Suge Knight Files Lawsuit against Kanye OVER an Earring

According to TMZ, Suge Knight is suing Kanye West over a diamond earring he lost at a party about 3 years ago. Suge filed a lawsuit earlier today in a Los Angeles court claiming that he lost his 15-carat $135,000 diamond stud earring inside the club during a shooting incident, where he was shot in the leg.
