Mase Overestimated Number Of Bloods Looking For Him After Biggie’s Death, Diddy’s Former Bodyguard Claims

by

During a recent episode of It Is What It Is, Mase reflected on the aftermath of The Notorious B.I.G.’s 1997 death. According to the Florida-born rapper, things got pretty scary. He claimed that around “70” Bloods were on the hunt for him, leaving him afraid to even step out of his hotel room. He said that he then called up Gene Deal, Diddy’s former bodyguard, who eventually came and got him.

“After Big got killed, they were probably looking for more Bad Boy artists,” Mase explained. “I was left in L.A. And from that day, I always said, ‘I’m outta here. I was left! I came there with people; I ain’t leave with those people. You know how it goes. Find your way home.” Now, Deal has come through with his own version of events, which differs slightly from Mase’s. He sat down with The Art of Dialogue this week to reflect on the frightening situation.

Gene Deal Offers His Version Of Events

“I called Mase that morning, and me and Mase spoke,” Deal described. “And then, he was telling me how all them Bloods and everything that was out there. So, I was with a couple of dudes that was from Black Hands — which is a part of the Black Guerrilla Mafia.” He went on, explaining how he thinks Mase could have overestimated the amount of Bloods there out of fear. “We just went to the end of his hallway. He said it was a lot of Bloods out there. It’s some dudes out there I wasn’t recognizing. You know I recognize, but I don’t think it was — You know, he said it was like 70 [Bloods]. When I got there, it wasn’t that many dudes out there like that, but he could’ve seen 70, 17, 20, 30,” he explained.

“When you think somebody tryna get you, and n***as is running the hallways because they know Bad Boy was staying there, it’s a lot of dudes.” What do you think of Gene Deal’s version of events? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

2Pac And Biggie Murders Connected, Former Case Detective Claims

by

A former Las Vegas PD detective has given credence to the long-standing conspiracy theory that the murders of Tupac and Biggie were connected. Clifford Mugg testified at the grand jury that went on to indict Duane “Keefe D” Davis. “[People] associated with both murders were involved. [The] theory was accurate that they were related,” Mugg said in relation to the theory that the murders were connected.

Furthermore, 2Pac was killed in September 1996 in the drive-by shooting that Keefe D has now been arrested for. Meanwhile, Biggie was killed, also in a drive-by, in March 1997. In this testimony, however, Mugg clarified that while he believed the murders to be linked, he did not believe them to be perpetrated by the same person. Additionally, the idea that they were connected has been a long-standing theory given their famous West Coast-East Coast beef.

However, rumors have recently been confirmed that 2Pac and Biggie were seeking to end their beef before 2Pac’s death. In an interview with AllHipHop, Mopreme Shakur, the brother of Tupac, confirmed rumors that Pac was recruiting Biggie to Thug Life. “There is some validity to that,” Shakur said. “Before things fell apart, Pac was a uniter. We knew we were from New York. We knew we were from the East Coast. And Pac liked to work with the best talent around. So, there was a period, there was a time when we was all cool. There was a time when Pac wanted Biggie to be part of the East Coast faction of Thug Life ‘cause we was kicking it with each other anyway. Pac wasn’t just a hater just to be hating. He liked [Biggie].”

Furthermore, in the same interview, Shakur hit back at the scrutiny his brother faced. “What Pac did was dare to fight. He dared to fight back, he dared to say something. He dared to question the police, and it comes with a certain amount of baggage.” Additionally, Keefe D was arraigned earlier this week in court.
