Former Death Row Records music mogul Suge Knight knows how to hold a grudge: Three years ago, he attended a party at The Shore Club in Miami hosted by superstar Kanye West, where he was allegedly robbed of a 15-carat diamond stud earring. Now, TMZ shares the scoop that Knight says West is responsible for the errant earring, suing for the $135,000 cost of the bling and other expenses he claims to have incurred from the episode. According to TMZ, West hasn’t responded.
