For the second time in 9 months, Suge Knight got his face punched in -- and the alleged ass-beater claims to be Akon's business manager.
It all went down in a private party at the W Hotel in Scottsdale, AZ where Suge was attending a private party for NBA All-Star weekend. Cops say they were called to the scene by hotel security who warned about a brewing fight between two groups in the VIP area.
According to the Scottsdale PD website, when cops arrived, they saw a man punch the victim -- aka Suge -- two times in the head." Officers had to break out the tasers to "quell the fight."
The suspect, Robert Carnes, Jr., was charged with one count of felony aggravated assault -- they ruled it a felony "due to the severity of the victim's injuries." Another man was also arrested and charged with one count of misdemeanor disorderly conduct.
According to the Scottsdale PD, "Carnes reported to officers that he is employed as the business manager for singer 'Akon.'"
Suge was transported to a local hospital and treated for facial injuries.
UPDATE: Akon's people tell us, "Akon had already left the party and was in his hotel room at The W when the incident occurred."
UPDATE: Akon's publicist released the following statement about Robert Carnes Jr., the guy accused of beating Suge's ass: "He is not Akon's business manager, David Bolno is. He is with Akon's camp."

The guy who supposedly hung Vanilla Ice by his feet from a 20-story balcony has offered his hand to crumbling Britney Spears, who's currently losing custody of her kids to that other white rapper, K-Fed.
Suge Knight, Death Row Records co-founder, proposed his life advice for the wreck saying, "Any time a woman lose they kids it's a sad, sad story." Suge added, "I think this is Britney's year ... when people count you out that's when you turn around and show them how successful you can be."
The 300-plus pound Knight then offered Spears help, saying, "If I need to do something for her, I definitely push with her." That would be one hefty push!
