00:00Happy birthday to you, everybody!
00:23I always looked at him as just being like this rich Harlem cat who just want to dance and
00:48make money.
00:49No violence in him, but every time I turn around, there's violence.
01:04There's violence with his name on it.
01:10At the time, there's this tension that is going on between Pac and Puff.
01:18Puff wanted to work with Pac on a lot of levels business-wise, and Pac wasn't having it.
01:23He was more interested in Biggie and his crew.
01:29Puff was very threatened by Pac.
01:31He was very threatened, especially if you're an executive who wants the guy to make you
01:36money, and the guy is saying, no, fuck you.
01:40Around that time, Tupac was going to do a song with Lil Sean at Quiet Studio.
01:49Out of the blue, they wanted me to do the song, so I said, all right.
01:52Stopped off to get some weed, smoked the weed.
01:55Then I was getting a page, where you at, where you at, where you at?
01:58Why you ain't coming?
01:59I was like, I'm coming, I'm on my way, hold on.
02:01I wasn't thinking, why they want me here so bad?
02:04We're walking up to the building.
02:06Somebody screamed from the upper top of the studio, and it's Lil' Caesar.
02:10He's like Biggie's side man, right?
02:12We was in the recording with Big and Puff, and I'm yelling, like, yo, Pac.
02:15And he looked up, yo, what's up, little nigga?
02:18I go back in the room, I tell Big, I'm like, yo, Big, Pac downstairs.
02:21He was like, oh, all right, go get him.
02:23Getting to the elevator, and when I was about to walk out, two dudes came from both sides.
02:28Get the fuck back in the elevator.
02:30Shit.
02:32Recording artist Tupac Shakur was shot five times last night in a robbery attack.
02:36After surgery, his condition was upgraded to satisfactory, and he checked out of the hospital
02:41against his doctor's advice.
02:43I think they're trying to rub me out, really.
02:45Robbers don't leave behind $80,000 Rolexes, you know what I mean?
02:49They don't do that, in case nobody knows.
02:52Let's look at the facts.
02:56Puff is there.
02:57Pac has been shot in New York under your watch.
03:01Question would be, who knew that he was pulling up?
03:04Biggie, knowing myself, had nothing to do whatsoever of Tupac being robbed.
03:13That's just a fact.
03:15After everything that has unfolded, I have to think twice about how that situation went
03:20down.
03:21Do you think Puffy was robbed, Sugar?
03:23I believe so.
03:24I do believe so.
03:25I have proof.
03:26You can see now why someone like a Puff would want someone like a Pop out the picture.
03:32You know, Pop was vilified while he was alive, and Puff was exalted.
03:41That's the bigger picture.
03:43And that's the story that hasn't been told.
03:55Obviously, Mark Lee, AJ Brown, what have you, it allows them to get a clearer picture,
04:01stretching the defense horizontally faster, right?
04:04And it also, conversely, makes the defense think a tick longer.
04:08Yeah.
04:09Like, that shit was crazy to me, that shit wasn't there, which is a sign to me like,
04:21nigga, time to order the future.
04:22Time to order the future.
04:23That was a little building.
04:25For the building that I got, you know what I'm saying?
04:29It was a sign to me like that, but I'm saying, that shit was there like two months ago, right?
04:34Puff is in this position where he has all this turmoil, but he's not at the point where
04:52he's saying, where I went wrong.
04:55He's saying to himself, how do I get out of this?
04:59Maybe I can convince some witnesses that I'm not the guy who I am.
05:05Eventually, he's going to get to the point where he's going to ask himself, how did I
05:09get myself into this situation?
05:11And Biggie.
05:2295, he had two of the hottest acts.
05:25Craig Mack gave us flavor in your ear.
05:27Here goes the brand new flavor.
05:30Time for new flavor in your ear.
05:32And Biggie.
05:33Come up in your waist.
05:34Please don't suit up the place.
05:35Why?
05:36Cause I see some ladies tonight that should be having my...
05:39Bad boy was rising up.
05:40My little lab right here, you know, where I cut my deals and all that.
05:44Got my little headset.
05:45He's living out a dream, you know what I'm saying?
05:47One time, Sean was in his office and I'm in a little cubby hole around the corner.
05:51He buzzes me.
05:53So I get up and I go in with my papers and go.
05:57A girl is giving him a blow job at the desk.
06:00He wanted me to see that.
06:03He wanted me to see her face.
06:05And then he was able to get her to do that right then and there in the office.
06:08She leaves.
06:10I'm, what did you want me for?
06:12Ah, I didn't want you for anything.
06:14That was the beginning for me to see this is what's going on here.
06:20Can everybody in here make some noise for B.I.G. for bringing it back to the East?
06:24So the seeds for all of this was early on.
06:28And that came from people in the industry co-signing his activity because it brought money in.
06:40I don't know if y'all niggas know this.
06:43The Juicy with platinum.
06:45The Big Purple with platinum.
06:47The Big Purple in your ear remix with platinum.
06:50That whole bad boy thing was so big.
06:54Faith Evans.
06:55I'm gonna be first lady on her daddy's lady.
06:57Total.
07:00Biggie.
07:02In Greg Man.
07:04The thing over here is Greg Man.
07:06It was a consistent back-to-back-to-back-to-back.
07:13So let me just give you a day in the life of Puff Daddy.
07:17Gets up from wherever he stayed that night.
07:21Heads to the office two hours late.
07:24You might have somebody pulling him over saying,
07:26Hey, ain't you in that video?
07:27Ain't that you?
07:28Oh, yo, here go a demo.
07:29I had the big baseball bat cell phones.
07:35And the phone might ring.
07:37Such-and-such is on the phone calling from jail.
07:39Yo, I'm coming home.
07:41You might have a group standing in front of the office.
07:44Already with the microphone ready to sing.
07:46You love me, I love...
07:48Just to get their shot at Puffy.
07:51Everybody wants to see him.
07:53He is now the new gateway into music.
07:55You're gonna take all of this power and money you're getting now
08:01and play by the rules?
08:04No, I'm the rule now.
08:05I am the exception to the rule.
08:08Puff Daddy!
08:13You know what I'm saying?
08:16One day, it seemed like out of the blue, my door opens up.
08:22Sean walks in.
