Suge Knight has shared that he believes that his late Death Row artist, 2Pac, is finally “getting justice” for his murder more than 30 years ago.
In the latest episode of Collect Call with Suge Knight, which dropped on Thursday (December 21), the imprisoned mogul reflected on the loss, despite previously defending ‘Pac’s accused murderer, Keefe D.

“It’s been a long time since I was able to talk freely about Pac because we were so close,” he said in the episode. “And the thing is, Pac finally gettin’ justice. And justice for Pac is this: not so much of somebody gettin’ punished, or goin’ to prison. It’s the fact that if you was around Pac, and you had your hands into trying to destroy him, and we got the receipts, it’s a problem.
“I said this from Day One, when we first started talkin’ about it. Jealousy is worse than hate. When your name start ringin’, people get jealous of you. You know, if a person hates you, they can be across the street, and they can see you. They can see you, you know? ‘I hate that motherfucker.’ I hate him or her. Fuck them. And that’s that, right?

He continued: “How jealousy destroy? A jealous person, you’re on their mind every time they’re awake, every time they think of you in their head. So they want to destroy you, get rid of you,” he concluded.

Back in October, TMZ spoke with the Death Row Records co-founder over the phone to get his thoughts on the recent developments in ‘Pac’s long-running homicide investigation.
At that time, Keefe D had been charged with “murder with the use of a deadly weapon with the intent to promote, further or assist a criminal gang,” marking the first time charges have been made in the 27-year-old case.

“Well, surprise, number one,” Suge said while reacting to the news. “Because I don’t think Keefe D would ever get arrested, nor do I want to see him get arrested.
“Let’s get one thing straight, first and foremost: me and Keefe D played on the same Pop Warner football team. And whatever circumstances — if he had an involvement with anything, if he didn’t have an involvement with anything, I wouldn’t wish somebody going to prison on my worst enemy.”
Knight, who is currently behind bars serving a 28-year sentence for voluntary manslaughter, also claimed that Keefe D’s nephew, Orlando Anderson, was not the shooter, contrary to popular belief.
“There were only two people in the car; ‘Pac’s not gonna tell the story, I ain’t gonna tell the story,” said the former record executive, who was sat next to 2Pac and also wounded during the fatal drive-by shooting.

“But I can tell you this: I never had nothing bad to say about Orlando because […] he wasn’t the shooter [..] It wasn’t Anderson, so that’s all I got to say about that part.”
