00:00Happy birthday to you, everybody, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to me.
00:30Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.
00:38I always looked at him as just being like this rich Harlem cat who just want to dance and make money.
00:44All the ladies look so right, all the papers, all the real players in the motherfucking house, throw your hands in the air.
00:51No violence in them, but every time I turn around, there's violence.
00:57There's violence with his name on it.
01:05At the time, there's this tension that is going on between Pac and Puff.
01:10Puff wanted to work with Pac on a lot of levels business-wise, and Pac wasn't having it.
01:18He was more interested in Biggie and his crew.
01:22Puff was very threatened by Pac.
01:26He was very threatened, especially if you're an executive who wants a guy to make you money, and the guy is saying, no, fuck you.
01:33Around that time, Tupac was going to do a song with Lil Sean at Quiet Studio.
01:43Out of the blue, they wanted me to do the song, so I said, all right.
01:47Stopped off to get some weed, smoked the weed.
01:50Then I was getting a page, where you at, where you at, where you at, why you ain't coming?
01:54I was like, I'm coming, I'm on my way, hold on.
01:56I wasn't thinking, why they want me here so bad?
01:59We're walking up to the building.
02:01Somebody screamed from the upper top of the studio, and it's Lil' Caesar.
02:05He's like, Biggie's side man, right?
02:07We was in the recording with Big and Puff, and I'm yelling, like, yo, Pac.
02:10And he looked up, yo, what's up, little nigga?
02:13I go back in the room, I tell Big, I'm like, yo, Big, Pac downstairs.
02:16He was like, oh, all right, go get him.
02:18Getting to the elevator, and when I was about to walk out, two dudes came from both sides.
02:23Get the fuck back in the elevator.
02:24Ooh.
02:27Recording artist Tupac Shakur was shot five times last night
02:30in a robbery attempt.
02:31After surgery, his condition was upgraded to satisfactory, and he checked out of the hospital
02:36against his doctor's advice.
02:37I think they're trying to rub me out, really.
02:40Robbers don't leave behind $80,000 Rolexes.
02:43You know what I mean?
02:44They don't do that, in case nobody knows.
02:47Let's look at the facts.
02:49Puff is there.
02:52Pac has been shot in New York under your watch.
02:56Question would be, who knew that he was pulling up?
02:59Biggie, knowing myself, had nothing to do whatsoever of Tupac being robbed.
03:08We, we, that's just a fact.
03:10After everything that has unfolded, I have to think twice about how that situation went down.
03:16Do you think Puffy was alive, shooter?
03:18I believe so.
03:19I do believe so.
03:20I have proof.
03:21But you can see now why someone like a Puff would want someone like a Pop out the picture.
03:27You know, Pop was vilified while he was alive, and Puff was exalted.
03:36That's the bigger picture.
03:37That's the bigger picture.
03:38And that's the story that hasn't been told.
03:43So biggie was viral.
03:44Yeah.
03:45And that's the biggie.
03:46Embank.
03:47Biggie.
03:48Yeah.
03:49And that's the biggie.
03:50That's the biggie.
03:51Yeah.
03:52A.J. Brown, what have you, it allows them to get a clearer picture,
03:56stretch the defense horizontally faster, right?
03:59And it also, diversity makes the defense think a tick longer,
04:03which they clearer than they are.
04:04She's a lot of fucking things.
04:06There's a whole lot of crazy shit going on.
04:08You know what I'm saying?
04:09I saw them knock the bad way going down.
04:11Yeah.
04:12Like, that shit was crazy to me that that shit wasn't there,
04:14which is a sign to me, like,
04:16the time to order the future.
04:18The time to order the future.
04:19That was a little builder.
04:20Yeah, for the building, now I got ready for this song.
04:23You know what I'm saying?
04:24It was a sign for me like that, but I'm saying,
04:26that shit was there, like, two months ago, right?
04:29I'm not tripping, tripping.
04:29Yeah, it was there, yeah.
04:40Puff is in this position where he has all this turmoil,
04:46but he's not at the point where he's saying where I went wrong.
04:48He's saying to himself, how do I get out of this?
04:54Maybe I can convince some witnesses that I'm not the guy who I am.
05:00Eventually, he's going to get to the point where he's going to ask himself,
05:03how did I get myself into this situation?
05:06Bad Boy.
05:10Bad Boy.
05:14Oh!
05:16Oh!
