Rap label to close, founder no-show in court

Rap label Death Row Records will shut down unless founder Marion Knight appears in court.

Founder Marion Knight has already missed three hearings after being ordered to pay £61m to Lydia Harris, who claims she was a co-founder of the label in the 1990s. However, Harris' husband Michael also wants a share of the profits, claiming he also helped set up the radio station.

Knight's assets have been frozen since August 2005. Steve Goldberg, who represents Michael Harris, explained: "There is no explanation or excuse for [Knight] not coming. There are rules of court that should be obeyed and Mr Knight is making a mockery of it."
