On this date in 1996, Tupac Shakur, who’s just left the Mike Tyson vs. Bruce Seldon fight at the MGM Grand Las Vegas, was gunned down in Suge Knight’s BMW while at a stop light at East Flamingo Road and Koval Lane. He was shot four times, with two of the .40 caliber shots landing in his chest. Shakur would succumb to his injuries six days later. He was only 25 years old.
What were the events that transpired the days before the September 7th shooting that caused his early demise and why has the mystery of his death never been solved? These are the questions that remain a quarter century later. Chris Carroll, a retired Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department sergeant, told Vegas Seven Magazine in an interview in 2014 that we may never know;
The only real evidence police have are the witness accounts from Outlaw members E.D.I Mean, who claimed to have seen all four men in the vehicle and Yaki Kadafi, who was involved in a scuffle with officers two days following the shooting after they pulled over a driver he was with and he protested. Officers did not try to locate Kadafi, who was later gunned down in the PJs in Irving, NJ two months after the shooting.
Compton investigators assembled mug shots of several gang members, which included Orlando Anderson, the Crip that Tupac attacked in the MGM Grand lobby hours before the shooting. Anderson is the suspect said to have fired the fatal shots that killed Pac. Las Vegas police later discounted Anderson as a suspect and interviewed him only once. He was later killed in an unrelated gang shooting.
Las Vegas homicide Sergeant Kevin Manning said detectives called his lawyer to set up a meeting with a witness, so that the pictures could be reviewed, but according to Manning the calls were not returned. E.D.I. Mean and Frank Alexander, Pac’s body guard, told The Los Angeles Times in early 1997 that they had never been asked by the Las Vegas police to view photos of possible suspects in the case despite having seen the shooting and the faces of the men in the car from which shots were fired at Pac and Suge Knight. Alexander reported seeing the face of the suspect that shot Shakur but he was found dead with a bullet wound to the head in his home in Murrieta, CA on April 28, 2013. It’s being reported that it was suicide and there haven’t been any further updates about Big Frank’s death and who killed him. To this day, Las Vegas police dispute the witness accounts of what they reported to the officers the night of the shooting.
Early this month, it was revealed that Duane “Keefe D” Davis will now face charges related to the death of Tupac Shakur after years of claiming he was directly involved, but avoided prosecution with a immunity deal. It seems 2023 is the expiration date of that said deal.
The ‘90s is often referred to as the golden age of R&B, and for good reason. However, with so much quality music being churned out, maintaining a high profile isn’t easy. Nonetheless, it is entirely impossible to disregard the caliber of R&B talents that saturated the scene in that era. Take the alluring songstress Michel’le. Although she’s flown under the radar in recent times, her impact in the 90s was indelible.
The R&B superstar had a successful career throughout the decade. The albums she dropped between 1989 and 1998 speak loud and clear. This is also despite not releasing any new albums since 1998. It is also unsure whether or not the music scene can wholly welcome Michel’le’s return. Regardless, she still continues to perform live. It has been nine years since her last single though, but her time in the spotlight was marked with great success.

Michel’le Toussant was born on December 5, 1970 in Los Angeles, California. The singer grew up in Compton where she faced a challenging upbringing. During her early life, she had to deal with living in a tough neighborhood and working her way out. Michel’le’s interest in music served as a form of escapism. She was determined to chase a career as a singer and leave Compton despite her limitations. At the age of 16, her world was positively upturned when she was discovered by rapper and record producer, Dr. Dre.
Michel’le caught the attention of Dr. Dre when recording a vocal part for his group World Class Wreckin’ Cru, and her life changed from then on. In the late ‘80s, she became the first female artist signed to Ruthless Records, a label founded by Eazy-E. Under Dr. Dre’s guidance, Michel’le released her self-titled debut album in 1989. The album spawned several hit singles including “No More Lies,” which peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. Other successful singles on the album include: “Something in My Heart,” and the sleeper hit, “Nicety.” Michel’le was felt throughout the ‘90s and was certified Gold in the U.S. six months after its release.
She was also a featured artist on 2Pac’s song “Run Tha Streetz,” from his acclaimed 1996 album, All Eyez On Me. She also appeared on several other projects before taking a hiatus. Michel’le marked her return to the music scene with the release of her sophomore studio album in 1998, nine years after her debut. The album, Hung Jury, did not enjoy the level of success Michel’le did, however.

