Los Angeles (AFP) - Rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight was taken to hospital for the third time in less than a month Monday, as he made his latest appearance in court.
The 49-year-old, who has complained of medical problems since he was arrested in late January over a fatal hit-and-run incident, said he has lost 35 pounds in weight and is blind in one eye.
"At this time, I don't know if I can proceed," he told LA Superior Court judge James Brandlin at Monday's hearing, which was cut short after Knight said he had fired his attorneys.
Knight was seeking to have two cases against him -- for robbery and the hit-and-run, held separately in courts outside Los Angeles -- assigned to one judge in downtown LA itself.
Telling the judge about his health woes, he said he was "100 percent blind in one eye," losing vision in the other, and was sometimes disoriented.
"Sometimes I can't comprehend what's going on," he said, recalling that he had been shot six times in an LA nightclub shooting in August.

Suge was not a rapper, but a music producer and record company owner. Those companies at one time really did make some money.
He was the Don King of rap.
