Did Suge Knight, Dr. Dre’s longtime nemesis, have anything to do with the brawl that went down at the Vibe Awards last month?

According to the Associated Press, police are reviewing video of the fight to see if Knight, the rap producer and label boss, had any involvement.

After the award show on Nov. 16 in Los Angeles, Knight denied any involvement, and said he wasn’t stupid enough to get involved while numerous cameras were rolling.

Dre was seconds away from walking up onstage to accept a lifetime achievement award, when a man came up to him and punched him in the face. That man, Jimmy “James” Johnson, was later stabbed, and police believe it may have been by G-Unit member Young Buck.

A lawyer for Johnson, also the former lawyer of Knight, said his client had no ties to Knight.

Knight may have violated his parole by attending the show. A condition of his parole was that he have no contact with Dre, who sat a few rows in front of him.

“Mr. Knight has some special conditions attached to his parole, and we are working with the Santa Monica police to evaluate all the circumstances that took place that evening,” Alfred Martinez, Los Angeles regional parole administrator for the Corrections Department, told the LA Times.
