It’s no secret that Wack 100 has said some wild things online, but according to him, not everything has been the truth. During a recent interview with VladTV, he opened up about his involvement in Duane “Keefe D” Davis’ bail hearing. He previously tried to bail him out, as he’s currently in custody for his alleged involvement in 2Pac’s murder. Unfortunately, the judge shot him down.
Reportedly, the judge wasn’t convinced that he obtained the money legitimately. He insists that he did, however, and revealed that his online activity is not a reflection of his credibility during the hearing. “It’s the Internet,” he explained, noting how he tends to stretch the truth for engagement. Wack 100 says that he has all his ducks in a row financially, and speculates that he was simply shot down due to his own history with the judge and online persona.
Wack went on to recall appearing in court in the past, using Blueface who he manages as an example. “I just think they’re a little bothered… Remember Vlad, I’ve got a little history in that court,” he explained, noting how he got Blueface bailed out when he was behind bars for alleged attempted murder, and later gave him a place to stay on house arrest.
Elsewhere in the interview, Wack discussed how the judge also questioned his motive for trying to bail Keefe D out, as he had previously boasted about working on a documentary about him. Due to this, he was unable to prove that he didn’t have a business incentive in Keefe D’s release. His documentary plans remain unclear at the time of writing. What do you think of Wack 100 claiming that he lies online to boost engagement? Are you surprised? What about a judge reportedly refusing to allow him to bail out Keefe D?

Duane “Keefe D” Davis will still pursue the chance to get out of jail on bond as he awaits trial in the killing of 2Pac. His lawyer, Carl Arnold, confirmed the decision to Newsweek after a Nevada judge denied his latest attempt at posting bond. He needs $750,000 to do so and had a deal lined up with Wack 100 to get it done, but the judge found the source of the money suspicious.
“We are disappointed with the court’s decision to deny bail to Mr. Davis, especially considering the thorough vetting by Konvict Bail Bonds of the funding source conducted before the source hearing,” Arnold said. “We firmly believe there is a lack of substantive proof that Mr. Davis intended to profit from his alleged connections to the case.”

Calling into the courtroom via Zoom, Wack claimed the funds came from his business, 100 Entertainment. “I know him from passing. I know his son. We sat down and talked a few times in general about personal things when he was having his bout with cancer. Personal things, industry stuff. Just regular conversation,” Wack said. “He’s always been a monumental guy in our community. And I’ve helped several people in our community, whether it was funerals, whether it was for bail.” He also promised only to interview him once the trial was over.

Cash Jones, better known as Wack 100, attempted to post bail for Duane “Keefe D” Davis,” the man charged in the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur. Wack had already discussed his intentions to post Keefe D’s bail in the past but his appearance in court this week didn’t necessarily work out as he hoped. The judge met his offer with skepticism and pressed Wack on the legitimacy of the funds. Below, we’ll be diving into the details surrounding Wack’s recent appearance in court.

