Favourite legal story of the week ... Snoop Dogg is being sued by a man who left a message on his answering machine bad-mouthing Death Row Records founder Suge Knight. Snoop used the message on an anti-Knight track without permission and now said caller says he is paranoid Knight, who has alleged links to LA gangs, will retaliate. The unnamed caller is suing for "common law appropriation of voice and intentional infliction of emotional distress". The lawsuit says: "The plaintiff now fears for his life. Mr Knight is a burly, convicted felon and is rumoured to be involved with gangs, to threaten, assault and hurt people."
