Keefe D Sold Items Related To 2pac Murder Says Cop Who Worked The Case

by

Recently the Las Vegas police raided a house which they later confirmed was in connection with the ongoing investigation of 2pac’s murder. While the investigation was never technically ended, it had been dormant for quite a while. With renewed interest from the police came renewed interest from fans. Now Chris Carroll, one of the first to arrive on the scene of his murder, is discussing some details. He joined The Art Of Dialogue recently and wasn’t shy about discussing the case details. One person he focused in on in particular is someone long associated with the case, Keefe D.

“This guy, Keefe D, has been shootin’ his mouth off for a couple of years now, openly telling everybody that he’s part of the murder,” Carroll begins. “He says he handed Orlando Anderson the gun and Orlando Anderson is the shooter, and shot 2Pac. He openly is saying, ‘I handed him the gun’ — well, that makes him part of this murder.” It’s long been suspected by many that Orlando Anderson, who died in 1998 was 2pac’s actual murderer. “I’ve heard rumors that he even had sold some items that he told people, y’know, were there that night. Whether that’s BS or not, I don’t know, but to think that not only is he admitting to being part of a murder but now he’s going to profit from the whole deal?” You can watch Carroll’s entire interview below.

Keefe D recently spoke about 2pac’s murder himself. He sat down on a different podcast to blame Diddy for getting him involved in it. That appearance came after news broke that police found bullets at Keefe D’s house and were testing them to see if they dated back to the rapper’s murder.

Earlier this week a ring worn by 2pac in one of his last public appearances was sold at auction. While the $1 million price tag got plenty of attention, even more people were shocked to find out that it was actually Drake who bought it. What do you think of Keefe D potentially selling items related to 2pac’s murder? Let us know in the comment section below.

She quote tweeted the clip with a caption taken directly from something Theo says. ““I like some of that sht👹” her response reads. Her retweet has already racked up over 15k likes on Twitter and is full of fans sharing their own responses to the clip. “girl i know it’s prob not your thing but i would be hopping on that!” reads one of the top comments. “i jus watched this today sh*t had me dying,” says another.

In an interview during Rolling Loud, she made jokes about the nature of their relationship before clarifying that it was all business. She also announced that they had been sharing some music back and forth and may have a potential collab on the way.

Her performance at Rolling Loud in Miami proved to be a controversial one. A particular fan accused her of “emasculating black men” with her set but she quickly took to Twitter to shut down his take.

That was the case when Sisqo recently sat down with Vlad TV to explain long-running rumors the he at one point dated Beyonce.

The pair posed for a picture together that had fans buzzing with rumors about their potential relationship. Now fans are getting an actual first hand account of the pair’s history.

“Me and Beyoncé never dated” Sisqo clarified. “But we were just friends when we were younger because we were on a lot of the same tours because we came out around the same time. I believe they came out in ’97 and [Dru Hill] came out in ’96. So, we were friends. I knew her dad and her mom and sister and stuff.” Sisqo explained that the nature of their pairs connection was merely friendly while expanded on how it originally formed. The rumors were reignited over a decade later after the famous Solange and Jay-Z elevator incident. Bey’s sister posted a picture of Destiny’s Child and Dru Hill in the studio together. Sisqo was also asked about this. “All I know is when Elevator Gate happened, Solange posted a picture of us. I’ll just leave it at that. Then she promptly erased it. It was erased the next day.”

Sisqo And Beyonce Were Just Friends

In case you didn’t already know, Beyonce is currently on the North American leg of her Renaissance world tour. Celebs have piled on top of each other to see the star play and videos go viral from nearly every show.

Joe Budden Calls Logic “Weird” For Exposing His Mom For Using The N-Word

by

Joe Budden says that Logic is “weird” for recently “snitching” on his mom for having used the n-word. While appearing on Andrew Santino’s Whiskey Ginger podcast in May, Logic recalled a time his mother was stabbed for using the word. Flash forward a few months, and Joe Budden discussed the incident on a recent episode of his podcast.

