- The son of incarcerated Death Row Records co-founder Suge Knight prayed for "justice for everyone involved," without directly naming defendant Duane "Keffe D" Davis.

Suge J. Knight wants to remind fans that the 2Pac murder trial is more than just entertainment — it's real life.
The son of incarcerated Death Row Records co-founder Suge Knight, who was in the car carrying Tupac Shakur the night the legendary rapper was shot — took to Instagram on Thursday (August 20) with a message.
"I know the Tupac trial may be entertaining to some, but for the people who actually lived through it, it brings back a lot of trauma," he wrote over a black background in an image shared to his grid. "It changed a lot of families' lives, and we all had things we had to overcome because of it."
Although he didn't mention Duane "Keffe D" Davis, the man on trial for the murder of 2Pac, Suge's son concluded his post: "I just pray for justice for everyone involved. God bless. Keep going."
It's unclear exactly whether or not Suge J. Knight's message about the trial bringing up "a lot of trauma" was related to something he's been experiencing. However, in the post's caption, he expressed that the "journey" — and perhaps the stress that he and his family experienced following 2Pac's murder — made him "a real one."
Earlier this month, Suge Knight expressed that he has no interest in taking part in the 2Pac murder trial. As he sees it, the trial has "nothing to do with [him]."
"They make me come there against my will, if Keffe D's lawyers bring me there, it don't look good for him," he said in a recent interview with ABC News. "If the prosecution brings me there, it don't look good for them. Leave me out of it."
Knight went on to compare hypothetically taking the stand against Davis to shooting someone in the head, arguing that the former is worse because it would be akin to dying "a million times."