08:24He had a baseball bat.
08:26Had a big attach-a-case suitcase with the snaps on it.
08:30The stocks were there.
08:32We in a fucking hustle.
08:33We in a grind.
08:34Do your job.
08:35Whatever your...
08:36He wanted me to sign my 25% over.
08:39And Diddy's over me like this.
08:41He wants to stop that.
08:43He wants it now.
08:44I'm not gonna stay fucking lying down.
08:46I'm not.
08:47I can't do that, man.
08:48He said, there's a business deal I need to take care of.
08:51I need to do this.
08:52I need to get this all on one side, but I'll give it back to you.
08:55I'm gonna give it back to you.
08:57Shit ain't fucking funny.
08:58That's the problem.
08:59You don't know how to be a accountant.
09:02And he threatened until I did.
09:07People always say to me, why would you do that?
09:12Like, why did you do that?
09:14Like, that was, you know...
09:20I didn't want to give it back.
09:21I wanted to stay in good graces.
09:23I still wanted to be at the company.
09:26It wasn't like he was firing me.
09:29But I was definitely confused by it.
09:33It might sound strange, but if you've ever built something and you want it to last, you think about how to make it last.
09:42I thought he was kind of cool at first, and then we started seeing some things.
10:03Craig started becoming disenchanting.
10:07I want to congratulate Craig Mack on his Grammy nomination.
10:11No question.
10:12Yes, baby, yeah.
10:13That's cool.
10:14Yo, you got nominated for a Grammy, but we had no money.
10:19If you look at Bad Boy, Bad Boy didn't sell enough records to explain his wealth.
10:26But enough artists were on the label that sold enough records to explain his wealth.
10:34Someone's trick was, I'm going to make you a star.
10:36You sign, follow the money.
10:38That's what you're going to try to do as hard as you can.
10:41You're going to try your best, and we know you're going to try your best.
10:44So you sign your deal.
10:45We gave you your advance.
10:46At Uptown, that's the only money the artists have ever seen, that first advance.
10:50Andre had to wait it.
10:51He never saw anything else.
10:52Did he pick that up?
10:54He made it even tighter.
10:57Don't leave the girl around me, true player for real.
11:00Let's Puff that be.
11:01It's a shell game.
11:03You hide everything that is an earning.
11:06You confuse the earnings.
11:08And now I own everything.
11:09You'll go out into the world.
11:11In the shell game, you'll be looking for your money for the next 20 years.
11:14Sean did that to every artist.
11:18You're in the studio.
11:20Now you have to recoup for being in the studio.
11:23Puff owns the studio.
11:26And I have four sessions, which you owe me $400,000.
11:30If Puff records a song with his artist, he pays himself.
11:36If he's in your video, he pays himself.
11:39He insert himself into their videos.
11:42A video come on, you'll be like, I fucking hate that guy.
11:44As an artist, you can go number one.
11:46The song is being played all over the nation.
11:49But you don't have the money to go to it because you're not making the proper money off of your royalties.
11:55Craig and I hit a point where we were fucked up.
12:01No money, nothing.
12:02Hell, I was getting money from my father to take care of the house.
12:08We were all at, like, somebody's album release party.
12:13And Craig's going to tell Puff to give him a few dollars and he'll hit him back once he went and did this show.
12:19He literally went in his pocket and pulled out a knot of money this big and gave him $100 bill.
12:30You really just don't give a fuck.
12:34I think Sean had an envy for his own artists.
12:40He was jealous of their talent and wondering, like, this talent is wasted on people who don't even really know what to do.
12:47And if I had that talent in my know-how, wow.
12:51That's interesting because a lot of people Puffy's age want to grab this mic and rap.
12:56But Puffy, you wanted to do other things and you're doing a lot of them.
13:00Can you talk about his skills as a rapper?
13:02Sucks.
13:03He has zero talent musically, nothing.
13:05He don't know how to discuss.
13:06He don't know nothing about R&B.
13:07He don't know none of that stuff.
13:08He used to ask me to always be there on the sessions because I would tell the truth.
13:12I'd be like, that's not it.
13:14People would be there like, yeah, that was tight.
13:16That was tight.
13:17I'd be like, look, for real, you got a lot of people who just tell you anything.
13:21That sucked.
13:22It doesn't sound good and it makes no sense.
13:26But he always wanted to be an artist.
13:30We're about to just drop our R&B stuff.
13:32The Puff Daddy album.
13:33Yeah, what about the Puff Daddy solo project?
13:35Yeah, we don't like to talk about that to me.
13:38Sean used other methods and ways to get the way he had to go.
13:45Big on strategy, big on swag.
13:49All of those things became important.
13:51When the ball down to the music, even if I didn't touch it, I showed you what to do.
13:56So that's what he was.
13:57Damn, you know what I'm saying?
13:58What?
13:59Right here, right there.
14:00Damn, you know what I'm saying?
14:01Shit.
14:02Where's the makeup at?
14:03Makeup.
14:04Right here, man.
14:05The whole bad boy was built on him.
14:08You cannot take that from him.
14:11But I think that Puffy wanted the light, like he always wanted.
14:16From dancing the whole night, you see anybody that's boasted and loud like that, they want
14:19to be in the spotlight.
14:21It wasn't like no secret, that's what he wanted.
14:26Six foot three, 335 pound, Suge Knight has managed to become the head of a hundred million
14:33dollar record company.
14:34It's the record label at ground zero of the whole gangster rap phenomenon, Death Row Records.
14:40Suge was about that money, but he didn't want to be in that limelight like Puff.
14:46He had his own lane.
14:48You're a big guy and there are people who are afraid of you.
14:51There's probably people who are afraid of you.
14:53Back in 1988, the person who did the greatest job of protecting me was the head of my security
14:58at the time, Suge Knight.
15:00Right now I'm on the heartbreak tour with Bobby Brown in New Edition and we've been out
15:04since September.
15:05We're about to get on the tour bus and these dudes came over and he was like talking crazy.
15:09Y'all niggas this, y'all niggas that, this, this, this.
15:14And I seen Suge kind of just turned this way and gave him one of these.
15:20Bam!
15:21Like that.
15:22And knocked dude down the hill.
15:24And it looked like a cartoon.