Michel’le and Dr. Dre began dating soon after they met. They share a son, Marcel, born in 1991. However, it wasn’t all rosy concerning Michel’le and her relationship with Dr. Dre. Indeed, he changed her life by giving her a platform for her talents, but she also suffered a strained and abusive relationship with him, which included multiple instances of domestic violence. In an interview with VladTV, the singer spoke about his infidelity, as well as his physical violence.
“I was getting dragged on the floor… shot at,” she said. “He shot at me… and I left the bullet in the door.” While she admitted “he never tried to shoot her anymore,” she did refer to the beatings as “a lot.” When asked about the movie StraightOuttaCompton, which was widely anticipated at the time, Michel’le insisted she would probably not make it to the biopic. “Why would Dre put me in it?” she said. “I was just a quiet girlfriend who got beat up and told to sit down and shut up.”
Shortly after the movie was released, Dr. Dre shared a statement to the New York Times, apologizing to the singer. However, she felt as though it wasn’t genuine. “He apologized to the public. I don’t think that was an apology to me, because if it was, he would’ve either called me without the public and said ‘Michel’le, I am so sorry for what I did to you 20-something years ago,’ that’s an apology,” she told the Huffington Post. The following year, she narrated Lifetime’s documentary, Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel’le, which explored her relationship with both West Coast moguls.
Michel’le’s unique speaking style, characterized by her high-pitched and childlike voice, set her apart from other artists in the genre. Nonetheless, she could tame any audience with the vast size of her singing voice. Her vocals added a distinctive touch to the West Coast Hip Hop and R&B sound of the era. Consequently, that increased the appeal and intrigue of her sound, and music even further.
Her career may not have enjoyed the level of longevity she had the potential for. After her first child was born, Michel’le took time off from music, which was detrimental to her career. Despite it all, Michel’le definitely made her mark in the R&B music scene. She will always be regarded as a trailblazer in the genre, known for her unforgettable voice, and memorable songs.
When reports surfaced that Keefe D was being looked at as the main suspect in Tupac’s unsolved murder, it became huge news. Since 1996, there has been plenty of speculation over who took the rap superstar’s life, but no arrests. After authorities announced Keefe D was facing imminent charges, there was buzz the case would finally come to an end.
Sixty-year-old Keefe D has deep ties to the late rap legend Eazy-E and the South Side Compton Crips. Everybody wanted to know more about the man. Who is he? What is his connection to Tupac? Here’s a deeper look into Keefe D and his relation to the Tupac murder investigation.
Keefe D said he first met Diddy in 1991 when Puff was working on an Usher video. Keefe let them use some of his cars for the shoot, with Usher damaging one when dancing on it. Diddy covered the cost, which seemed like a friendly gesture at the time. However, Keefe would see that things aren’t always what they seem.
The Murder Of Tupac

On September 7, 1997, Tupac was in Las Vegas with Suge Knight and some of his Death Row associates. One of the guys pointed out Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, a Southside Compton Crip, and accused Anderson of trying to rob him. Orlando just happened to be the nephew of Keefe D. As the story goes, Tupac ran up on Orlando, and a whole melee ensued.
Hours later, Suge drove to another spot with Tupac as his passenger. Before they could arrive, a car pulled up next to them and opened fire. Tupac was hit four times and ended up dying six days later on September 13. The hip-hop world was left shocked and in mourning. Everybody wondered who could have killed the rap legend.
The Keefe D Connection
Plenty of conspiracies spun the block as the streets began talking and the investigation heated up. Orlando and Keefe D’s names were soon brought into the mix, with many pointing fingers at Orlando as the shooter. He continuously denied his involvement. Even after Orlando died in a gang-related shootout in 1998, numerous documentaries, witnesses, and police investigations have named Orlando as the main suspect. Since Orlando was gone, the focus often turned to Keefe. Multiple times, he put himself in that position.
The Keefe D Admission
In a 2018 interview, Keefe admitted he was in the backseat of the car when Tupac was shot. He boasted he was the one who handed the gun to the shooter. While he wouldn’t name the shooter, he acknowledged he was “the only one alive” who knew what happened that night. Keefe claimed he was speaking out because he had cancer and wanted the truth to be told.
