Suge Knight Almost Beat Up NFL Player Marcellus Wiley in Los Angeles Club

Apparently, even All-Pro defensive ends get shook around Suge Knight. In an interview with HipHopDX, Marcellus Wiley says hip-hop's most intimidating figure came close to beating him up at a Los Angeles club.

Based on Wiley's statement, the near-incident likely took place sometime during the early 2000s. For added context, Wiley is listed at 6-foot-4, 275 pounds. The currently incarcerated Suge Knight is 6-foot-2, 265 pounds.

Wiley tells HipHopDX, "I was at a club and we had like two tables combined, so we sit down at one and [the hostess] is looking for the [people at] the other one, I'm like,'let's just take this one next to us.'" Wiley told DX during Power 106's Powerhouse concert. “[The hostess] was like, 'No I don’t think you can use that one.' I was like 'Why? I thought you said we had two tables.'"

Wiley continues, "So we just take over cause there's too many of us and nobody's there. I love getting to clubs early. I don't know why, cause I'ma spend thousands of dollars so I wanna get my money's worth. So I’m there and all the sudden we hear the security like 'Y'all gotta get up. Y'all gotta get up. That’s supposed to be Suge's table.' I’m like, 'Okay, well if it's Suge's table I’m about to get up but I don't want to. Next thing you know [The] Game went up and he started freestyling and rapping at the club so I'm like, 'Forget that, Game's rapping, I ain't moving,' and I kinda got absentminded. Suge's supposed to have his table."

The former Buffalo Bill, San Diego Charger, Dallas Cowboy and Jacksonville Jaguar elaborates on his encounter with the rap mogul.

"So all of a sudden everybody just starts scattering and stuff," Wiley says. "Next thing you know I'm like damn near at the table by myself ... They're like, 'Yo, Suge’s table came.' So, I get up. I move somewhere else, I punked out, I had to!" Wiley says. "So we get outside and I’m in a Rolls Royce, a white Phantom and I’m sitting there and it's almost like the Jaws music starts going off, 'Duhn-Duhn Duhn-Duhn.' I’m lookin' around and then Game and Willie McGinest came up to me and were like, 'Dawg, you better get outta here.' I’m like, 'What's up?' And supposedly [Suge and his people] took me not getting up [from their table] immediately as like beef and Suge and his people were looking for me. I was like 'whoa.' So I bail out. I get outta there."

Wiley says he and the rap mogul crossed paths one or two weeks later and smoothed everything out. Who do you think would win in a one-on-one fistfight, Knight or Wiley?
