Video After The Jump
There's much more to Eric "Eazy E" Wright's life than we saw in the 2015 film, "Straight Outta Compton," which depicted N.W.A's rise to fame.
The late rapper's daughter, Ebie Wright, wants her father's story told properly in a new documentary titled "A Ruthless Scandal: No More Lies."
Eazy died March 26, 1995, at the age of 31 from complications of AIDS. However, Ebie believes her dad was murdered, citing a 2003 interview his rival Suge Knight gave to Jimmy Kimmel.
"Technology is high, right? So if you shoot somebody you go to jail forever," Knight says during the interview. "Kids, you don't wanna go to jail forever, right? They got this new thing out. They get blood from somebody with AIDS and they (inject) you with it. That's a slow death. An Eazy E thing, you know what I mean?"
"Let me break this down for you," Ebie says in the trailer for "A Ruthless Scandal." "My father was diagnosed with AIDS three weeks before he died. He was immediately isolated in the hospital away from all his friends and family. Soon after, his attorney of only two months, draws up my dad's living trust while on his deathbed. Two days later a secret marriage (to Tomica Woods Wright) took place. During the following week my dad's estate was being looted while he was in a coma. On March 26, 1995, three weeks after being diagnosed he was dead. And one person walked away with everything."
Ebie is putting the documentary together with help from her mom Tracy Jernagin and sister Erica Wright.
"We also wanted to show his accomplishments, his personal life and, really, the aftermath of his demise and what happened to us. We never felt the story that was told to the public was the truth. It's just something that has always pained us," Ebie told Rolling Stone.
A Kickstarter fund to raise the $250,000 needed to complete the project fell short of it's goal.