15:25Dude was rolling down the hill.
15:27Boom, boom.
15:28It's Tim's skateboard.
15:29He's a street dude.
15:31He's a real street dude.
15:33But Suge knew talent and he knew business.
15:36They took me on tour and I learned how every person who's writing songs is getting beat
15:43out their money, like they're publishing.
15:44He was able to dovetail that into starting Death Row Records.
15:48One, two, three, bring it to the folk.
15:51Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre is at the door.
15:54Death Row can be bigger than Motel or Sony or Warner Brothers.
15:59Death Row is going to be the biggest record company there is.
16:02Chronic album is the foundation.
16:04Before Bad Boy, Death Row was the most successful label in the business.
16:11Sean had admired Death Row and wanted us to emulate them.
16:17And that was my job.
16:19How do I make Bad Boy equal to success of Death Row?
16:24And of course, my eyes was like this.
16:26Death Row?
16:27They had a head start.
16:29They had artists.
16:30They picked superstars up from other indie labels.
16:32We're starting off.
16:34Me and him were friends.
16:36Wow.
16:37Yeah, yeah.
16:38He would pick me up from the airport.
16:39You know, I was just networking with the brother and show me a lot of love.
16:43You know, I really had thought we were cool.
16:46Me and Puffy, we used to run around with each other.
16:48He was getting into business.
16:49I was in the business.
16:51Living life without fear.
16:53Putting fire...
16:54Only a few years later, Bad Boy, Death Row.
16:57Death Row is the label that pays, man.
16:59The two hottest labels.
17:02But I would look over at Death Row and say,
17:05they're taking care of their artists better than we are.
17:08They're putting your head, fuck the artists.
17:11And my thing was opposite.
17:13It's about me and my people.
17:15Fuck you.
17:17Craig wasn't happy there.
17:20Death Row was courting him.
17:22Because Should was opening up a Death Row East.
17:25And it was found out.
17:27Shot by the face.
17:28Yes.
17:29It's the Source Hip Hop Music Awards!
17:39The Source Awards was happening in New York City.
17:46Come on, New York!
17:48And behind the scenes, people were running back and forth to the next dressing room, to the next dressing room, which were in trailers, parked outside of Madison Square Garden.
17:58How important is it to have the Source Awards?
18:01Let me just wait and find it.
18:03You got that?
18:04Come on, man. Who bagging on the door like that?
18:06What is the deal, man? Keep the door closed!
18:10And it escalated with words from the podium at the awards show.
18:15Any artists out there who want to be an artist and want to stay a star and don't want to have to worry about the executive producer trying to be all in the videos, all on the record, dancing.
18:27Come to Death Row.
18:37I'm the executive producer that a comment was made about a little bit earlier.
18:41But check this out.
18:42Contrary to what other people may feel, I would like to say that I'm very proud of Dr. Dre, of Death Row, and Shook Knight for their accomplishments.
18:51You know what I'm saying?
18:53I'm a positive black man, and I make music to bring us together, not to separate us.
18:58And all this East and West that needs to stop.
19:00So give it up for everybody from the East and the West that won tonight.
19:04One love.
19:06Sean wants to present strength.
19:08He wants to show coolness.
19:12And then there's a side of him that's all out dark.
19:16He processes things differently.
19:18He remembers every slight.
19:23Once again, y'all, please give it up for all the nominees.
19:27Before I signed with Bad Boy, I was working at the door of the club in Platinum House.
19:48Every Friday we had a bad boy party.
19:52So Puff was there.
19:54Suge Knight came that night with his friend Jake.
19:58And I was working the door.
19:59Suge was looking for Puff.
20:01Sean would try to go after people's side chicks, like a girl in Atlanta that Suge was dealing with.
20:14Sean wanted me to take $50,000 out of the overhead account so he could buy her a diamond necklace,
20:22wooing her because she was Suge's side piece in Atlanta when he came there.
20:31A real police officer in a real police uniform came and got on the shape.
20:37I said, man, you touch the homie. We're going to tear this mother up.
20:41He said, well, I got to throw him out. I said, for what?
20:43He said, he was puppy.
20:44Suge and Jake is being escorted out the club by the off-duty officer we always had there moonlighting.
20:55Jake comes out, Suge come out, Puff come out. Everybody's outside.
21:01A man appeared with one hand behind his back and he was holding a pistol.
21:07He touched Jake with the pistol and he looked at Suge like this and was shooting Suge Fran like this.
21:18He shot him five times.
21:23Suge grabbed the hold to Puffy and the choke hold and put him in the front of him like this.
21:30So he was moving Puff around like this in case you shoot him.
21:33You're going to shoot Puffy. You're not going to shoot me.
21:35Puff was like, it's going to be all right, man. It's going to be all right.
21:43Suge said, what you mean it's going to be all right?
21:47He said, tell your mama it's going to be all right.
21:50Tell your kids it's going to be all right.
21:53And then the shooter ran.
21:59Ambulance came and took Jake to the hospital.
22:02A couple of days later, he died.
22:06That's what started the East Coast, West Coast war.
22:12We're through. We're through. We're through. We're through. We're through.
22:15We're through. We're through. We're through.
22:17Tupac Shakur out of the hospital after surgery from bullet wounds is convicted on sex charges.
22:21After Puff gets shot in Quad studio. He had the rape case.
22:27A New York jury convicted the rapper of first degree sexual abuse, but acquitted him of more serious charges.
22:32Since your period of incarceration at Clinton Correctional Facility, have you taken the time to reflect on your gangster thug image?
22:43Puck and Big were friends at one time. But then once Puck is in jail, Bad Boy and all of his associations were nemesises.
22:56When I'm in jail, strangers is telling me, you know, you don't know? Big your old boy shot you.
23:04Cause they bragging. They telling their in jail. Yo, we just got Puck.
23:08Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
23:11Once the conflict happens, Puck needed someone strong that was going to stand with him.
23:20And it had just so happened that Suge had his own issues with Puffy.
23:26So Suge went to jail and visited him.
23:29The whole shit was like some mob shit.
23:34Into Tupac, a young captain.
23:38I'm going to join the family, dog.
23:40Get me out.