Eventually, according to The Daily Mail, Keefe D named Orlando as the shooter “during a taped conversation under immunity.” He said he first tried to give the gun to another guy in the car, Dre Smith. After Dre refused, Keefe gave it to Orlando, who “popped the dudes.” Further, around this time, there were reports that an arrest was “imminent,” but that didn’t happen. The authorities said they were still investigating Tupac’s death, which remained an open case. The whodunit continued.
New Keefe D Investigation
In 2023, everything changed. Reggie Wright Jr., the former head of security at Death Row Records, predicted there would be some movement in the case. He told Bomb1st, “Let’s put it this way, I bet Keefe D [has] been having the runs for the last two weeks.” He added, “Because yeah, they are knocking on doors and there’s some activity.” Keefe said it wasn’t true and claimed, “This dude obsessed with me … He need to leave me the f*ck alone.”
Reggie ended up being right. On July 17, 2023, the police executed a search on a Henderson, Nevada property connected to Keefe. They looked for any evidence connected to Tupac’s murder. According to police, they found several bullets that would undergo forensic testing to match those found in Tupac’s body and on the scene. Police also gathered photos, computers, and more.
The home turned out to be that of Keefe D’s ex-wife. He admitted that murder-related evidence was located at the residence. While authorities collected various items, they said they would present the evidence to a grand jury. They warned it could take months before the jury came back with a decision.
Diddy-Keefe D Connection
Shortly afterward, Keefe explained that his connection to Diddy landed him in the investigation’s crosshairs. Keefe said he regretted ever meeting Diddy. “If I wouldn’t have ever met him, I wouldn’t have ever been involved in this bullsh*t. I would’ve never met the brother.” He also accused Diddy of playing him and Suge. He said, “Because he pitted us against each other, which was kinda smart. We’re Crips and Suge was Bloods.”
Pressing Forward
The bullets police collected from Keefe D’s residence didn’t match the ones found at Tupac’s murder scene. However, that didn’t mean he was off the hook. Authorities said some evidence showed “individuals who might have been connected to people directly or indirectly involved in the drive-by shooting.”
Sources told The Daily Mail that prosecutors expected “this matter to become a criminal case imminently.” Detectives said, “Keefe has gloated so much about this that he has effectively talked himself into huge legal trouble.” Some of the biggest evidence against him was truly his own words.
Many are hopeful that Keefe D will go to trial to put to rest one of the most intriguing unsolved mysteries in modern history. Reports have surfaced that Suge Knight might testify if he goes to trial. Although there have been so many twists and turns in this 27-year case, there is hope it could end. The grand jury is expected to come back with a decision by the end of September.
In an exclusive interview with Cam Capone News, Terror Squad general Fat Joe spoke about one of the most infamous, yet unbelievable stories about Death Row CEO Marion “Suge” Knight.
After giving Suge his flowers for his tremendous contributions to Hip Hop culture, Joey Crack went on to explain why Knight was also such a problem in the game. Joe began, “At the end of the day, he did a lot of good things for Hip Hop, the man made $300 million legitly and got it taken from him…he lost his eyesight and eventually went to jail.” He continued about Knight, stating, ” Suge Knight is no different than O.J. Simpson. O.J. Simpson got away with some shit, but then went to get his own shit and went to jail. Some motherf*****s walking the earth know that if you slip on the wrong banana peel, they’re gonna give you 10,000 years.They got a bed waiting for you. it’s just what mistake are you going to make to get in that bed.”
Joe merged into a story about Terror Squad producers Cool and Dre at the BMI Awards in Los Angeles, where they both had their first run-in with the general of “the world’s most dangerous record label”. Both Cool and Dre noticed as they entered whatthey thought was the VIP entrance, that all of the attendees, including some famous, yet unnamed people, were being relieved of their jewelry at the door. At the door’s threshold was Suge Knight, who Joe says was “professionally” taking everyone’s shines. Because of their association with Joe, they were allowed to keep their jewels, but the Terror Squad producers felt guilty for being allowed to keep their ice.
