A few decades after his passing, Eazy E’s daughter created a documentary that took a closer look at his death and the circumstances surrounding it. For those unfamiliar, Eazy E was a member of N.W.A. He was one of the most influential artists in gangsta rap history.
He unfortunately passed away in 1995 at the age of 30. His death came one month after being diagnosed with AIDS. However, his daughter Ebie Wright, doesn’t believe his death was AIDS-related. Instead, she subscribes to the idea that foul play was involved and that he was actually killed.

The documentary she created, called “A Ruthless Scandal: No More Lies,” renewed interest in the conspiracy theory and sought to look at who was responsible for his death. While many of those around Eazy E participated, Wright said she wasn’t able to enlist the help of Ice Cube. In an interview, she stated that he was the only person that mattered to the story that she wasn’t able to speak to.
Ice Cube is a rapper and actor with a career that has spanned multiple decades. He was also a member of N.W.A. He was also one of the people closest to Eazy E during his life, though the two occasionally had troubles.
Wright has maintained a close relationship with Ice Cube’s sons. When she asked his sons to ask him if he’d be interested in participating, it seemed like he was ready and willing to do so. However, when it came to actually setting up an interview, Wright said he had started to dodge the interview.
Ebie Doesn’t Believe Suge Knight Was Involved in Her Father’s Death
While she believes foul play was involved in her father’s death, she dispels the rumor that Suge Knight was involved. Knight, who was the founder and CEO of Death Row Records, made headlines in the early 2000s for an interview he had on Jimmy Kimmel’s talk show.
In the interview, he took a slight jab at Eazy E when he said: “If you shoot somebody, you go to jail forever. You don’t want to go to jail forever. They have a new thing out. They have this stuff they called … they get blood from somebody with AIDS and they shoot you with it. That’s [a] slow death. The Eazy-E thing, you know what I mean?”

Despite never mentioning he was responsible, many people (including Eazy E’s own son) took this statement and began to think Knight was responsible for his death. However, this has never been proven.
In an interview, Wright was asked if she believed Suge Knight had any direct effect on her father’s death. She simply said “No.”
While many still believe Eazy E passed away due to AIDS, several others believe that foul play was involved. However, we’ll likely never know if this was the case.
