“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,” she told Whoo Kid. “So, I was in f###### love with him. He had that long-ass jheri curl. He was not f###### with me really, but he would be nice to me ‘cause … I was Coach Carpenter’s teacher aide. And one day, I’m telling you one day he came in there and smiled at me and winked at me. And I thought I was gonna have a m############—I thought I was gonna have a f###### conniption. He was just the same big ass bully.”
