Eazy-E's son, Yung Eazy, recently took to social media to share his thoughts on his father's untimely death. In an Instagram post, he shared his beliefs that the N.W.A. rapper was killed and points to Suge Knight. In 1995, Eazy-E, real name Eric Wright, reportedly died from complications with AIDS. However, one of his sons thinks something else contributed to his death. He insists that Wright was killed.
"I've been known my pops was killed." Yung Eazy said on his Instagram account. "His death never added up 2 what ppl have always said maybe they think we're idiots blind to the truth idk....but 4 u new fans, youngsters & ppl who just don't know much."
In his post, Eazy also notes the way his father's death was portrayed in the recently released Straight Outta Compton film.
"notice in#StraightOuttaCompton Eazy did not get sick until after the studio incident with suge and look how he acknowledged & admits on this interview with #JimmyKimmelinjecting ppl instead of shooting them is a new thing that's done. Oh n let's not touch the topic on Ice Cube naming his album "Lethal Injection" #FreeYourMind#RipEazyE #EazyE #F*ckSugeKnight."
Straight Outta Compton depicts Dr. Dre's forced departure from Wright's Ruthless Records at the hands of Knight with a scene that dramatizes a brutal beating of Wright by Knight and his goons in a recording studio. The incident took place after Wright refused to sign over Dre's contract from Ruthless to Death Row Records.
Knight's lawyer, Thomas Mesereau, recently spoke out saying his clients portrayal in the film is inaccurate.
During a recently resurfaced interview from 2013, N.W.A.'s former manager, Jerry Heller, revealed that one of the biggest regrets he had while managing the group was talking Wright out of killing Knight. He also mentioned that he regretted allowing Dr. Dre to leave the label.
Knight is behind bars following an altercation and fatal hit and run during the filming of Compton back in January. Back in July, a judge rejected Knight's request to dismiss the murder case after one of the main eye witnesses Cle "Bone" Sloan decided not to testify about the alleged murder of the victim, Terry Carter.
His bail is currently set at $10 million.
