Los Angeles ( CNN ) Former rap mogul Marion `` Suge '' Knight collapsed in court Friday shortly after a judge set his bail at $ 25 million in a murder case , an amount Knight 's attorney said was excessively high . The attorney earlier indicated such a bail was probably higher than his client could post . Knight bent over in his chair at the defense table , with his attorney beside him , and two deputies rushed to him as he was facedown . Moments earlier , the judge ruled that Knight `` has a great potential to flee and apparently has so in the past . '' `` In this court 's opinion , $ 25 million is reasonable , and it is so set , '' said Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Ronald S. Coen . Attorney Matthew Fletcher told CNN affiliate KABC that Knight hit his head on a chair and knocked himself out . Fletcher later saw Knight in the holding cell , and `` he was dripping sweat ... like somebody threw a bucket of water on him , '' Fletcher told the station . `` And he wiped the sweat off his head and said , ' I have n't had my medication , ' and I said since when , and he said since yesterday . That 's when I went back in and told the judge 'You need to make an order that he gets his medicine and he has n't been fed ' and the judge said , 'Well , they offered him food at some point today , ' and I said well that 's not what I 've heard , '' Fletcher told the affiliate . Knight , who suffers from diabetes and blood clots , was taken to the hospital , the attorney said . Knight 's condition was not immediately available . He has collapsed before while in custody . Knight has been held in solitary confinement , Fletcher added . When asked about the $ 25 million bail , Fletcher said , `` It 's just laughable . '' The bail in other prominent murder cases `` at most is $ 5 million , '' Fletcher told the affiliate . `` The heads of the Mafia , $ 5 million ( bail ) , '' Fletcher said . Prosecutors sought the $ 25 million bail , he added . A preliminary hearing was scheduled for April 13 . Knight , 49 , has pleaded not guilty to several charges that accuse him of running over two men -- killing one of them -- in January after an argument . Knight is charged with one count of murder , one count of attempted murder and two counts of hit-and-run , with an allegation that he committed a serious and violent felony while out on bail , prosecutors said . The man who died was Terry Carter , 55 , a former rap record label owner . The second man is Cle `` Bone '' Sloan , 51 . The deadly incident happened on January 29 , after a flare-up on the set of the biopic `` Straight Outta Compton , '' a film about the highly influential and controversial rap group N.W.A . The argument spilled over to the parking lot of Tam 's Burgers in Compton . The incident is the latest run-in with the law for Knight , who founded the wildly successful Death Row Records in 1991 and signed artists such as Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur . Knight was driving the car in which Shakur was a passenger when the rapper was shot to death in Las Vegas in 1996 . Shortly afterward , Knight spent several years in prison for violating parole on assault and weapons convictions . That prison time -- along with Shakur 's death , feuds between Knight and a number of rappers , and desertions by Dr. Dre , Snoop and others -- contributed to the label 's bankruptcy in 2006 . In August , Knight and two other people were shot while inside a celebrity-filled Sunset Strip party hosted by singer Chris Brown on the eve of the MTV Video Music Awards . At the time of his most recent arrest , Knight was free on bail in a robbery case . CNN 's Rosalina Nieves , Paul Vercammen , Carma Hassan and Greg Botelho contributed to this report .
`` It 's just laughable , '' Knight 's attorney says about high bail . The judge said he would consider the case again on Monday.
