Suge Knight Loses Phone And Visiting Privileges In Jail

Jailed rap mogul Suge Knight has been stripped of family visitation and phone calls in a surprise move his fiancée called "unfair" Wednesday.

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge halted Knight's access to his parents, children and spiritual advisers in a decision handed down Friday under seal.

The change was requested by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department as Knight remains locked up on charges he ran over two men with his truck — killing one of them — outside a burger restaurant in Compton in January 2015.

Knight, 50, has pleaded not guilty in the case and claims he was the victim of an armed ambush.

"It's absolutely not fair," his fiancée Toi-Lin Kelly told the Daily News. "His rights were taken away with no explanation."

She said the couple's 6-year-old son was allowed to visit Knight in jail shortly before Thanksgiving but now must stay away.

"Suge was so prevalent in life. He used to take him to school and play with him before studio time. Now it's nothing. They can't even have a phone call," she said.

Kelly has been barred from visiting Knight due to an earlier protective order but successfully pushed for his access to their son and spiritual advisors last year, she said.

The judge's order on Friday was "deflating," she said.

"If they want to say he's a threat to witnesses, then just listen to his phone calls and monitor them. You can't take away his rights on the premise that he might intimidate someone," she said.

Kelly said Knight already had few privileges behind bars.