23:43Suge Knight first signed Tupac to a recording contract
23:47when Tupac was in this New York state prison,
23:50unable to come up with the million dollars needed for bail,
23:53while his lawyers appealed a 1995 conviction for sexual assault.
23:59I want everybody to give a big welcome to Tupac.
24:04Out on bail, rapper Tupac Shakur's rushed-to-market double album
24:10All Eyes On Me debuts at number one on this week's Billboard chart.
24:13With the addition of Tupac, there's no way y'all can stop us now.
24:16If you think bad boy, I say fuck them all.
24:21We're coming to the East Coast to prove there is no fear.
24:24Overthrow the government y'all got right now,
24:26which is bad boy and all that bullshit,
24:28and we will bring a new government here
24:29that will feed every person in New York.
24:31All right, cool, man.
24:32All right, man, thanks a lot.
24:35Sean tried everything to get Biggie upset.
24:38He had to go at him with business.
24:41This guy came at us.
24:42I was more on a mind frame of...
24:45Keep your mouth shut, big.
24:48You know what I'm saying?
24:49Just don't feed into it.
24:52If you feed into it,
24:53it's gonna do nothing but escalate.
24:55You know what I'm saying?
24:56Biggie never wanted to be an enemy to Tupac.
24:59As things was coming from the West Coast,
25:01Biggie did not want to give any shots back.
25:05When Pac was producing All Eyes On Me,
25:08he called us and said,
25:10I just fucked Faith Evans,
25:12Big's wife.
25:15We was like, what?
25:16First of all, fuck your bitch
25:17in the clique you claim.
25:19Westside, when we ride,
25:20come equip with gang.
25:21You claim to be a player,
25:22but I fucked your wife.
25:24We bought some...
25:24Well, that's not true at all.
25:26Big is so my husband legally.
25:28I am having his baby.
25:29No, I'm not.
25:30Sean kept putting pressure on Biggie.
25:32You gotta answer back.
25:35Tupac would have me pissed off,
25:36you know what I'm saying?
25:37And the rumors that's spreading
25:40is on some tip like we set him up,
25:43you know what I'm saying?
25:44And that's crazy.
25:45The East Coast, West Coast thing
25:47was invented, period.
25:49Because no matter what,
25:50we all went to the East,
25:51they came here,
25:52went to the West, whatever.
25:52They wasn't arguing with each other.
25:55We was able to roam.
25:56Fuck Biggie, fuck bad boy
25:58as a staff record label
25:59and as a motherfucking crew.
26:01It was this bad boy in death row.
26:05And that right there
26:06put people in danger
26:07because it made people be like,
26:09F you, F you.
26:10And people started doing stuff
26:11for no reason
26:12because it was, you know,
26:13it's just people
26:14that want to ride for each other.
26:16And then look what happened.
26:22Doing the street thing.
26:24My affiliation
26:25was with the Mansfield hustlers.
26:28Today,
26:30we go by Mansfield
26:34Gangster Crips now.
26:36Police say that drugs
26:37and violence
26:38are being spread
26:38by two longstanding rivals
26:40in the Los Angeles
26:41youth gang scene.
26:43Groups who call themselves
26:44Crips
26:44and wear blue colors
26:45and Bloods
26:46who wear red.
26:47Did you guys provide protection?
26:51Protection.
26:51Protection.
26:52Sean Combs was a friend.
26:56Christopher Wallace
26:57was a friend.
26:59And, you know,
27:00when we hanging out
27:01with our friends,
27:02we're going to protect
27:05our friends.
27:06So they knew.
27:09And they were our associates.
27:11You got beef with them,
27:13you got beef with me.
27:14Period.
27:15A number of reports
27:17have come out
27:17that Bad Boy Entertainment
27:18had actually hired Crips
27:19for security work
27:20out on the West Coast.
27:21Is that true?
27:23We've never hired Crips
27:26or any other gang faction
27:28to do security for us.
27:30It would be extremely
27:31unintelligent
27:32to hire
27:33a gang,
27:34some gangs
27:35to do security for you.
27:36A lot of the New York guys
27:38come out to L.A.
27:40Zip is a person
27:41that I know
27:42that was Puffy's man.
27:45That was his guy.
27:48Eric Von Zip
27:49is a drug lord
27:50from Harlem,
27:51but Sean told me
27:53he was his uncle.
27:54He might have known
27:55Janice on the fringe.
27:57He might have known
27:57Sean's father
27:58from those days.
28:00Zip had a relationship
28:02with the Southside Crips
28:04and then he also
28:05had a relationship
28:06with us.
28:08Sean said
28:08Zip can give us protection
28:10going back and forth
28:12to L.A.
28:13because he was
28:14in with the Crips
28:15and we had a beef
28:16with Suge Knight
28:18and the Bloods.
28:19Knight dresses
28:20in all red,
28:21the colors
28:21of the drug-dealing
28:22Bloods street gang.
28:24One of the death row people
28:27got jumped
28:28by someone
28:30at a mall
28:31and that someone
28:33was from
28:33Southside Crips.
28:35One of the Crips
28:36tried to take
28:37a death row chain.
28:39I think that was
28:39an order from Bad Boy.
28:41That was an order
28:41from Puff
28:42because it was specific.
28:45We want a death row chain.
28:48Introducing the one
28:49and only
28:49Iron
28:50Mike Tyson.
28:54Everybody got
28:58what they wanted
28:59that night.
29:00People got to see
29:01Tyson
29:02knock a motherfucker out.
29:04And Tyson
29:05with a left hook
29:06and Selvin is down.
29:08It's over
29:08in the first round.
29:12That's probably
29:13the reason
29:13this guy was all
29:14fucked up
29:15and a lot of shit
29:16from the fight night.
29:17When you've seen
29:18a Tyson fight,
29:19you want to fight.
29:24At the fight,
29:31the guy who was
29:32ripped off
29:32for the death row chain
29:34is with
29:35Suge and Puff.
29:36He just whispers
29:38to Puff,
29:39that's him.
29:40Hey, hey, hey, hey.
29:43It was Orlando Anderson
29:45from Southside Crips
29:47who was connected
29:49with Puff.
29:51Next thing I know,
29:51I see Pac like,
29:52phew.
29:55Took your niggas down.
30:04That was the
30:05foundational moment
30:07when all this
30:08was getting out of control.
