SKG Speaks on Big U, Suge Knight and the “Pattern” She Says She Survived

Former Death Row artist, author and filmmaker Helecia “SKG” Choyce is opening up about two powerful figures whose names have long carried weight in hip-hop: Suge Knight and Eugene “Big U” Henley Jr.

In a new WorldWide Entertainment TV Media interview, SKG discusses the environment surrounding Death Row Records, the complexity of her relationship with Suge Knight, and the painful experiences detailed in her memoir, “The Monster Within”.

SKG entered the Death Row world as a teenager after being introduced to the label through a family friend. She says she was initially a fan of the label’s movement, its artists and the larger cultural force it represented. Her time around Death Row later led to a contribution on Tupac Shakur’s posthumous *Until the End of Time* album.

When asked what outsiders misunderstand about Suge Knight and the way Death Row operated, SKG gave a blunt personal assessment.

“Suge can do the divide and conquer,” she said, adding that she believes some conflicts surrounding the era were fueled by what she describes as a messy dynamic.

But her account is not one-dimensional. SKG also credited Suge Knight with making sure her verse remained on *Until the End of Time*, saying she remains thankful for that opportunity even while recognizing the pressure and complications that surrounded her path.

The conversation later turns to SKG’s memoir, *The Monster Within*. Asked what “the monster” represents in the title, SKG named Eugene “Big U” Henley Jr. and said the book documents allegations that she says she experienced, including kidnapping, assault, extortion, false accusations, incarceration and being blackballed.

Those are SKG’s personal allegations and account, as described in her book and in the WWETV interview.

Henley is currently facing federal charges in California. Those charges are allegations, and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Beyond the headlines, SKG says her story is also about survival, rebuilding and refusing to be reduced to one chapter of her past. Today, she identifies herself as an entrepreneur, filmmaker, author and artist—while continuing to speak openly about the experiences that shaped her.
