Throughout the history of the music game, there have been countless tales of scandal and unexpected relationships. One such story involves former Death Row Records producer, Kurt Kobane, who shared some wild revelations about the Death Row Records founder, Suge Knight, during an interview with “The Art of Dialogue.”
According to Kobane, Suge Knight, had quite the love life, and one of the celebrity women he was rumored to have been involved with was none other than legendary actress, Halle Berry. Yeah, we know…the oil-and-water mixture of those two is uh…interesting.
Anywho, in the interview, Kobane shed some light on Suge Knight’s life during that era, describing him as a young millionaire with access to Hollywood’s elite. Kobane claims that he came across love letters from Halle Berry while clearing out certain items after Knight’s incarceration. He even mentioned witnessing Berry’s presence at the studio, although he wasn’t entirely sure of the purpose at the time:
“You’ve gotta understand who Suge Knight was at this time,” Kurt Kobane said. “He was a young dude, millionaire plus, so he had access to all the Hollywood women. There was love letters that we found after Suge went to jail when he wanted us to clear out certain things, there was love letters from Halle Berry. I seen those love letters. I seen Halle Berry at the studio, I just didn’t know what she was there for. She was into him at the time.”
But Berry wasn’t the only famous woman reportedly linked to the Death Row Records scene. According to Kobain, several high-profiled women consistently called Death Row Records headquarters for Tupac, including TLC’s Left Eye. He also claims seeing the presence of actress, Salli Richardson, during that time. Richardson allegedly later went on to date Tupac.
And there ya’ have it I Love Old School Music family! Kurt Kobane’s reported first-hand experience of the ’90s-era Death Row Records, where larger-than-life personalities and unexpected connections were reportedly the norm.