30:09I'm out on one
30:11right now.
30:13I got a couple guys
30:14shot
30:14and he's medical ASAP.
30:20Rapper Tupac Shakur
30:21was shot in the chest
30:22this morning.
30:23Shot multiple times
30:24in the chest
30:24in a drive-by shooting.
30:25Death row record label owner
30:27Marion Shug Knight
30:28was also in the car,
30:29but his injuries
30:30were minor.
30:31Craig called me up.
30:33It was late.
30:35He was out there
30:36at the fight
30:37because he was supposed
30:38to have performed
30:39at some club
30:40that Shug owned
30:42and I guess
30:44Tupac was supposed
30:45to come through.
30:46He was like,
30:47how come Tupac
30:49just got shot?
30:51Craig was like,
30:52scared.
30:53Who was he scared of?
30:54Probably Puff.
30:57He ended up
30:58not going
30:59to death row
31:00after that.
31:04Hi, I'm Tabitha Soren
31:05with MTV News.
31:06Controversial rapper
31:07and actor Tupac Shakur
31:08has died
31:09in a Las Vegas hospital
31:10of complications
31:11from several...
31:12I was in jail.
31:13I was in jail
31:14when he got shot.
31:17There was a lot
31:17of niggas in jail
31:18that was celebrating
31:19Puck's death.
31:22I'm glad that, uh,
31:23I didn't kill anybody
31:25or anybody killed me.
31:27But I damn sure
31:28came close.
31:31Police in Las Vegas
31:32say they have no motive
31:34for this latest shooting.
31:35But the rapper's
31:36troubled past
31:37will certainly be part
31:38of the investigation.
31:41Do you know
31:42who was responsible
31:43for the killing
31:44of Tupac Shakur?
31:45No, I don't.
31:48I think that Sean now,
31:50in my mature mind,
31:52had a lot to do
31:53with the death
31:54of Tupac.
32:02In 2006,
32:04I was recruited
32:05to work a task force
32:07that was going to look
32:09at a cold case investigation.
32:11At the time,
32:12Tupac's murder
32:13was an unsolved case.
32:16Gang crimes oftentimes
32:17are difficult to solve
32:18because you don't get
32:19cooperating witnesses.
32:21They want to stick
32:23to a code
32:23that typically entails
32:25not cooperating
32:26with law enforcement
32:27and then taking matters
32:28into your own hands.
32:30It ain't my job
32:31to snitch on nobody
32:32because I would never
32:33snitch on nobody.
32:35We had built
32:36a narcotics case
32:37against Keefee Dee.
32:39Keefee Dee was kind of
32:40the shock caller
32:41for the Southside Crips.
32:43He was the most
32:43prominent drug dealer.
32:45He was very influential
32:46in his gang.
32:47His nephew,
32:49Orlando Anderson,
32:50was a very well-known
32:52violent gang member.
32:55Tupac Shakur
32:55had assaulted
32:56Orlando Anderson
32:57just after
32:59the Mike Tyson fight.
33:01So Keefee Dee
33:02was potentially looking
33:03at a life sentence
33:04for federal drug trafficking.
33:07We wanted to question him
33:08about his potential role
33:10in the murder
33:10of Tupac Shakur.
33:12We let him know
33:13that he could potentially
33:14mitigate some of the damages
33:16if he wanted to come in
33:17and talk to us.
33:18And the U.S. attorney
33:20agreed that they'd
33:22allow Keefee Dee
33:23to do a proper session.
33:25Keefee, today what we're
33:26going to do,
33:26we're just going to go
33:27over with a fine-tooth comb,
33:29do a Las Vegas incident.
33:30So you have to
33:31emphasize to you
33:33it's determined
33:34that some of these details
33:35are incorrect
33:36and everything's
33:37off the table.
33:38A proper session
33:39is when a person
33:40facing criminal charges
33:42can answer questions
33:43wherein self-incriminating
33:45information
33:46would not be used
33:47against him
33:48in a criminal prosecution.
33:50Doesn't mean they have
33:51any kind of immunity.
33:54Hey, I want to say
33:56this story too.
33:57I feel like I said
33:59that day,
33:59don't bullshit me
34:00and I won't bullshit y'all.
34:02You know what I'm saying?
34:03In the year prior
34:04to the murder
34:05of Tupac Shakur,
34:06he has had several
34:09conversations
34:09with Sean Combs.
34:11I met him
34:12and he gave a party
34:13at the Southern Club
34:15down in Santa Monica.
34:17That's where I met him.
34:18The first day I met him.
34:19Sean Combs' affiliation
34:22with the Southside Crips
34:23came by way
34:24of a New York
34:26street figure
34:26known as Zip.
34:29Zip set up
34:30the introduction
34:31between Combs
34:32and Keefe D.
34:33And then they developed
34:35their own relationship.
34:37And Zip introduced
34:38this my boy.
34:39What are you going to do?
34:40This man,
34:40this my friend,
34:41this my nephew.
34:41That's my boy.
34:42My boy,
34:43this Pup.
34:44And after that
34:45they used my car
34:46on the video.
34:47Which car was that?
34:49The 64 Chevy I had.
34:52Every time a little
34:53catch you,
34:54that's the...
34:55What color was it?
34:56Blown.
34:57I was actually a video
34:58when Pup was driving
34:59the car,
35:00I was in a Laker uniform
35:02and he had the little kid
35:03dancing on my car
35:04when it got back.
35:06It was fucked up
35:06and he paid
35:08to get it repainted.
35:15Pup,
35:15he called their phone
35:16and he wanted to speak
35:17to me.
35:18They gave it a VE2 tour
35:19and then I,
35:21he gave us some tickets
35:22and I brought the crew.
35:23Say I want to hear
35:24a new flavor in your hair.
35:26I want to hear
35:27a new flavor in your hair.
35:28Yeah.
35:29Jacket, jacket.
35:30Yeah.
35:30To all the ladies
35:31in the place.
35:32What's up?
35:32Keefy D says
35:33that Sean Combs
35:34kind of makes
35:35this general announcement
35:37while they're all
35:39inside a hotel room
35:40after a musical event.
35:44So it's Harrell,
35:45Puffy,
35:46Zoo,
35:46you.
35:47About 40-some
35:48soft-siders.
