A dramatic end to the trial of the man accused of killing Jasmine Pace. Prosecutors say a Los Angeles woman conspired to kill her celebrity hair stylist husband. Plus, the latest on the Tupac murder case.

In September 2024, Eminem released a new song - the lyrics read:
“I’m like a R-A-P-E-R 
Got so many SAs 
Wait 
He didn’t just spell the word rapper and leave out a P-Didhe?
RIP, rest in peace Biggie and Pac 
Both of y’all should be living 
Cause he might put a hit on me like - Keefe D get em”

Notorious BIG & Tupac were two of the most influential musicians in the world. They were both murdered within 6 months of each other, and Diddy has always been connected to their deaths. 
One of them - he saw as his competition 
Another he saw as his money-making machine. 
Which means - did Eminem just ask the question - Did Diddy kill them?

In addition to lawsuits, raids, federal investigations, and a secret grand jury, the only living suspect in Tupac Shakur’s murder now implicates Puff Daddy, Sean Combs, in the September 7, 1996, drive-by shooting.

A recent court filing for Duane “Keefe D” Davis’ upcoming murder trial mentions Puffy 77 times. Las Vegas police confirm, however, that Combs has never been and is not a suspect.

By the late '80s, hip hop is flourishing on the West Coast, with leading acts like Compton’s N.W.A. In the early '90s, East Coast rappers begin to adopt an attitude of superiority and frequently diss West Coast artists in new albums.

When Suge Knight founds Death Row Records in Los Angeles with artists like Dr. Dre, Sean “Puffy” Combs’ NYC Bad Boy Records rises up to meet it with Biggie Smalls.

The East Coast/West Coast rap feud begins with the near-death of Tupac Shakur at Quad Records in Manhattan. Tupac is invited to record when he is attacked by three armed men and shot five times but survives. Vibe magazine reports that Sean Puffy Combs and the Notorious B.I.G. were both at the studio and may have known Shakur was being set up.

Tupac’s belief that Puffy and Big knew about the Quad Records attack adds to the feud between Combs’ East Coast Bad Boy Records and Suge Knight's West Coast Death Row Records.

Tupac Shakur, along with Suge Knight and members of their entourage, come to Vegas to attend the Mike Tyson fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Members of the Southside Compton Crips, including Davis and his nephew Orlando Anderson, are also in attendance at the same event. Orlando Anderson is spotted near an elevator bank inside the MGM and is attacked. Tupac and Suge Knight then leave the MGM to make their way to a post-fight party at a local nightclub.

Keefe D Davis obtains a gun and gets into a white Cadillac along with Terrence Brown, DeAndre Smith, and Orlando Anderson. They pull alongside the black BMW driven by Suge Knight and begin shooting. Tupac Shakur is hit four times in the chest, and Suge Knight is grazed in the head by a bullet fragment. Tupac Shakur dies six days later.

In March 1997, the Notorious B.I.G. is in L.A. to promote his new album, Life After Death. Biggie shoots a video, gives a radio interview, and presents a music award. Scheduled to fly to London, he cancels and stays in L.A. for an after-party, accompanied by a Bad Boy Records entourage including "D-Roc" Butler, Lil' Cease, Gene Deal, "Tone” Jacobs, Stevie J, and Sean “Puffy” Combs.

The after-party is shut down for overcrowding. Not ready to go home, the Bad Boy Records crew plans to attend a house party. The caravan is stopped in traffic when a Chevy Impala driver pulls a gun and opens fire. Biggie is shot four times and dies just six months after Tupac is killed in a similar Vegas drive-by.

A suspect is never identified in Biggie’s murder.

In the world of hip-hop, few names command as much reverence and speculation as Tupac Shakur.

A poet, an actor, a revolutionary, and an enigma, Tupac was a man whose life was as multi-layered as his music, and whose death has been shrouded in mystery and controversy for decades. His impact on popular culture has been immeasurable, yet his untimely demise remains one of the most tragic moments in music history.

Born in East Harlem and raised on the rough streets of Baltimore and Oakland, Tupac's early life was an immersion in hardship and struggle. This struggle would go on to influence his music, infusing it with an authenticity that resonated deeply with his audience. As his star rose, so did the controversy surrounding him, placing Tupac at the center of debates about free speech, artistic responsibility, and the social impact of music. And then, in the prime of his life and career, he was cut down in a hail of gunfire on a Las Vegas street, leaving behind a legacy of unanswered questions and a murder mystery that remains unsolved to this day.

This story, therefore, is not just a recounting of the life and death of Tupac Shakur. It is an exploration into a complex web of fame, violence, rivalry, and conspiracy, a journey through the heart of 90s hip-hop culture, and an attempt to understand the enduring mystery that surrounds the death of one of the most influential music artists of his generation. more

After the murders of two of the most famous rappers of the 90s, people have speculated and theorized who could have been behind the hits. Some suggest Biggie was involved in Tupac's murder. Some say music executive Suge Knight was behind both.
