Knight said Dr. Dre responded and said: “First of all I’m not a fag*ot … I’m not homosexual, I’m bi-sexual. If I wanna pound some butt I can do a woman. I’m bi-sexual because I like to get pounded in the butt.”

“That was crazy,” he said of the late rapper’s hologram that performed with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg at the recent Coachella Music Festival. “That was like, ‘Whoa! Hey, that’s a little too good. Let’s back that technology off a little bit.’”
