Suge Knight's 2014 keeps getting worse by the day. After being shot in a Hollywood nightclub in August, he and Katt Williams were arrested and charged with the theft of a paparazzo's camera last week, and now the hip-hop mogul's health has taken a turn for the worse. TMZ reports that Knight passed out twice while behind bars, and had to be taken to the hospital to treat a possible blood clot in his lung.

According to the gossip website, Knight "passed out in his jail cell and was taken to the medical ward ... when he arrived, Suge fainted once again while getting an X-ray." Sources close to the rapper say that he'd been taking blood thinners since being shot, and he wasn't able to continue once incarcerated, which may have led to the clot.

Stay tuned for updates.
