Appearing on DJ Whoo Kid’s Whooarmy Live show on Wednesday, comedian Leslie Jones reflected on the time when she had a crush on Suge Knight. Jones said she fell in love with the Death Row Records co-founder when they both attended Lynwood High School together in Los Angeles.
“When I went to high school with Suge Knight, first of all, I was in love with him because he looked like one of the DeBarges,” the comedian told DJ Whoo Kid. “So, I was in f**king love with him. He had that long-ass jheri curl. He was not f**king with me really, but he would be nice to me.”
As it turned out, Knight actually had his eyes set on Jones’ cousin.
“He liked my cousin and I was so mad,” Jones said. “I didn’t speak to my cousin for a month because Suge liked her. And I was like, ‘That’s f**cked up. You know I was in love with him. Why would you take him from me?’ And she was like, ‘B***h, I literally don’t want him. I don’t wanna f**k with him! Are you stupid?’”
Jones said she had an unforgettable interaction with Suge Knight when he was playing for the football team and she was working as a teacher’s aide for the football coach.
“One day he came in there, smiled and winked at me and I thought I was gonna have a motherf**king conniption,” she said, adding that he was also a big bully.
