2Pac‘s alleged killer, Orlando Anderson, once appeared in a Redman video and even had his own rap album, which has now been revisited by Keefe D.
On April 5 (Wednesday), the uncle of Anderson — the primary suspect in the legendary rapper’s 1996 slaying — sat down with VladTV and revealed that both he and Anderson were in Mel-Low’s video for the 1993 weed-centered song “Blaze It Up” featuring Redman.

“They came and asked us to use our lowriders,” Keefe D explained. “We had a lowrider shop called ‘Compton Hydraulics’ back in the days, my little brother, yeah. And people used to call and ask to use the lowriders. Matter fact, that’s how I met Puff [Daddy].”
Keefe D (real name Keith Duane Davis) confirmed to Vlad that a “Candy Brown” lowrider of his was used in the video for Usher’s 1994 track, “Can U Get Wit It.”
“I met [Redman] that day,” Keefe D said. “After then, we became friends. Every time he came to California, he’ll come straight to my — I had like a tri place on Alondra. Front house: I sold the weed, in the middle house I had the bird stash, and I had this old gangsta that was protecting the shit. He had a couple of raw-ass pitbulls,
“So yeah, [Redman] used to pull up to that little spot, he used to get off the airplane, get in his taxi, pull up to my spot, ‘Keefe D. I need that bud!’ He was ghetto. I liked him.”

He continued: “He wasn’t all bougie, standing up top, like Puff and them, they never came to Compton. They was bougie. You know what I’m saying? Redman, ‘I like the hood.’ You know? Real dude. And you know, we had the best weed in the country back then. It wasn’t no internet, wasn’t no grow houses, no none of that shit. We always had the best weed.”
In the video for “Blaze It Up,” Anderson appears at the 1:41 mark while Keefe D appears at the 2:23 mark. Check out Mel-Low’s video below.
Vlad then told Keefe D that he received a cover for Orlando Anderson’s rap album with a full track-listing, which surfaced in early 2021.
“He started a record company,” Keefe D said. “Jayo Felony, all of them used to come through. I had went to the feds so I didn’t know what was going on [with the album]. I didn’t really talk on the phone once you get in the feds ’cause, you know how they do. But once they was doing that, I went to the feds.”

Anderson, who died 1998 as a result of a gang-related shooting, has always denied his involvement in the killing of 2Pac.
2Pac and Redman collaborated on the track, “Got My Mind Made Up” from ‘Pac’s 1996 album, All Eyez On Me which was the rapper’s first album on Death Row Records.

Keefe D has been long suspected to have had a hand in 2Pac’s untimely death. In 2021, former head of Death Row Records security, Reggie Wright Jr., suggested Keefe D was going to be arrested for 2Pac’s murder in the near future.
While speaking to Bomb1st during that time, Wright said: “Let’s put it this way, I bet Keefe D [has] been having the runs for the last two weeks. Because yeah, they are knocking on doors and there’s some activity.”
In a 2022 sit-down with The Art Of Dialogue, Keefe D was asked if he would be arrested and charged for the murder, to which he answered: “Not that I know of. Unless he the U.S. fucking attorney or something. I don’t know, this dude obsessed with me. What the fuck, know what I’m saying?”
“I said I wasn’t gonna ever bring his name up again. He did that bullshit phone call. Like a tap line or something, ‘this is recorded,’ and he didn’t let me hear the shit. I should sue him and that fucking RJ Bond. That dude obsessed with me. He act like he wanna give me some head or something. I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with him. He need to leave me the fuck alone.”
