Rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight has been taken to hospital complaining of chest pains after he was arraigned on murder charges.
The Death Row Records founder was in court on Tuesday, where he pleaded not guilty to four felony counts involving a fatal hit-and-run incident on a movie set.
The 49-year-old was taken to hospital following his arraignment, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Officer John Gardner said.
Details on his condition were not immediately available.
Knight is charged in the murder of 55-year-old Terry Carter and attempted murder of 51-year-old Cle "Bone" Sloan.
Prosecutors say Knight deliberately struck the two men with his truck after an argument on the set of the film Straight Outta Compton, a movie about the rise of rap group NWA.
Defence attorney James Blatt said his client, who surrendered to police, ran the pair over by accident as he tried to escape a vicious attack.
Knight's initial $2m (£1.3m) bail was revoked on Monday after a judge determined the hip-hop mogul was a potential flight risk and could intimidate witnesses.
Knight, who was out on bail in a separate robbery case when the two men were struck, could face life in prison if convicted.
The latest charges came less than six months after he was shot six times at a West Hollywood nightclub - the second time he has survived a shooting.