05:16This is mad, I get...
05:1895, he had two of the hottest acts.
05:20Craig Mack game was flavor in your ear.
05:22Here goes a brand new flavor, yeah.
05:25Brand new flavor.
05:25Time for new flavor, yeah.
05:28And Biggie.
05:28Bad Boy was rising up.
05:36My little lab right here, you know, where I cut my deals and all that,
05:39got my little headset, just living out a dream, you know what I'm saying?
05:42One time, Sean was in his office,
05:44and I'm in a little cubby hole around the corner.
05:47He buzzes me.
05:48So I get up and I go in with my papers and go.
05:53A girl is giving him a blowjob at the desk.
05:56He wanted me to see that.
05:58He wanted me to see her face.
06:00And then he was able to get her to do that right then and there in the office.
06:04She leaves, I'm, what did you want me for?
06:07Ah, I didn't want you for anything.
06:10That was the beginning for me to see,
06:13this is what's going on here.
06:15Can everybody here make some noise for B.I.G. for bringing it back to the East?
06:20So the C's for all of this was early on.
06:23I want to thank y'all, Alistair Ricketts, BMG, all the...
06:26And that came from people in the industry
06:30co-signing his activity
06:32because it brought money in.
06:36I don't know if y'all niggas know this.
06:38The Juicy went platinum.
06:40Big Pumper went platinum.
06:42In your ear, Remix went platinum.
06:45That whole bad boy thing was so big.
06:49Faith Evans.
06:50I'm gonna be first lady on Puff Daddy's lady.
06:52Total.
06:55Biggie.
06:58And Greg Matt.
06:59The thing over here is Greg Matt.
07:02It was a consistent
07:03back to back to back to back.
07:06So let me just give you a day in the life of Puff Daddy.
07:12Gets up from wherever he stayed that night.
07:17Heads to the office two hours late.
07:19You might have somebody pulling him over saying,
07:21hey, ain't you in that video?
07:22Ain't that you?
07:23Oh, yo, here go a demo.
07:24Puffy's over there.
07:25Yo, what's up, Puff?
07:27How you doing, baby, bruh?
07:28Just doing all that piece.
07:29Had the big baseball bat cell phones.
07:31And the phone might ring.
07:32Such and such is on the phone calling from jail.
07:35Yo, I'm coming home.
07:36You might have a group standing in front of the office,
07:39already with the microphone ready to sing,
07:41you love me, I love you.
07:43Just to get their shot at Puffy.
07:46Everybody wants to see him.
07:48He is now the new gateway into music.
07:53You're going to take all of this power and money
07:55you're getting now and play by the rules?
07:59No, I'm the rule now.
08:00I am the exception to the rule.
08:04One day, it seemed like out of the blue,
08:13my door opens up.
08:17Sean walks in.
08:19He had a baseball bat.
08:21Had a big attaché case suitcase with the snaps on it.
08:25The stocks were there.
08:27We in a fucking hustle.
08:28We in a grind.
08:29Do your job.
08:30Whatever your...
08:30He wanted me to sign my 25% over.
08:34And Diddy's over me like this.
08:36He wants to stop that.
08:38He wants it now.
08:40I'm not going to stay fucking lying down.
08:42I'm not.
08:42I can't do that, man.
08:43He said, there's a business deal I need to take care of.
08:46I need to do this.
08:47I need to get this all on one side,
08:48but I'll give it back to you.
08:50I'm going to give it back to you.
08:52It's a problem.
08:54You don't know how to be a accountant.
08:56And he threatened until I did.
08:59People always say to me, why would you do that?
09:06Why did you do that?
09:09Like, that was, you know...
09:10I didn't want to give it back.
09:16I wanted to stay in good graces.
09:18I still wanted to be at the company.
09:21It wasn't like he was firing me.
09:23But I was definitely confused by it.
09:27It might sound strange,
09:30but if you've ever built something
09:31and you want it to last,
09:34you think about how to make it last.
09:37I thought he was kind of cool at first,
09:54and then we started seeing some things.
09:59Craig started becoming disenchanted.
10:03I want to congratulate Craig Mack
10:04on his Grammy nomination.
10:06I didn't question you.
10:07Yes, baby, you're cool.
10:08That's cool, and I'm sure you...
10:09Yo, you got nominated for a Grammy,
10:11but we had no money.