“My mom got stabbed,” Logic recalled on Santino’s podcast. “Yeah, she was in the park, hit the hard ‘r’ on somebody, which she also did to me and my siblings all the time. She stepped out and thought it was all good and some bitch just yanked her up. They stabbed this bitch up. In her side and in her back. A couple times.”

On Saturday, Budden played the clip on The Joe Budden Podcast and the co-hosts quickly started clowning Logic. “And you want me to think that this guy is okay with who he is and just his own skin and being himself?” Budden questioned. “What’s that about? That’s weird. Why you snitching on moms?”

From there, he brought up Logic signing his father to Bobby Boy Records in June. He added: “When he paraded his dad everywhere on a leash, I didn’t say nothing, but I did think it was odd. Then he signed his dad… seems familiar. That was the trend, like, 600 years ago. Getting paperwork on these n****s [laughs].” Check out the full clip below.

Joe Budden Calls Out Logic

It’s far from the first time Budden has come at Logic on his podcast. Earlier this year, he pleaded with the 33-year-old to retire from music. “Logic, I beg of you, I’m pleading with you: please join me in retirement,” he said. “Never step near a recording device again! Throw your phone in the ocean! Be allergic to microphones! Promise your fans nothing! Don’t go to the studio ever again!” Logic eventually responded to the hate while speaking with MSNBC‘s Ari Melber, labeling Budden a “hater.”

Large Professor Discusses Russell Simmons’ Decision Not To Sign Nas

by

During a recent appearance on the Drink Champs podcast, Large Professor discussed Nas. He reflected on people in the industry passing up opportunities with Nas in the early days of the rapper’s career. “From the start,” Large Professor began, “When they brought Nas’ demo to Russell [Simmons], Russell was like ‘Nah, he sound too much like [Kool] G Rap.” “It was crazy,” the artist continued, “We was in the same camp though. That’s what he wasn’t seeing — it was like, ‘Yo, Nas is actually a descendant of G, so… you should you know, accept a new generation type shit. But, Russell ain’t know that Force.”

Large Professor agrees that Simmons “f*cked up” on that one. It’s clear that Nas has managed to do well for himself in the time since, however, just recently dropping his 16th studio album, Magic 2. The LP acts as a follow-up to 2021’s Magic, and features 50 Cent and 21 Savage. He did limited promotion for his latest offering, only announcing the release date days before the drop.

Large Professor Thinks Russell Simmons “F*cked Up”

Nas also recently announced his collaboration with Hennessy in celebration of the 50th anniversary of hip hop. He flexed alongside his new “HenNASsy” bottle in an Instagram post yesterday. The “vibrant limited edition cognac” works to “[mark] a unique cultural milestone” with the help of Nas, according to Hennessy. The brand calls him “one of the genre’s most prolific talents.”

In a recent interview, 50 Cent discussed some other ways Nas was misunderstood earlier in his career. He revealed that his “Office Hours” collaborator turned out to be far more intelligent than he previously believed based on his music. “We’d be on the tour bus, and he’d be reading books and stuff,” Fif explained. “[Nas] was ahead of us. What he had, and I was looking at it going, ‘You gotta be careful’ because he was smarter than the music he was releasing… He was smarter than things he was saying on the records.”

Dame Dash Explains How He & Jay-Z Competed Over Aaliyah

by

Recently, Dame Dash sat down for an enlightening and at times odd conversation with the That’s F***ed Up podcast, going into the Hov and Nas beef and much more. Moreover, that last adjective came into play thanks to a conversation they had around late R&B star Aaliyah. Specifically, the Roc-A-Fella cofounder explained how he and Jay-Z actually fought for her heart at the same time. Sure, many expressed some discomfort at the idea given how young she was, and at the general idea of discussing these things about someone who is no longer with us. However, that aside, it still made for a somewhat comical anecdote, albeit one that has a much darker and more tragic context.

