In a gripping segment on his podcast Collect Call, Suge Knight, the incarcerated founder of Death Row Records, delves into the mysterious circumstances surrounding 2Pac’s murder. Knight, who was present in the car with ‘Pac on the fateful night in Las Vegas, shifts the spotlight onto Snoop Dogg, seeking a face-to-face conversation to address lingering questions.
As discussions about Diddy’s alleged involvement in the murder arise, Knight redirects the narrative to Snoop, emphasizing the need for a candid discussion. He acknowledges ‘Pac’s positive actions toward Snoop, putting him on the iconic album “All Eyez On Me,” and expresses a desire for clarification if the speculations hold truth.
Among Knight’s startling claims is Snoop’s alleged warning to Tha Dogg Pound rapper Daz Dillinger, advising him against joining the Death Row crew in Vegas on September 7, 1996, cryptically citing that “something’s gonna happen.”
Knight also responds to statements made by Warren G, who recounted learning about 2Pac’s shooting via a Nextel radio while in Los Angeles. Knight questions the validity of this account, highlighting discrepancies regarding security details and radio possession.
Further fueling the controversy, Knight asserts that Snoop Dogg and Daz Dillinger collaborated on a song with one of the alleged killers, DeAndre Smith. The incarcerated mogul contends that Snoop never visited 2Pac in the hospital after the shooting, a claim refuted by Snoop’s accounts of witnessing ‘Pac before his demise.
The rumored fallout between Snoop Dogg and 2Pac, sparked by Snoop praising The Notorious B.I.G. in a radio interview, adds complexity to Knight’s suspicions about Snoop’s involvement in the shooting.
As the plot thickens, Duane “Keefe D” Davis, charged with 2Pac’s murder, is slated to face trial on June 3, 2024. The podcast segment opens a new chapter in the enduring mystery surrounding one of hip-hop’s most significant events.