Duane “Keefe D” Davis faces a first-degree murder charge for his alleged role in the drive-by shooting that killed Tupac Shakur and injured Death Row Records founder Suge Knight. Arrested last September, Davis, now 61, lived in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson with his wife and son. His arrest came decades after he had detailed his involvement in the shooting through a federal proffer agreement, which initially granted him immunity for his statements related to the case.
Davis has pleaded not guilty and maintains that his health conditions, including a prior colon cancer diagnosis, necessitate his release to house arrest. The court set his trial date for November. However, he argues that the deterioration of his health relates to poor health conditions. Keefe D said that his condition worsened due to a lack of proper nutrition and medical care.
Wack 100’s Bail Offer
According to Rolling Stone, Cash “Wack 100” Jones’s involvement in the case emerged when Davis testified that Jones was providing $112,500 as a non-refundable deposit for his $750,000 bond. This offer raised questions, particularly after a recorded jail call suggested a link between Jones’s funding and deal to exploit Davis’s story for commercial gain. Prosecutors argued that Wack’s bail money offer might connect to a potential series or film project detailing Davis’s life and the events surrounding Tupac’s murder.
During a court hearing, prosecutors played a portion of a jail call between Jones and Davis. In the call, Jones proposed creating a series about Davis’s life. Wack mentioned that some of the potential episodes would focus on Davis’ upbringing as a youth, as well as particular individuals surrounding the East Coast-West Coast feud, such as Sean “Diddy” Combs, Christopher “Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace, and his late nephew Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, who is the suspected shooter in Tupac’s murder. Ultimately, the judge expressed concerns that the bail money might derive from a transaction where Davis benefits from discussing the crime.
Interestingly enough, during an interview with Vlad TV, Wack 100 revealed that he previously crossed paths with Keefe D at his studio. Wack explained that, at the time, he was in the process of securing the life rights of Orlando Anderson. There’s no confirmation whether there’s any connection between that conversation and Wack’s alleged proposal to create a series out of Keefe D’s life story.
The jail call in question relates to two conversations that Keefe D had: one with his wife and another with Wack. In his conversation with his wife, he reportedly said, “Cash [Jones] ain’t got no damn money to get me out.” Over the recorded call, he also reportedly heard told her that Wack serves as a front. “[It’s] the Jewish man that own the fucking movie company. Cash ain’t got no fucking money to own no fucking movie company. …They just using him as a front, so it won’t look like they did it, you know what I’m saying?”
However, Keefe D told the court that he lied to his wife, who didn’t trust Wack, to “get her off my back.” He added that he only lied to her to get her to sign off on something related to the case. “I said [Jones] had no money like that… just so she could sign the fucking bond and leave as is,” he testified.
The call involving Wack 100 painted another picture, however. Prosecutors played the call where Wack reportedly detailed potential plans for a television project including filming 10 episodes before the trial ends. “My thing is, fuck the movie shit, takes too long. We get to that later. Let’s do the series, you know what I’m saying?” Wack said. But when the defense lawyer asked Wack if he has “anything in writing that states that you will derive any benefit from Keffe D’s release and his story?,” Wack responded, “No, I don’t.
The Court’s Scrutiny

Judge Carli Kierny expressed doubts about the source of the bail money, highlighting the need for transparency and legality. She emphasized that the funds used for bail should not come from any agreement where Davis profits from recounting his involvement in Shakur’s murder. Although Jones testified via Zoom, claiming that his offer was unconditional and not tied to any business deal, the court remained unconvinced.
Judge Kierny decided to withhold a final ruling on the bail until she could review the bank records submitted by Jones. She pointed out that the defense failed to sufficiently demonstrate that the bail money was unconnected to any commercial exploitation of Davis’s story. This left Davis’s bail status uncertain, with the court demanding clearer evidence of the money’s source.
Health Concerns & Desperation
Davis’s plea for house arrest also centered on his health issues. He testified about his deteriorating condition, citing his need for better medical care and nutrition. Davis described the inadequate food and healthcare in jail, arguing that these conditions were life-threatening given his history of cancer. He admitted to lying to his wife during a recorded jail visit, claiming he did so out of desperation to secure her cooperation in posting bail.
Wack 100’s involvement in posting Keefe D’s bail revolves around a $112,500 deposit, which has raised questions about the legitimacy and source of the funds. Keefe D, charged with the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur, argues for house arrest due to his health issues. The court, led by Judge Carli Kierny, will examine whether the bail money links to a potential commercial deal to exploit Davis’s story. Jones, appearing via Zoom, denied any such business arrangement. The court awaits further evidence before deciding on Davis’s immediate release.
Wack 100 testified as to why he wants Duane “Keefe D” Davis out on bond during an appearance in court on Tuesday, arguing that he’s a “monumental guy” in the community. He had attempted to pay off a chunk of Keefe’s bail but a judge rejected the move over suspicions regarding his motivations and questions from where the money came. Wack claimed the funds came from his business, 100 Entertainment.
“I know him from passing. I know his son. We sat down and talked a few times in general about personal things when he was having his bout with cancer. Personal things, industry stuff. Just regular conversation,” Wack said. “He’s always been a monumental guy in our community. And I’ve helped several people in our community, whether it was funerals, whether it was for bail.”

Judge Carli Kierny also suggested that Wack was only interested in landing an interview with Keefe. In response, Wack promised the interview would only occur after the trial ended. “It would have to be [after the trial],” he said. “It couldn’t go the other way, it couldn’t go the other way because if he’s guilty … he’s gonna be looked upon a certain way. If he’s innocent as I think he is and I know him to be understanding the case, then he’ll be looked at a total different way.”
Police arrested Keefe back in September of last year, 25 years after 2Pac’s death. Be on the lookout for further updates on Wack 100 and Keefe D on HotNewHipHop.
Duane “Keefe D” Davis, who is facing murder charges for the killing of 2Pac, says he’s suffering from cancer and the conditions in jail are exacerbating his health problems. Appearing in court for a hearing on Tuesday, he attempted to get out on bond with the help of Wack 100. In pleading his case, he argued that his cancer had returned.
“I got cancer,” he said candidly, “I been in jail eating processed food. I had colon cancer… they serve all this processed food, they don’t serve no fruit, it’s terrible. Fake potatoes, fake milk. Fake everything. It ain’t good for an ex-cancer patient. I got it again.”

