fifth week. If convicted of the charges by the end of the trial, Diddy could face a life imprisonment sentence.
For the unversed, the friction between Diddy and Suge Knight started in the 1990s, when Knight was promoting West Coast rap, and Combs' label represented the East Coast artists. Suge's Death Row Records and Combs' label were in a war of dominance, with artists from each label dissing the other.
The feud reached its peak in 1996-1997, when the star artists from both labels - Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. - were killed in shootouts that occurred within months of each other. Both record owners have since stayed at odds with one another.
