Man...
Anybody know if this is The Hood Surgeon or another son of his?
He does have several kids, doesn't he?

I wonder then, if this is Michele's son?

I itred to Google it and couldn't confirm, but I did come up with this
amazing piece of info:

During Dr.Dre’s defection from Ruthless Records (during which time
Eazy-E was allegedly physically harmed by Suge Knight), there was a
fear of further violence. Ruthless Records executives, Mike Klein and
Jerry Heller sought assistance from the JDL.[23] Mike Klein, former
Ruthless Records director of business affairs said "The Defense League
offered to provide bodyguards to Eazy-E when Knight allegedly
threatened him in the early 1990s." This provided Ruthless Records
with muscle to enter into negotiations with Death Row Records over Dr.
Dre’s departure. While Suge Knight violently sought an outright
release from Ruthless Records for Dr. Dre, the JDL and Ruthless
records management were able to sit down with Death Row and negotiate
a release in which the record label would continue to receive money
and publishing rights from future Dr. Dre projects. It was under these
terms Dr. Dre left Ruthless Records and formed Death Row Records with
Suge Knight.

The FBI launched a money laundering investigation, assuming the JDL
was extorting money from Ruthless Records. This led to JDL
spokesperson Irv Rubin to issue a press release stating "there was
nothing but a close, tight relationship" between Eazy-E and the
League.

Jerry Heller explained JDL’s involvement with Ruthless Records as
involving reasons additional to those the FBI investigated. Heller
stated that Eazy E received death threats, and it was discovered that
he was on hit list by some white power skinheads. Heller has
speculated that the FBI did not investigate these threats because of
the song "Fuck Tha Police". Heller said "It was no secret that in the
aftermath of the Suge Knight shake down incident where Eazy was forced
to sign over Dr. Dre, Michele and DOC, that Ruthless was protected by
Israeli trained/ connected security forces."[24] Heller maintains that
Eazy E admired the group for their slogan Never Again, and that he had
plans to do a movie about the group.

That's kinda freaky