Keefe further argued: “They took me to the hospital on May 5. He came into my cell and said, ‘Hurry up and get dressed, you need emergency surgery.’ They referred me to my cancer doctor so I went and seen him on May 8 and he said, ‘I’ll get you to do a colonoscopy in a week, CT scan in two weeks, CT scan in three weeks.’ They haven’t came here to do nothing. I’m in a life situation and I will do anything to save my life.”

While Keefe and Wack were able to come up with the $750,000, the judge denied his bond request over suspicions as to where the money came from. Additionally, the court wasn’t buying Wack’s reasoning for wanting Keefe out. Be on the lookout for further updates on Duane “Keefe D” Davis on HotNewHipHop.
Wack 100 was unsuccessful in attempting to pay for a large percentage of the bail for Duane “Keefe D” Davis. He appeared in court on Tuesday to defend the decision to Judge Carli Kierny, who wasn’t buying any of it. Wack tried to post $112,500 of Davis’ $750,000 bail with the help of a bondsman for the rest. In turn, prosecutors accused him of acting as a middleman and only wanting to land an interview for a potential TV series from the move.
“I don’t really see where the actual $112,500 came from with what’s been provided,” Kierny argued during the hearing, as caught by AllHipHop. “I also don’t find the defense has met the burden … to show that the bail is not connected to Mr. Davis ultimately talking about Mr. Shakur’s murder and any evidence to contrary is not credible.”

Wack promised that an interview with Keefe D would only occur once the trial was complete and that he genuinely believed him to be innocent. “It would have to be [after the trial],” he said. “It couldn’t go the other way, it couldn’t go the other way because if he’s guilty … he’s gonna be looked upon a certain way. If he’s innocent as I think he is and I know him to be understanding the case, then he’ll be looked at a total different way.”
Wack 100 Speaks In Court
Police in Nevada arrested Keefe D for the murder in 2023, over 25 years after 2Pac was slain. Be on the lookout for further updates on Wack 100 and Duane “Keefe D” Davis’s murder trial on HotNewHipHop.
Keefe D will have bail before he faces trial for the murder of Tupac Shakur.
According to KTNV, Keefe D, legally named Duane Davis, alerted the court of his ability to pay the $750,000 bail to get out of jail. He will appear for bail hearing today (June 25). Davis had been in jail since September.
Previously, Keefe D announced that he would not be taking the stand to testify in his own defense. This decision comes despite a long-hidden confession from Davis concerning the infamous 1996 murder being submitted into evidence at his trial.
As reported by The Sun, Davis, who has previously confessed to his role in orchestrating Tupac’s assassination, has chosen to invoke his Fifth Amendment right, which protects individuals from self-incrimination. Despite having made multiple confessions to law enforcement in the past, Davis now refuses to answer questions about his involvement in the crime.
The 60-year-old former Compton drug dealer has reportedly expressed frustration with feeling “fitted up” over the murder and has decided to remain silent in court. His attorney, Carl Arnold, confirmed that Davis will not give evidence, opting to let his previous confessions speak for themselves.
Davis’s decision comes as a surprise to many, especially considering his previous cooperation with law enforcement. He had previously made confessions to both the LAPD in 2008 and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police in 2009, believing he was immune to prosecution due to a “proffer” deal. However, Davis now faces the possibility of life imprisonment if convicted.
Despite his refusal to testify, Davis remains confident in the strength of his case. Arnold stated that Davis believes the case is “winnable” and has never sought a plea bargain. The burden now falls on prosecutors to prove Davis’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Arnold also plans to subpoena Tupac’s friend and rap mogul Suge Knight to testify in the trial. While Davis may not be taking the stand, the courtroom drama surrounding Tupac’s murder trial is far from over.
In September of last year, Duane “Keefe D” Davis was arrested for his alleged involvement in 2Pac’s tragic murder. While he’s not believed to have pulled the trigger back in 1996, he’s accused of having orchestrated the drive-by. He denies this and pleaded not guilty to one count of murder with a deadly weapon in November.
He’s currently awaiting his trial, which is expected to begin later this year following various delays, from behind bars at a Las Vegas County Jail. Next week, however, he’ll learn whether or not he’ll be able to wait things out at home. His bail hearing is currently scheduled for June 25, and it appears as though he’s feeling hopeful. According to court docs recently reviewed by AllHipHop, he’s already secured the $750K he needs to potentially post bond.
Keefe D has maintained his innocence since his arrest, despite having admitted to his alleged involvement in 2Pac’s murder in his 2019 memoir, Compton Street Legend. He now says that the content of the book was purely written for entertainment purposes, as well as financial gain. “The truthfulness of the content of the interviews was never verified,” his team argues. “The book and interviews were done for entertainment and to make money from a situation that [former LAPD detective Greg] Kading and others had already profited from.”
Law enforcement officials aren’t so sure, however. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s Lt. Jason Johansson alleges that Keefe D was “the shot caller” of the group responsible for the shooting. “He orchestrated the plan that was carried out,” he stated.

