Mediation session between rap giants fails

A mediation session meant to resolve a lawsuit filed by rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight against hip-hop star Kanye West was not successful.

Knight’s lawyer, Marc Brumer, said the two sides did not reach an agreement during the meeting in Miami, which West attended by phone. The lawyer said the case will likely go to trial.

Knight is seeking more than $1m (€786,784) in damages from West and his companies.

Knight was shot in the leg at a 2005 Miami Beach party hosted by West, whom Knight blames for lax security. The shooter was never identified, and the case is unsolved.
