The Gossip Table dishes that R. Marcus Taylor, who plays Suge Knight in the film, isn't worried about backlash for his portrayal of the famous hip-hop producer—despite major issues that went down on the movie's location. (According to reports, IRL Suge visited the set for a meeting, which led to an argument and a fatal hit and run. Suge was charged with murder.)

"I feel sorry for the person who died," R. Marcus said. "My heart goes out to them. But on this film, I had tunnel vision. This was my big opportunity, and nothing was 'gonna stop me."