35:49Yeah.
35:50That was stupid
35:51as hell too,
35:52you know.
35:52He said he would
35:55kill us anything
35:55for no dudes there,
35:57you know.
35:57Tupac answered me.
35:59Yeah.
35:59He said in front
36:01of all those people
36:01I can't believe him.
36:03You know what I'm saying?
36:05All home full of crips.
36:07So this is after
36:07Jake got killed.
36:09So he was,
36:09he was on point.
36:10He was worried
36:10about something
36:11happening there.
36:12So he got miles off
36:13about a bunch
36:13of different stuff
36:14so he was scared.
36:14He was scared to death.
36:16Yeah.
36:16Okay.
36:16Okay.
36:18Then there's
36:18a more specific incident
36:20that takes place
36:21at a deli
36:21on Sunset Strip
36:22in Los Angeles,
36:23a place called
36:24Greenblatt's Deli.
36:25What made it
36:26a specific,
36:27like, hey,
36:27I'm serious,
36:28I want you guys
36:28to kill this,
36:29these guys?
36:31Well, he told me
36:32the Greenblatt's.
36:34When we got there,
36:35we were laughing at him
36:36because he was just
36:37brought a suck dick,
36:39to suck every dick
36:40in there.
36:40He hung up,
36:41kissing,
36:41whatever,
36:42we were laughing
36:42like I was.
36:43Like, man,

36:52of those dudes,
36:53man.
36:54It's gonna be
36:54a problem.

36:59made the record.
37:00Hit him up,

37:01Yeah, yeah,
37:01that pissed them off.
37:06Yeah,

37:07million.
37:10He tells you,
37:11seriously, man,
37:11I need to get rid
37:12of these guys.
37:12I mean,
37:13he's looking at you
37:13in the eyes
37:14and he's, like,
37:15scared.
37:15He's telling them

37:22He agrees,

37:24Yeah.
37:25What happened?
37:26You know,

37:28I meant our shit
37:28out.
37:29We'll wipe
37:29the ass out
37:30quick,
37:31you know?
37:31It's nothing.
37:34Here we go,
37:35round one,
37:36scheduled for 12
37:37and Tyson comes
37:38right up,
37:39right into...
37:39He says that
37:40when Las Vegas
37:41happens and
37:42they're all out
37:42there and his
37:43nephew gets
37:44assaulted by
37:45Tupac,
37:45they're like,
37:45this is the
37:46perfect occasion.
37:48We was eating
37:49and my head
37:50came and said,
37:52he just beat
37:52up Lange.
37:54He was in the
37:54hotel,
37:55yeah,
37:56at the MGM
37:57at a restaurant.
37:58There was a few
37:58New Yorkers,
37:59though,
37:59with Zip.
38:02Like,
38:02man,
38:02I need some help.
38:04We got this.
38:05It's your perfect
38:06opportunity,
38:07baby.
38:08Remember Zip
38:08coming?
38:09Yeah.
38:09Because of what
38:10happened with...
38:10Yeah,
38:11yeah.
38:12We and I
38:13don't know
38:13Pistol was down
38:13there and,
38:14he told me
38:15in the lobby
38:16that he had
38:16some jimmies.
38:18Some what?
38:18He had a jimmie.
38:20He had a bin.
38:22He had a little
38:22secret compartment.
38:24The thing popped
38:25out.
38:26The vehicle
38:27that Zip
38:28was driving
38:28that night
38:29reportedly had
38:30what we call
38:30a trap in it,
38:32which is a
38:32concealed compartment
38:34where you can
38:35place a gun.
38:37It's a difficult
38:38thing to find.
38:39Zip had driven
38:41that car
38:42to Las Vegas.
38:44A few days
38:45before Tupac
38:46was murdered,
38:47Sean requested
38:48that we rent
38:50cars
38:51and have
38:53multiple drivers
38:54drive clear
38:56across the country
38:57to this fight.
38:59But I arranged
39:01through my budget
39:03to make that
39:04trip happen
39:05for those drivers
39:06and to this day
39:08it stands out
39:08in my mind.
39:10Why did we rent
39:11multiple cars?
39:12Why did we hire
39:13people from
39:14Harlem and other
39:15locations
39:16to drive?
39:19Can you tell us
39:22if, hey,
39:22we're going to go
39:23handle this shit
39:23or whatever?
39:24Yeah, they asked
39:25if y'all want us
39:26to come.
39:27I'm like,
39:27we know where
39:28them motherfuckers
39:28at.
39:29They were telling
39:29they're going
39:30to be at the 662
39:31club.
39:31Two cars
39:32going to 662?
39:33Yeah,
39:34the van
39:34and the cabin.
39:36They didn't show up.
39:37We waited
39:38about 15,
39:3920 minutes.
39:39They didn't show up.
39:41So,
39:42it's like,
39:42let's go get
39:43some liquor.
39:44Then we came
39:45up Harlot
39:46at the Las Vegas
39:47Willoward.
39:49Oh, shit.
39:50I hear they
39:51coming at BMW.
39:52I can't get a car.
39:53On their way
39:54to the club,
39:55Suge is blaring
39:56his music too loud.
39:58He gets pulled
39:59over by some
40:00police officers.
40:01They essentially,
40:02you know,
40:03say,
40:03just turn down
40:03your music.
40:04No big deal.
40:05And it's at this
40:06point in time
40:07that Suge
40:08and Tupac
40:09see these girls.
40:11Like,
40:11they're Suge,
40:12Suge.
40:12Like,
40:13the police were
40:13going through
40:13his car
40:14or something
40:15or another.
40:15And then
40:16the traffic
40:17was stopped
40:18and then they
40:18got in the car.
40:19Did you see
40:20who was with you?
40:21I thought it was
40:22Tupac.
40:23And then he
40:24was like,
40:24come on,
40:25come go with me.
40:26Come go with us.
40:27We're going to
40:27662.
40:28I'm browsing.
40:29Tupac!
40:31Tupac!
40:32And we're like,
40:32there they go.
40:33Just one of the
40:34two turns.
40:35And we just pulled
40:36up on the side
40:36and checked
40:37every car
40:37and see where
40:37they was.