Warren G recently appeared on an episode of the Drink Champs podcast, sharing some notable stories from throughout his career. He talked saving Def Jam, working alongside Snoop and Nate Dogg, and more. The West Coast legend even opened up about an incident with Suge Knight, telling a tale about how a studio session once nearly ended in gunfire.
The artist begins his story by noting how he had previously thought Knight was “a cool n***a.” He describes going into the studio one day, “thinking the sh*t is all good.” From there, he says that people kept telling him that Knight had to talk to him, which he was brushing off to catch up with his friends. Eventually, Suge himself came out to let him know that the situation couldn’t wait. He recalls being pulled into a room with him, and things quickly took a left turn. Unfortunately, someone he had thought he was on good terms with wanted to confront him about some rumors he had heard.
He says he was confused about the confrontation, since he had been friends with the guy for a while. Warren G then recalls his chain being “snatched” from his neck, and notes that he had a gun on him at the time. “I could have pulled that motherf*cker out and started bussin,’” he explains. Ultimately, he decided not to. He says he knew there was “no winning situation,” if he had, as there were countless people on his escape route that would have shot him, too. Warren G then says a friend of his walked in at that point, and he took the opportunity to “ease out that motherf*cker.”
Warren G then claims that as he made his way away from the room, Suge Knight came after him. “Get that n***a!” he recalls him shouting to those around. He says after he heard that, he “took off” running. Luckily, he was able to get away in time and drive off in his truck. He claims that Snoop Dogg had told him to come and get his chain back eventually, but he refused. Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Warren G.
On Drink Champs, Tony Yayo provided a hilarious account of what went on that day. He explained that dancers and extras on the set began panicking as they yelled, “Suge is coming!” He detailed a chaotic environment as pieces of the set and cameras fell to the ground while crew members fled. “Look, Suge came but this is why I always respected Eminem, 50 Cent and n***as that was with us,” he said. Yayo explained that he was startled by the individuals rolling with Suge due to their face tattoos. Still, he was ready for war, explaining, “If we don’t pop now, it’s back to the hood.”
While Eminem, 50 Cent, and their crew were ready to fight against Suge Knight and his crew of alleged Blood members, Yayo explained that the Death Row CEO was largely waiting to see what happened before he acted. “This the sh*t about Suge. He’ll light the cigar – he trying to see what you’re going to do,” he said. “Eminem, 50, everyone outside. [Suge] lights his cigar. I was buggin’ ‘cause I seen – this is when I knew Eminem was real. He was like, ‘I don’t give a f*ck, man,’” Yayo said in his best Eminem impression. “I was like, ‘Damn, Eminem is a real n***a.’”
Yayo continued, “50’s n***as outside, [like], ‘Wassup?!’ and then the n***a Suge just walked away. Mexican n***as looked kind of confused like they didn’t know what was going on. Eminem came outside 100%.” Again, Yayo reiterated that Eminem stated, “I don’t give a f**k, man!’” and explained that Proof previously had a run-in with Suge Knight where he accused the music mogul of murdering Tupac.

Cardi B has responded to Offset’s recent Instagram post-and-delete on Clubhouse, where he alluded to infidelity. The accusations arose amid claims made by gossip blogger Tasha K on her Twitter, alleging that Offset had cheated on Cardi B on their daughter Kulture’s bed. Cardi’s recent absence from the BET Awards has further sparked speculation about […]
Ice Cube shot down the conspiracy theory that Suge Knight injected Eazy-E with the AIDS that killed him in 1995. The legendary N.W.A. rapper discussed the idea during an appearance on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast. Co-host Mike Majlak was the one to bring up the theory.
“How would [Suge] do that?” Cube asked. “And Eazy would never tell anybody that?” Majlak answered: “No, I mean, Eazy didn’t even know. ‘Cause you just poke somebody, like, and they don’t even know. Maybe they were at a club or some shit.”

Cube didn’t back down on his skepticism: “Nah, I think if somebody poke you with one of them goddamn needles, you know. You know. I mean, I’m just saying… just say this happened, Eazy would tell somebody, ‘This muthafucka poked me with some shit!’ Now, if he was unconscious and — I don’t know. It’s like… I don’t know. It just sounds… um… if Eazy would have known he got poked, he would’ve said something. If he didn’t know he got poked, then the conspiracy lives on.”
