The film Straight Outta Compton was released in 2015 to universal approval. In biopics the success of the movie rides heavily on nailing the likeness of the characters and their storylines.
Director F. Gary Gary did a tremendous job chronicling N.W.A.’s rise to fame. Suge Knight however felt much differently. His disapproval on how his character was portrayed led to a death threat according to a Los Angeles Grand Jury. TMZ has more.
Suge Knight made a death threat against famed “Straight Outta Compton” director F. Gary Gray … so claims the L.A. County Grand Jury which indicted Suge on felony criminal threats … TMZ has learned.
We’ve learned Suge allegedly made the threat during the filming of the movie, but months before he killed a man involved in the production by driving over him in a Compton parking lot. TMZ has obtained a copy of the Grand Jury indictment, which reads in part, “On or about August 8, 2014, Suge … threatened to commit a crime which would result in death and great bodily injury to Felix Gary Gray.”
Suge was extremely unhappy with his portrayal in the movie and we’re told he sent the threat by text. We know on August 8, 2014, Gray was interviewed by cops at the Slauson Swap Meet where they were filming.
Suge Knight is scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday.
