The man responsible for putting Suge Knight in hospital over the weekend is not Akon’s manager.
Reports surfaced earlier today (February 15) that Knight ended up in hospital last night after brawling with Robert Carnes Jr. at an Akon hosted party at the W Hotel in Arizona.
Police who arrived at the scene witnessed Carnes Jr. hit Knight twice in the head and had to taser both men to end the brawl.
According to TMZ, Knight fractured several bones in his face and has been discharged from the local hospital where he received treatment.
Carnes Jr. told police that he was Akon’s business manager but the singer’s publicist released a statement to TMZ denying Carnes Jr’s claims.
“He is not Akon’s business manager, David Bolno is,” said Akon’s publicist.
Carnes Jr. is still in custody and has been charged with one count of felony aggravated assault.
This marks the second time in nine months that Knight has ended up in hospital due to a brawl. Last year the mogul was knocked out cold at a Los Angeles nightspot after getting to brawl with a local barber.
Akon had left the party when the altercation occured.