40:38So what directed
40:39your attention
40:40to him was
40:40some girl
40:40shouting at
40:41Tupac?
40:42Tupac!
40:43He gave
40:43us up away.
40:44Otherwise,
40:45it would have
40:45got away.
40:47And man,
40:48he leaned over
40:49on the window
40:50and popped.
40:53Suge looks over,
40:54he sees you.
40:55Yeah.
40:56Yeah,
40:56he's looking at me.
40:57Okay.
40:59Fuck is he doing
41:00what he does
41:00when we were
41:00seven, eight years
41:01old?
41:03I seen a bully
41:04go on Suge
41:04again.
41:05I thought
41:05he was dead.
41:07I thought
41:07he was dead.
41:08If you knew
41:10who killed
41:10Tupac,
41:11would you
41:11tell the
41:11police?
41:13Absolutely
41:13not.
41:16I'm going

42:39Yeah.
42:42According
42:42to Keefy D,
42:43he was never
42:43compensated for
42:45the murder.
42:47But he
42:47said that
42:49a partial
42:50amount of
42:50the money
42:50was intended
42:51to be forwarded
42:52to him
42:53through Zip
42:54to the tune
42:55of about
42:55$500,000.
42:57The million
42:58dollar solicitation
43:00amount,
43:01only half of
43:01it was fulfilled
43:03because only
43:04Tupac and
43:05not Shug
43:06was killed.
43:08Keefy D
43:08has a conversation
43:10with Darius
43:10Rogers,
43:11with DMACC.
43:12He don't let
43:13the DMACC
43:13do this
43:13with DMACC
43:14right there.
43:16And DMACC
43:18says there
43:19had been a
43:19payment
43:20from Combs.
43:21to Keefy D,
43:23but it had
43:24gone through
43:25Zip,
43:25and then that
43:26money was
43:27never forwarded.
43:31We're just
43:32hoping and
43:32waiting to see
43:33what kind of
43:34progress
43:34Las Vegas
43:35would make
43:36with Keefy D's
43:38cooperation.
43:40Nothing really
43:41happens.
43:44Ultimately,
43:45Zip
43:45dies from
43:46cancer.
43:47Thank you for
43:48coming out
43:48to Zips,

43:54And Orlando
43:54Anderson

43:58So,
43:59it's really
44:00Keefy D
44:00and Puffy Combs
44:02are the last
44:02men standing.
44:03They can be
44:04held accountable
44:05for Tupac
44:06Shakur's murder.
44:06waiting patiently
44:19looking to see
44:20if that's you.
44:24Put this
44:25on up.
44:26I'm going to walk
44:26with you.
44:27All right.
44:28I'm at the
44:28sign.
44:29Mm-hmm.
44:30take that
44:48on.
44:48All right.
44:50That's
44:50moving
44:50through.
44:51Moving
44:53through.
44:54What goes up, must come down.
45:02What goes down, must come up.
45:05Fuck.
45:06I remember 99, we were working in the studio on a song called Muscle Gang.
45:15This is our gang right here.
45:18We ain't playing with you, these niggas.
45:21Come on, man.
45:22The song comes on and Puff is talking in the beginning.
45:25It's 1999.
45:29No more Mr. Nice, guys.
45:31I'm like, what is he talking about?
45:34Talk with me, I dropped a million dollars on your head.
45:37Race you in your own family.
45:38It's gonna start making your niggas disappear.
45:41Everything that's done in the dark must come to light.
45:45Everything that goes up must come down.
45:47We'll be out of here.
45:49We'll be out of here.
45:50Yeah, I'm headed to hunt 13th and Lennox, King.
46:10I gotta catch my man.
46:11Okay, I'll see you up here.
46:15Are y'all rolling?
46:15Yeah, we rolling.
46:16With the backdrop of East Coast, West Coast beef, Sean took Biggie to Los Angeles to record what would be the finishing touches on Biggie's Life After Death album, which wasn't titled that yet.
46:41Yo.
46:47Yo, baby, wake up, wake up, baby.
46:48Diddy, what the fuck, man?
46:49What's up?
46:50Come on, man.
46:51It's a quarter to six.
46:51We got the 7.30 flight.
46:53Going to LAX.
46:54Whoa.
46:55Cali?
46:56No doubt, baby.
46:58We had been warned to not come to LA.
47:01There were warnings all along for the last few months that we are not to set foot on the West Coast.
47:09It was awards show season, and Sean wanted him to start promoting the album.
47:16Come on, Saltrain.
47:17Get about your seats.
47:18Come on.
47:19Get about your seats.
47:21Biggie did not want to go, but Sean talked him into doing all of those things.
47:27Down low, get about your seats.
47:29Come on.
47:30High pop for a freak.
47:31All the honey.
47:32They were like catcalling and booing.
47:42What's up, Cali?
47:43We were not welcome.
47:47After the awards show, Saturday morning, Biggie and I were to go to London.
47:52And we were going to have a two, three-day press jump get.
47:55To have Biggie be one of the first artists from Bad Boy to meet the European press.
48:01I had worked on that for months and weeks leading up.
48:05We were supposed to go to the airport that morning.
48:08I'm calling Biggie like crazy.
48:10What's going on?
48:11Wake up.
48:12He's like, yo, Puff is bugging.
48:14He just called me and told me, I want you to stay here in LA.
48:18I don't want to stay.
48:19I want to go.
48:20But Sean was adamant, cancel the flight.
48:27Biggie's not going to the UK.
48:29What do you mean he's not going to click?
48:30He hangs up.
48:32This was his M.O.
48:34Ego, power, tripping.
48:37All of it because Sean wanted to do a party on enemy turf.
48:43I'm scared to death.
48:51That's how real it is.
48:52I think somebody's trying to kill me.
48:54I'll be waking up paranoid.
48:55I'll be really scared.
48:57I'll just be peril.
48:58That night, Big and Puffy was with us.
49:13They were having a party.
49:15I spoke to Big, and I was like, yo, man, you know, what are you doing?
49:26Cats in LA, man, they get down in these circumstances, man, and you just can't be walking around here freely.
49:42Everybody's mean.
49:45I look around, I say, where's Big?
49:51I want to get out.
49:52Get out.
49:53They're running.
49:54They say, wait, hold up, hold on.
49:55This is the street.
