Akon is threatening to file a defamation lawsuit against Suge Knight after he claimed the music mogul sexually assaulted two underage girls in the studio.

Suge made the shocking claims on his new “Collect Call” podcast.

The former Death Row Records mogul, who is currently serving a 28-year prison sentence for the hit-and-run death of Terry Carter, said his homegirl told him that Akon and producer Detail [allegedly] sexually assaulted two teens – aged 13 and 12.

Listen to the episode below.

Akon said the claims are 100 percent false and that he will not allow his name to be slandered. 

I need to make it very clear that I absolutely deny these outrageous false and disgusting claims Suge Knight made on his podcast about me.

He also noted that the sound of his voice on Suge Knight’s podcast is a soundbite from a 2009 interview with DJ Vlad.

I’ve never called, received, or had any contact with Suge Knight since he has been incarcerated.

My voice you heard on his podcast was as a soundbite previously recorded from an interview I did with DJ Vlad 3 years ago regarding Suge Knight in 2009.

Akon continued:

I’ve never been a guest on Suge Knight’s podcast. I always believe in building positivity into the world and my actions and legacy have spoken to that.

It’s unfortunate that I have to defend myself from these lies and I will be involving my legal team in filing a defamation lawsuit against Mr. Knight, my prayers for him will still continue.

Suge Knight and Akon have a history of bad blood, but is it bad enough for Suge to put falsely something like this on his jacket?
