'Love & Listings': Jacob lashes out at teammates because he doesn't have a real estate license and rubs everyone the wrong way
Jacob Suge Knight, the son of infamous rap mogul Suge Knight has been discussing his woes since the pilot episode of the show. In his introduction, he talks about how his family lost everything, including a whopping $300 million following his dad’s arrest. He goes on to explain his plan to rebuild the family legacy by getting into real estate. He sees real estate as the gateway to make money and turn around things for his family.
Jacob also expresses a desire to build a business empire and make a name for himself. While all that sounds great, the boy hasn’t really stepped up to the situation. He still hasn’t gotten his real estate license, so he can’t call himself an agent and make hefty commissions from selling extravagant mansions to A-list celebs yet.
And if you're wondering what’s holding him back from getting that license, then you’re not alone — as that's the question on the minds of his fellow agents and castmates. In the recent episode that aired on August 12, we see Jacob lashing out at everyone because he doesn't have a license. In earlier episodes, we saw him lamenting about how he wasn’t able to focus on his preparation for his exams because he wasn’t sure his father would approve his decision of venturing into real-estate leaving behind the music industry.
When Suge Knight gave him his blessings and his friend Taylor made efforts to help him out with his preparations, one would assume that Jacob would put in his best efforts to get that license and start hustling, but that was not the case. Jacob instead blames everyone around him for not having a license, instead of taking responsibility for his situation.
Tai, his boss, was mistreating Taylor so she quits her job and suggests Jacob to also get his license quickly and move on to better opportunities rather than being held back by Tai. Young Knight doesn't take Taylor’s advice in the right spirit and instead calls her "disloyal" for leaving Tai and him behind. He makes everything about himself and sees it as Taylor abandoning him, rather than being happy for his friend.
YOUR CITY?? Jacob seems to be real heated knowing Taylor's moved on and out-right questions her loyalty. Who was in the wrong?

Later, he lashes out at his fellow castmates saying he doesn't feel like he is part of the group because he doesn't have a license. Ajani tries to pacify him by saying that the license is just a piece of paper. Jacob immediately goes on the defensive and says he just wants to make money and again brings in his father who made $300 million, and that he would be doing the same.
Andrew reminds him that he needs to get a license to make money by selling the properties. Jacob then lashes out at them by saying that he has "more juice" than all of them and that he’ll show them all after he gets his license and storms off. He leaves the group confused about his out-of-the-blue outburst and erratic behavior.
What do you think of Jacob's outburst? Let us know. 'Love & Listings' airs on Monday nights at 10 pm EST on VH1.
