The Death Row Records co-founder complained of stomach pains before a court hearing to address his robbery charges.

AceShowbiz - Suge Knight was rushed out of court in an ambulance on February 19. It's the second time the Death Row Records co-founder had a health scare as he was facing charges for murder, criminal threats, and robbery in separate cases.
The rap mogul was supposed to appear in court on Thursday to address the robbery charges but he never made it before the judge. Before the hearing, he was taken away for evaluation due to a "stomach-related medical issue."
Earlier this month, 49-year-old Knight was treated for chest pains after pleading not guilty to the murder charges. He spent more than a day in hospital before being released into police custody.
His hospital emergency was rumored to be a panic attack back then, but his attorney David Kenner claimed the Thursday episode was not that. The lawyer believed his latest health issue was a result of injuries stemming from being shot six times. He said his client had complained of pain during a meeting with attorneys the day before.
Suge Knight is charged for murder, attempted murder, and hit-and-run charges after a car crash that left one person dead. His lawyer has since insisted it was a self-defense.
He is locked up in jail after his bail set at $2 million was revoked because of "possible flight risk, three-strike candidate, possible witness intimidation issues and his criminal past." He will remain in prison pending a hearing for his bail review which has been pushed back to March 20.
Meanwhile, his threat and robbery charges stemmed from a September 5 incident where he and comedian Katt Williams was accused of stealing a camera from a celebrity photographer. Both have since pleaded not guilty to the charges.
