Hip-hop mogul and Death Row Records founder Suge Knight has been sentenced to 28 years in prison for his role in the death of Terry Carter. Knight was initially charged with murder in 2015, following the hit-and-run attack which killed Carter, a co-founder of Heavyweight Records, and left another victim in hospital after an argument on the set of Straight Outta Compton.
Just as the trial was set to begin, Knight agreed to a plea deal, entering a no contest plea to the charge of voluntary manslaughter. Prior to his plea deal, Knight was facing a potential life sentence. He will be 81 years old by the time he is released.
After Supreme took over the New York Post for Fall/Winter 2018, Kanye West has followed suit and used the newspaper to advertize the new YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 “Triple White” release. The New York Post isn’t the only newspaper to receive full front and back page adverts, with ‘Ye also advertizing in papers including the San Francisco Chronicle, Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times, as well as international publications including U.K.-based Metro.
The adverts feature the phrase “WE LOVE” in numerous languages, as well as stills from the campaign imagery. The rerelease of the YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 has been described as the “largest ever,” and the new international advertizing campaign from Kanye and adidas indicates that he is serious about wanting “as many people as possible to have them.” The sneaker is available now from the YEEZY Supply web store.