10:14If you look at Bad Boy,
10:16Bad Boy didn't sell enough records
10:18to explain his wealth,
10:21but enough artists were on the label
10:24that sold enough records to explain his wealth.
10:29Sean's trick was,
10:31I'm going to make you a star.
10:32You're signed, follow the money.
10:34That's what you're going to try to do
10:35as hard as you can.
10:36You're going to try your best,
10:38and we know you're going to try your best.
10:40So you signed your deal,
10:41we gave you your advance.
10:42At Uptown, that's the only money
10:43the artists have ever seen,
10:45that first advance.
10:46Andre had to wait it.
10:47He never saw anything else.
10:48Did he pick that up?
10:50He made it even tighter.
10:52Don't leave the girl around me,
10:53true player for real.
10:55That's tough, Bad D.
10:56It's a shell game.
10:58You hide everything that is an earning.
11:01You confuse the earnings.
11:03And now I own everything.
11:05You'll go out into the world,
11:06and the shell game,
11:07you'll be looking for your money
11:08for the next 20 years.
11:10Sean did that to every artist.
11:13You're in the studio.
11:15Now you have to recoup
11:16for being in the studio.
11:18Puff owns the studio,
11:21and I have four sessions
11:22which you owe me $400,000.
11:23If Puff records a song
11:27with his artist,
11:28he pays himself.
11:31If he's in your video,
11:32he pays himself.
11:34He insert himself
11:35into their videos.
11:37A video come on,
11:38you'll be like,
11:38I fucking hate that guy.
11:40As an artist,
11:41you can go number one.
11:43Song is being played
11:43all over the nation,
11:45but you don't have
11:46the money to go to it
11:47because you're not making
11:48the proper money
11:50off of your royalties.
11:53Craig and I hit a point
11:55where we were fucked up.
11:57No money, nothing.
11:58Hell, I was getting money
12:00from my father
12:01to take care of the house.
12:05We were all at, like,
12:07somebody's album release party,
12:09and Craig's gonna tell Puff
12:10to give him a few dollars,
12:12and he'll hit him back
12:13once he went and did this show.
12:14He literally went in his pocket
12:16and pulled out
12:18a knot of money this big
12:21and gave him $100 bill.
12:27You really just don't give a fuck.
12:31I think Sean had an envy
12:34for his own artists.
12:36He was jealous of their talent
12:37and wondering, like,
12:39this talent is wasted on people
12:41who don't even really know
12:42what to do,
12:43and if I had that talent
12:45and my know-how, wow.
12:47That's interesting
12:48because a lot of people
12:48Puffy's age
12:49want to grab this mic
12:51and rap,
12:52but Puffy,
12:52you wanted to do other things,
12:53and you're doing a lot of them.
12:55Can you talk about
12:56his skills as a rapper?
12:57Sucks.
12:58He has zero talent musically.
13:00He don't know how to discuss it.
13:01He don't know nothing about R&B.
13:02He don't know none of that stuff.
13:03He used to ask me
13:04to always be there
13:05when the sessions
13:06because I would tell the truth.
13:08I'd be like,
13:08that's not it.
13:10People would be there like,
13:11yeah, that was tight.
13:11That was tight.
13:12I'd be like,
13:13yo, for real,
13:14you got a lot of people
13:15who just tell you anything.
13:16That sucked.
13:18It doesn't sound good
13:19and it makes no sense.
13:22But he always wanted
13:23to be an artist.
13:25We're about to just drop
13:26our R&B stuff.
13:27The Puff Daddy album.
13:29Yeah, what about
13:29the Puff Daddy solo project?
13:31Yeah, we don't like
13:31to talk about that.
13:32Hey, Puffy,
13:32we want Jack and him.
13:33Sean used other methods
13:37and ways
13:38to get the way
13:38he had to go.
13:40Big on strategy,
13:42big on swag.
13:44All of those things
13:45became important.
13:47When it boiled down
13:47to the music,
13:49even if I didn't touch it,
13:50I showed you what to do.
13:51So that's what he was.
13:52Damn, you know what I'm saying?
13:53What?
13:54Right here, right there.
13:55Damn, you know what I'm saying?
13:56Shit, shit.
13:57Where's makeup at?
13:58Makeup?
13:59Right here, man.
13:59That whole bad boy
14:01was built on him.
14:03You cannot take that from him.
14:07But I think that Puffy
14:08wanted the light
14:09like he always wanted.