When asked whether he would put it past Knight to do something so despicable, he did admit, “I don’t put shit past nobody.” Elsewhere in the interview, Cube discusses Kevin Hart owing him money, Kendrick Lamar carrying West Coast hip-hop, the Lakers’ chances to win another NBA championship with LeBron James, 2Pac & Biggie’s impact on hip-hop, and more. Check out his appearance on the Impaulsive podcast below.
Ice Cube On The Death Of Eazy-E
Eazy-E passed away at just 31 years old on March 26, 1995, due to AIDS-induced pneumonia. He had been hospitalized weeks earlier with a violent cough that resulted in his diagnosis. Eazy-E only announced his illness to the public days before his death.
Rapper Ice Cube recently made an appearance on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast. During the interview, Paul encouraged him to discuss known rival Suge Knight. The artist wasn’t interested in diving too deep into the topic of the music executive, however, he did share “one of the funniest stories” he had heard about Knight.
In the appearance, Paul asked, “Isn’t Suge a little unhinged?” The artist responded, telling the YouTuber, “I don’t know.” Paul then brought up hearing that Knight “ran over someone, twice.” Ice Cube, again, responded with, “I don’t know about that.” Ice Cube went on to share “one of the funniest stories [he] heard” about the now-incarcerated executive. “Suge had an apartment full of producers,” he said. The rapper continued, “I guess they wasn’t coming up with the right songs. And he gathered them all up and said, ‘Look, either y’all start producing some hits, or I’ma start producing some hits.’”
The rapper also recently received praise on the same Paul brother’s podcast. Comedian Kevin Hart discussed his relationship with the rapper during his visit to Impaulsive. “Cube might be one of the most genuine, kindest spirits that you can be around,” he shared. Hart went on, “He wants nothing but good for other people. He loves to see the people around him succeed- he’s such a creative mind.” The comedian claims, “That’s all he does,” saying, “He loves the foundation of creativity.” Hart calls Ice Cube, “One of the most professional people [he’s] worked with on set.”
Ice Cube spoke about the state of America earlier this year, calling it “uneasy.” In an interview with Wall Street‘s Maria Bartiromo, he revealed that the goal of his basketball league, BIG3, is to make cities “A little better than [they] found them.” He added, “Everybody got to do their part. The BIG3, we’re going from city to city this year.” The rapper continued, saying, “Everybody’s got to look in the mirror and say, ‘What can I do to make things better?’”
Suge Knight is perhaps Hip-Hop’s most infamous villain of all time. The former Death Row Records CEO is currently serving a prison sentence for voluntary manslaughter. Yet, this is just one of many instances of violence throughout Suge’s life. Knight’s career is marred in sadistic violence, much of which has been documented in interviews or writing. Many rappers, executives, and other people within the music industry have shared their own stories as the legend of Suge Knight continues to grow with time. Here’s a look at five of the craziest Suge Knight stories.
In an interview with Cam Capone News in 2019, Eminem’s former bodyguard, Big Naz, spoke about when Suge Knight sent goons to Hawaii for Eminem, Dr. Dre, and Snoop Dogg. At the time, Snoop and Suge were engaged in a feud after Snoop left Death Row Records to sign with No Limit. While Snoop prepared for a show with Dr. Dre and Eminem in Hawaii, things went bad. According to Big Naz, Suge sent around 50 goons from Los Angeles to disrupt the event.
About the event, Big Naz stated, “The scariest moment is when we went to Hawaii. When the plane landed we are greeted by twenty Honolulu police officers, and they told us that Death Row is here — they tried to hem [Snoop Dogg] up. Suge Knight had sent fifty guys to try to break up the show. When we got there, vacation mode was over, we were lockin’-n-loading, putting on bulletproof vests with their wives and girlfriends sitting next to them. We had to have Interscope pick up the tab to put Honolulu police with each bodyguard because of how deep Suge was over there.”
Big Naz also mentioned that the goons were on the plane back to Los Angeles with them. Naz had a confrontation with some of them on the plane that did not get violent. Eminem also told one of them that he was not working with Suge while on the flight. The incident, fortunately, did not result in violence. However, it showed just how far Suge Knight would go to get what he wanted.
