Knight was wearing an orange jail shirt as he appeared in court to enter not guilty pleas to four felonies charged against him.

Knight is being sued for hit-and-run following news that the former music mogul reportedly hit two men with his pickup truck last week.

If found guilty, Knight could face life imprisonment.

It is alleged that Knight intentionally hit two men, including a friend, in Compton last Thursday, although his lawyers countered the claim, saying that what happened was just an accident as Knight trying to run for his life from the group's nasty attack.

Knight is charged with murdering Terry Carter, 55, and for attempting to kill Cle "Bone" Sloan, 51, in the parking lot of a burger stand after going through a heated argument in the place where the movie Straight Outta Compton is being filmed.

According to Kenner, Knight was definitely apologetic over the death of Carter but that does not mean he is guilty of what happened to him.

This is not the first time that Knight has been embroiled over legal troubles. In the 1990s, he was involved in what could be considered as one of the most infamous rap conflicts with rapper Tupak Shakur, ending him in prison for five years after he beat the latter just hours before Shakur was fatally shot while using his car in 1996.
