The former Death Row Records CEO and gangsta rap kingpin has dropped his appeal in the lawsuit against Kanye West, reportedly reaching a confidential agreement with Kanye's attorneys to settle his legal costs out of court.
Suge's appeal came after a Miami federal court judge found the case in Kanye's favor in November 2010. Suge's attorneys had argued that Kanye was reponsible for a shooting at a Miami MTV Video Music Awards party he had hosted in 2005, where Suge was shot in the leg and allegedly robbed of a $135,000 diamond earring. Suge sought millions of dollars in damages, claiming Kanye was responsible for the party's lax security which allowed the shooter to smuggle a gun into the club, and escape without capture.
