The R-rated biopic - which cost $29million to make - about the ground breaking hip-hop group N.W.A. performed above industry expectations and took $60.2million over its debut weekend.
But Attorney Thomas Mesereau, who represents Marion 'Suge' Knight, told The Wrap Universal's N.W.A biopic falsely portrays the fallen hip-hop mogul as a troublemaker who uses violence to get ahead in business.
He said: 'I'm sure he wouldn't like it because a lot of it is exaggerated and silly and ridiculous.
'A lot of the media does not realize how many good things he did for people, particularly in his community…He financed athletic facilities in schools, he gave money to the homeless, money to people in need.'
'He's a good person, and this will come out in due time,' the attorney said.
Knight is unable to see the film because he is currently awaiting trial on murder and attempted murder charges after allegedly running over two men on the set of a Straight Outta Compton promotional video.