Shocking allegations against Diddy only continue to surface, as the Bad Boy Records founder fights various lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault, abuse, and more. Recently, for example, a former LAPD detective who was involved in investigations of 2Pac and Biggie’s deaths spoke with The New York Times. The ex-detective, Greg Kading, recalled a disturbing alleged admission from Duane “Keefe D” Davis. Keefe D was arrested last year for his alleged involvement in 2Pac’s 1996 murder.
Kading claims that Keefe D accused Diddy of ordering a hit on 2Pac, as well as Suge Knight, back in 1995. He says that Keefe D recalled the mogul holding a meeting about it in a hotel room during a Summer Jam tour. Allegedly, Diddy told a room full of alleged “crips” that he wanted the duo’s “heads.”
Moreover, Kading says Keefe D also admitted to allegedly being offered $1 million by Diddy for the murders. “Man, we’ll wipe their a— out quick,” he allegedly replied. The following year, 2Pac was shot in a drive-by in Vegas, shortly after an alleged physical altercation with Keefe D’s nephew Orlando Anderson at a Mike Tyson fight. The icon succumbed to his injuries at a hospital just a few days later.
Ahead of his 2023 arrest, Keefe D wrote about his beef with 2Pac in his 2019 memoir, “Compton Street Legend.” He claimed that he had obtained a gun before searching the city for 2Pac and Knight. Eventually, he admitted to handing off the weapon to his nephew. He alleged that Anderson went on to shoot 2Pac four times, ultimately taking his life. What do you think of ex-LAPD detective Greg Kading’s account of Keefe D’s shocking alleged admission? Are you surprised by it, or not?

Foxy Brown could play a major role in the upcoming trial against Keefe D in the 1996 killing of legendary rapper 2Pac, according to an insider for The U.S. Sun. Keefe D previously claimed in his memoir, Compton Street Legend, that Brown was present during a meeting with the late New York City socialite Eric “Zip” Martin, who he claims provided Orlando Anderson with a gun. Anderson has long been suspected of pulling the trigger in the killing. Keefe D has since changed his tune about the story, claiming it all the be a lie.
“There are secret and delicate conversations going on about Foxy being a witness at the trial,” an insider said. “She could prove vital in taking the stand or even making a statement about her recollection of being around the men, who claim they were in her company for a short while before they set off to murder 2Pac. Obviously, central to her involvement to the trial will be whether she has any recollection of Keefe. The prosecutors know that having independent and credible verification of Keefe being in Vegas would be a major benefit to their case. And it would destroy Keefe’s defense of ‘there’s no evidence I was even there,’ which has been presented by his lawyer in recent weeks.”

From there, the insider explained that Brown still has many “delicate factors” to consider before agreeing to take the stand. “Being in this trial would bring a lot of eyes to her and not necessarily present her in the right light,” they said. “Secondly, the characters she was socializing with back then had varied backgrounds and lifestyles. Another factor would be taking the stand means facing cross-examination, which could put her on record being asked about matters in her life which may be fresh or potentially shocking. Some people may forget that Foxy has a criminal past too, being convicted for assaulting two nail stylists in 2006. These interactions with Foxy are being kept secret between just a couple of the district attorneys and team members. Nothing is confirmed about what, if any, evidence she will provide.”
Keefe D’s trial is set to commence on November 4. He has maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings. Be on the lookout for further updates on Foxy Brown on HotNewHipHop.
