Rap mogul Suge Knight has been hospitalized after a fight in an Arizona hotel, police said.
Cops arrested two men after the Death Row Records founder suffered facial fractures during the early-morning fracas yesterday at the W Hotel in Scottsdale.
Hotel security was called after two groups of guests exchanged heated words in the VIP area.
Cops arrived a short time later and saw Robert Carnes Jr., 38, of Bethlehem, Pa., twice punch Knight in the face, authorities said.
Carnes was arrested along with Thomas Leon Anderson Jr., 33, of California, on suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct.
Carnes told cops that he is the business manager for hip-hop star Akon, but a publicist for the performer denied that, tmz.com reported.
Knight was in Arizona for the NBA All-Star Game this past weekend.
Knight, 43, was jailed in October 1996 for violating his probation on a previous assault case by allegedly kicking a man during a scuffle at a Las Vegas hotel.