Napoleon’s Story About Standing Up To Suge Knight
Another Suge Knight story comes from Outlawz member Napoleon’s Bomb1st interview in 2022. In the interview, Napoleon told the story of the first time he stood up to Suge Knight. While in New York for Tupac’s Saturday Night Live performance, things almost got violent between Napoleon, Suge, and Tupac. Suge took one of Napoleon’s friends into a room for allegedly disrespecting him, and things escalated from there.
While speaking about the incident, Napoleon stated, “Suge took one of my homies in a room, and he was mad at something he said. I went in there, and I remember pushing Suge’s hand because he was pointing at one of my homies. And, when I pushed his hand, then Pac got mad at me.” Tupac expected Napoleon to fall in line and side with Suge, as he asked him to “bomb” on his homie. However, Napoleon refused, as he knew the violent extent Suge could have gone to.
According to Napoleon, he may have also saved Suge that night. His homie’s uncle, known as “The Reaper,” was pacing outside the room and ready to intervene. Thankfully, Napoleon was able to act first. However, as we’ll see in the next story, things could have worsened for Napoleon and his friend.
Allegedly Making A Promoter Drink His Urine
This Suge Knight story comes from excerpts published in the New York Times from Hip-Hop journalist Ronin Ro’s book Have Gun Will Travel: The Spectacular Rise and Violent Fall of Death Row Records. The entire book examines the inner workings of Death Row Records, yet this story is particularly crazy. Ro claims that Suge made a promoter drink his urine after beating him with champagne bottles.
On Suge’s actions, Ro wrote, “If Suge felt someone was trying to cheat him, the offender would be dragged into a storeroom by his goons and pounded to a bloody pulp. Death Row employees went about their filing and faxing as bloodcurdling shrieks filled the office. They saw the doorknob jerking, knowing that people were desperately trying to escape a beating.”
Suge allegedly took it one step further with Mark Anthony Bell at a Christmas party in 1995. After refusing to reveal Diddy’s home address, Bell was dragged into a room for a beating. After being assaulted with champagne bottles, Suge allegedly forced Bell to drink his urine. Despite the insanity of this story, it is just one of many detailing how sadistic Suge could be.
Allegedly Spat In Lyor Cohen’s Face During Prison Visit
On an episode of the Boss Talk 101 podcast in 2023, former Death Row Records executive Reggie Wright Jr. alleged that Suge spit in Lyor Cohen’s face over Snoop Dogg’s deal. At the time, Lyor Cohen was the co-president of Def Jam Records. Cohen visited Suge in prison to negotiate an agreement for Snoop Dogg. However, his asking price was too high. This led to Suge allegedly spitting in his face while incarcerated.
On the incident, Wright Jr. said, “He comes and offers Suge $7 million. ‘Tell Lyor the most that I can get for Snoop is $7 million.’ Suge never really liked the East Coasters or labels or whatever. And I’m like, ‘Okay, Lyor, yeah, we got a deal.’ Suge goes and tells Lyor, ‘No.’ Spits in Lyor face. Spits in his face, because of however the conversation went. At the prison. At San Luis Obispo.”
This Suge Knight story is crazy for reasons other than those mentioned before. While Suge’s image is filled with violence, Tupac seems to have held a soft spot in Suge’s heart. After Irv Gotti first told the story on VladTV, Ja Rule corroborated it with Toofab. Ja stated that Suge cried when he first met him because he reminded him so much of Tupac.
In the clip, Rule said, “It was an emotional moment for Suge because I think he’s seen qualities in me that I guess he’s seen in Pac. And then actually meeting me, we had, I guess, similar energy to him because he asked me a question, and when I answered, he said, ‘Yo, that’s exactly what Pac said.’ And he got real emotional. This is real sh*t.” He added, “Like when you’re around them, and the first thing you would say is, ‘This is the guy that is responsible and all these crazy stories are about? Because he is a sweetheart to people that are good to him.”
While Suge Knight has been portrayed as something almost inhuman, it is important to remember that he is, in fact, human. As Ja Rule mentioned, Suge could be ruthless, yet he was still a man at the end of the day. However, Suge may be more complex of a man than he is given credit for. More stories obviously exist, like the one about dangling Vanilla Ice off of a balcony. We’re sure more exist in the Hip-Hop-sphere, just waiting to be told.