“I didn’t look at her like that because she was like a tomboy,” Dame Dash began. “She was little to me. But then one time- I guess we had the same book keeper, and I walked past. Every time I saw her, she looked different. She had different looks every time and I was like, ‘Who the f**k is that?’ I just threw my A-game. And then, you know, I guess Jay was trying to get at her as well, and I didn’t know. It got brought up and I was like ‘F**k both of y’all.’ But it never worked out for them, and we were both trying to get at her. And I kind of eased up, but then we ran into each other. It’s a long story.

“Everybody was getting at Aaliyah, bro,” Dame Dash continued. “She’ll go to dinner with a n***a but she wasn’t gonna just be smashing. So that was the big deal, like, who can get with Aaliyah.” Then, one of the podcast hosts asked whether Hov was bitter about it. “Obviously,” he replied. “Yeah, he felt a way. But everybody knows that s**t. Well, they be trying to act like he was really f***ing with her. Nah, he was sending flowers and doing all that s**t, he was courting her. So we were both going hard and we ended up in the same house for 4th of July. So it was, like, one day it might lean towards him then it’ll lean towards me.

“But I was just on fire that week,” he concluded. “Everything I was saying was funny, you know what I’m saying? I remember coming downstairs and he was like… *sigh*. ‘Cause like, you know, his friends were laughing at him and s**t.” For more news and the latest updates on Dame Dash and Jay-Z, stick around on HNHH.

“I never met Biggie,” Will.i.am said, “I never had an interaction with 2Pac, but Apl.de.Ap in the Black Eyed Peas, he had this girlfriend. I don’t wanna name her name or put her on blast, and they were eating at freaking Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles.”

Will.i.am Discusses 2Pac With DJ Whoo Kid

“I’m such a Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul head that I don’t like 2Pac and Biggie,” he said at the time. “That kind of music doesn’t speak to my spirit. I like Boogie Down Productions, KRS-One … if it’s like 2Pac or Biggie? It’s KRS-One. Why those two? If it’s 2Pac and Biggie, I don’t hold them up like that. I hold Eric B. and Rakim like that. 2Pac’s dope, don’t get me wrong. It’s not like I don’t think he’s dope.”

Stephen A. Smith Says Death Is Too Good For Larry Nassar

by

Stephen A. Smith is someone who does not hold back on his opinions. Overall, it is his mentality when it comes to broadcasting that has gotten him so far in his career. At this point, he is the one keeping the lights on over at ESPN. Although this is a sentiment we have shared quite often, it still remains true. Without Smith, the network would not be experiencing the same kinds of success. First Take is their biggest show, and with Smith at the helm, it has truly taken off. Needless to say, they want him for the long haul.

Now, Stephen A. has his very own podcast that allows him to talk about whatever he wants. Sometimes, the conversations on this podcast can get NSFW. On other occasions, he speaks about topics from the sports world that wouldn’t otherwise be covered by First Take. This always makes for some great commentary, and yesterday, fans were subjected to just that. Below, you can see Stephen A. speaking on the Larry Nassar story. As we reported, the convicted sexual deviant had been stabbed numerous times in prison.

Stephen A. Goes Off

Overall, very few people cared about Larry Nassar’s fate. Although what happened to him was violent, there is little empathy from the general public when it comes to child molesters. Consequently, you can imagine how Stephen A. very much held the same opinion here. After all, Nassar is known for molesting members of the USA Gymnastics team, who are all household names. In the video above, Stephen A. made it clear that he believes death is simply too good for Nassar. He wants the man to get beat up every single day, but he doesn’t want him to die. Overall, Smith feels like it would be an easy way out.

Although some may say this is a harsh take on it all. Most would probably stand in solidarity with Smith. Let us know what you think of his opinion, down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.
