Hip-hop is rather comical sometimes, isn't it?

The formerly much-feared, respected, and reviled gangsta rap mogul Suge Knight is suing Kanye West over an earring that Suge lost more than 3 years ago.

Knight, who recently filed for bankruptcy, appears to be grasping at straws. Suge, you gotz to chill.

TMZ is reporting that as part of his October 30 bankruptcy filing, Knight is blaming Kanye West for the loss of a beloved 15-carat diamond stud earring that was stolen from him three years ago. According to a lawsuit filed by Knight against West and some of his partners on September 12, the label boss blames 'Ye for allowing someone to smuggle a gun past security at the rapper's 2005 pre-VMA party in Miami, the same party where some unknown person shot Knight in the leg.
