Suge Knight Says Tupac Is Alive, Insults Puff Daddy
With Suge Knight making headlines for a new murder charge and trip to the hospital this past week, HipHopDX readers flocked to a story from last year in which Suge claimed that Tupac was still alive.
AD LOADING...
In May of 2014, the former Death Row Records CEO reiterated his belief that Tupac Shakur was not dead. TMZ caught up with Knight that month outside of 1OAK as he proceeded to take part in a rant that touched on why he thinks Tupac is still alive, Puff Daddy, and more.
According to Knight, part of the reason why he believes Tupac is alive is because someone came forward to confess to shooting the rapper, but was never arrested. He also went on to call Puff Daddy a “bitch ass” and questioned why people would question his involvement in Tupac’s death when “every rat” says it was Puff who had the late rapper killed.
