Suge Knight Claims 2Pac Wanted to Sign Aaliyah

Death Row co-founder Suge Knight said in a new interview that 2Pac was a big fan of Aaliyah and wanted to sign her.

While talking over the phone from prison with TheArt of Dialogue, Death Row co-founder Suge Knight made an interesting revelation involving two late superstars. Suge explained that the first time the late rapper/actor learned about the young singer was when they went to check out a Gladys Knight show. A day after 2Pac’s fatal shooting in 1996 at age 25, Aaliyah told MTV News, “I was very saddened, truthfully, at the tragic and senseless loss of such a multi-talented young man.” Aaliyah also passed away tragically early, dying in a plane crash in 2001 at age 22.
