Suge Knight claims Diddy, Justin Bieber, Usher were victims of abuse by powerful music executives

Suge Knight made explosive claims in an interview, alleging that Sean "Diddy" Combs and other music industry stars have been victims of abuse, and he mentioned powerful executives he believes are responsible for the misconduct.

The former CEO of Death Row Records — currently serving a 28-year prison sentence for fatally running over a man — told News Nation on Tuesday that his artists initially only smoked marijuana but allegedly began using harder drugs after signing with other record labels.

“Those guys … they introduced cocaine to my artists,” Knight, 59, told host Chris Cuomo during a phone interview from prison.

He went on to claim that after his artists were exposed to drugs like cocaine, their behavior changed, and he suggested this led Combs down a troubling path.

Knight further accused industry executives Clive Davis, Russell Simmons, and Andre Harrell of using “alcohol, drugs” to exploit Combs' “manhood.”

“[Combs] was taught that. He got Usher as a kid … alcohol, drugs, sex. Justin Bieber — and see they do these things to take control. … You choose to be gay that’s your preference, but they’re doing this to people for control,” Knight continued in the interview.

There have been no charges brought against Davis, Simmons, or Harrell based on Knight’s allegations. Page Six could not independently verify the truth of Knight’s claims.

A representative for Clive Davis firmly denied the accusations, stating, “This is a completely fabricated thread that is being trafficked by an incarcerated felon,” the spokesperson told Page Six exclusively on Wednesday.

“Mr. Knight’s assertions about Clive Davis are 100 percent false as nothing of the sort ever happened.”

The spokesperson further added, “Clive is a mentor to artists and, in keeping with this, never ever condoned any such inappropriate behavior.”

Davis, who led Columbia Records and launched the careers of artists like Whitney Houston, Barry Manilow, and Aerosmith, has never faced allegations or convictions related to sex crimes.

Nonetheless, Davis has shown loyalty to Diddy. In January, following a lawsuit from ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura accusing Combs of rape, Davis did not disinvite the rapper from his pre-Grammys event.

“Puffy is perennially invited to the party. He’s always on the list,” a source told Page Six at the time.