49:57Zoom in.
49:57Zoom in.
49:58One of these.
50:07That's Biggie Mills.
50:08That is Biggie Mills.
50:09Y'all get down.
50:10That is Biggie Mills.
50:11Somebody got shot.
50:12Y'all get down.
50:13What are you reporting?
50:16Yeah, we need an ambulance on Fairfax and Wilshire.
50:20Please, Los Angeles.
50:21We have a man shot.
50:22We have a shot.
50:24Okay, hold on.
50:25I'll get that.
50:25Right on the corner of Wilshire and Fairfax.
50:27Fairfax.
50:29Let's go.
50:29Let's go.
50:29Hold on.
50:30Listen, sir.
50:31I can't hear what you're saying.
50:33We're man shot in our car right now.
50:36Right now, we're trying to roll into the hospital.
50:38I know the way.
50:40See the sign-up.
50:42I gotta go back.
50:43You gotta turn around, Jimmy.
50:44You're going the wrong way.
50:45What the fuck is wrong with y'all, man?
50:47What's going on?
50:48Yo, Biggie.
50:49You hear me?
50:49Yeah, what's up?
50:49What's up?
50:49What's up?
50:50What's up?
50:52What's up?
50:52What's up?
50:53Biggie.
50:56I was following Biggs' lead on, like, you know, we're going to do this peace tour.
50:59And, you know, it didn't work out.
51:06Sean said it on Can't Stop, Won't Stop.
51:08Biggie wanted to go.
51:10You want my five?
51:11You want my five?
51:11You want my five?
51:11You want my five?
51:11You want my five?
51:11You want my five?
51:11Big, you hear me, baby?
51:14He's lying about that.
51:18Sean wanted that trip and was pushing it for weeks and weeks.
51:23He lied about it and let me know that's a weak spot for him, and he's nervous about
51:29that information.
51:30He ushered Biggie to his death.
51:42Who do you think called Biggie?
51:47Next question.
51:50All it was is a Puffy and Suge Knight war.
51:55You're messing with lives here, and that's exactly what happened.
51:58Two lives were lost as a result of what?
52:01Stupidity?
52:03When I sat down with Valetta, we briefly brought up Sean Combs.
52:08It was clear to me that she had no real respect or appreciation for him.
52:13Sean clearly didn't do all that he could have done to help out in the investigation.
52:18In fact, he was a hindrance in the investigation.
52:21Puffy was kind of stonewalling people from talking, because he knows.
52:25If you make inroads on Biggie's murder, you're going to make inroads on Tupac's murder,
52:31and that potentially can lead right back to him.
52:36Now we're Biggie's mom and Faith and the kids taking all this.
52:41Biggie's moms and Faith and the children are extremely strong.
52:44They've been, matter of fact, they've been strong for me and helping to hold me up.
52:49Sean assumed the position of his best friend in every article and publication,
52:56and that wasn't necessarily true.
52:59And I'm going to be there for them, just like he would be there for them to make sure that they're all right.
53:04Sean said, we're going to do the biggest funeral for Biggie that New York has ever seen.
53:09And we start to put that together, he starts to see the price.
53:14And he says, we're going to do the biggest funeral, but Biggie's going to have to pay for this funeral.
53:21He was going to make the funeral be a recoupable charge to Biggie in death.
53:26This is one of my closest friends, and it's still one of my closest friends.
53:33I just, I feel his loss. I just miss him so much.
53:38Sean doing a big show looks good on him.
53:42But he's not going to tell the world that Biggie was going to pay for it.
53:46In Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, the whole hood was outside.
54:00If you could make it there, you was there.
54:03It was a big loss for the city.
54:07I loved Biggie.
54:09Biggie inspired me.
54:10He gave me hope.
54:11He made us feel like you was from the town.
54:13You could make it.
54:14We loved Biggie, so it was like losing a family member.
54:19Biggie just wanted to be a rap superstar.
54:22He didn't want to hurt nobody.
54:26He was probably one of the only people I had really trusted, like, for a long time.
54:30It's not a feeling that I really felt a lot, like, in my life.
54:33I don't really have a lot of friends.
54:35I think people think I have a lot of friends, you know.
54:39I don't think I really make a good friend.
54:41Before he was assassinated, Biggie had an opportunity to be on the cover of Rolling Stone.
54:51We were delivering the elements so that can happen.
54:54And Sean called me and said, pull that cover.
54:57I need to be on the cover.
54:59My solo album is coming in July.
55:01No way out.
55:02And I need to amp that up.
55:07He took the cover from Biggie.
55:14Another thing at the time, Biggie was negotiating his contract.
55:18Every day I wake up.
55:20We acquiesced and gave him everything he wanted.
55:24And then he died.
55:25Can't believe you ain't here.
55:28Sean wanted me to change the agreement.
55:32To more favorable terms for bad boy.
55:35And his family and mother would not know.
55:38And since he had signed the agreement, he wanted those changes to come from out of the center of the agreement.
55:45And have those pages replaced with the other terms.
55:48And I said, that's not right.
55:49I'm not doing it.
55:5190 days later, I'm fired.
55:53It's like I feel empty inside without you being here.
55:57I remember Michael Jackson, the Motown 25 special.
56:08MTV, Madonna Like a Virgin.
56:11And I remember Puff with Sting.
56:13Everywhere else you did.
56:18Never knew you were.
56:21Having a TV moment in music, it's very rare.
56:24It elevates you to such another level of superstar.
56:28It made him rock star bitch.
56:30It's kind of hard but you're not around.
56:33Know you in heaven smiling down.
56:35Watching us while we pray for you.
56:37He became Among Us.
56:39But now it's him.
56:41Now I'm the man.
56:42It was like a dream come true.
56:44To see the lines like in front of the stores.
56:48Like people going there to get my record.
56:51It's crazy.
56:52It all happened pretty quickly for you.
56:53From being an intern to being on the cover of the Rolling Stones.
56:58Thanks for Biggie's mother who's sitting right there for having Notorious V.I.G.
57:04You've abused everyone and used most everyone.
57:08Put your ladies in there for V.I.G.
57:10Everybody put your legs in the hand.
57:12There are horror stories like this all throughout.
57:16Cleared of gun possession and bribery charges.
