I’m sure you’ve all heard the story that surfaced back in the day about big, bad Suge Knight dangling poor Vanilla Ice over a balcony railing to force Ice to sign over some money to Suge. Well for those of you that do not know, when Ice shot to fame with his album The Extreme he signed a deal with Death Row CEO Suge Knight that would give Suge royalties from “Ice, Ice Baby” and in order for Suge to get Ice to sign over money he held him over a hotel balcony. Well fast-forward to 2011 Ice has now said nothing like that happened and Suge was a complete gentleman. I’m not too sure why someone would sign over royalties for their most popular song for no reason but who knows. Ice also said with the money Suge received from him he funded Dre’s classic, The Chronic, and the careers of Tupac and Snoop. Read what Ice said after the jump. @Julie1205