14:11From dancing,
14:12the whole now you see it.
14:13Anybody that's boasted
14:14and loud like that,
14:14they want to be in the spotlight.
14:17It wasn't like no secret.
14:18That's what he wanted.
14:21Six foot three,
14:22335 pound,
14:25Suge Knight
14:25has managed to become
14:27the head of
14:27a $100 million record company.
14:29It's the record label
14:30at ground zero
14:31of the whole
14:31gangster rap phenomenon,
14:33Death Row Records.
14:35Suge was about that money,
14:37but he didn't want to be
14:38in that limelight
14:40like Puff.
14:41He had his own lane.
14:43You're a big guy,
14:44and there are people
14:45who are afraid of you.
14:47There's probably
14:47people who are afraid of you.
14:48Back in 1988,
14:50the person who did
14:51the greatest job
14:52of protecting me
14:52was the head of my security
14:53at the time,
14:54Suge Knight.
14:55Right now,
14:56I'm on the heartbreak tour
14:57with Bobby Brown,
14:58a new addition,
14:58and then we've been out
14:59We're about to get
15:00on the tour bus,
15:01and these dudes
15:02came over,
15:03and they was like
15:03talking crazy.
15:04Y'all niggas this,
15:05y'all niggas that,
15:06this, this, this.
15:07And I seen Suge
15:10kind of just turn this way
15:12and gave him one of these.
15:15Bow!
15:16Like that.
15:17And knocked dude
15:18down the hill,
15:19and it looked like
15:20a cartoon.
15:21Dude was rolling down the hill.
15:22Boom, boom.
15:22His Tim's came off.
15:25He's a street dude.
15:26He's a real street dude.
15:27But Suge knew talent,
15:30and he knew business.
15:31They took me on tour,
15:33and I learned how
15:33every person
15:35who's writing songs
15:36is getting beat out
15:37their money
15:37like they're publishing.
15:39He was able to
15:40dovetail that
15:41into starting
15:42Death Row Records.
15:43One, two,
15:44bring it to the phone.
15:46Snoop Doggy Dogg
15:47and Dr. Drake
15:47is at the door.
15:49Death Row can be
15:50bigger than Motown,
15:51or Sony,
15:53or Warner Brothers.
15:53Death Row's gonna be
15:54the biggest record company
15:55there is.
15:57Chronic album's
15:57the foundation.
15:58Before Bad Boy,
16:00Death Row was the most
16:01successful label
16:02in the business.
16:03From the depths
16:03of the sea
16:04Back to the block
16:05Snoop Doggy Dogg
16:06Sean had admired
16:08Death Row
16:08and wanted us
16:10to emulate them.
16:13And that was my job.
16:15How do I make
16:16Bad Boy
16:16equal to success
16:18of Death Row?
16:19And of course,
16:20my eyes was like this.
16:21Death Row?
16:22They had a head start.
16:24They had artists.
16:25They picked superstars up
16:26from other indie labels.
16:27We're starting off.
16:29Me and him
16:29were friends.
16:31Wow.
16:31Yeah, yeah.
16:32He would pick me up
16:33from the airport.
16:34You know,
16:34I was just networking
16:35with the brother
16:36and show me a lot of love.
16:38You know,
16:38I really had thought
16:39we were cool.
16:41Me and Puffy,
16:42we used to run around
16:42with each other.
16:43He was getting in the business.
16:44I was in the business.
16:46Living life without fear.
16:48Only a few years later,
16:50Bad Boy,
16:51Death Row.
16:52Death Row is the label
16:53that pays me.
16:54The two hottest labels.
16:58But I would look over
16:59at Death Row and say,
17:00they're taking care
17:00of their artists
17:01better than we are.
17:03They're putting your head,
17:05fuck the artists.
17:07And my thing was opposite.
17:08It's about me and my people.
17:10Fuck you.
17:12Craig wasn't happy there.
17:15Death Row was courting him
17:16because Shud was opening up
17:18a Death Row East
17:19and it was found out.
17:22Shot by the finger.
17:24Yes.
17:30It's the Source Hip Hop Music Awards!
17:34The Source Awards
17:35was happening
17:36in New York City.
17:42Come on, New York!
17:44And behind the scenes,
17:45people were running
17:46back and forth
17:47to the next dressing room,
17:48to the next dressing room,
17:49which were in trailers
17:50parked outside
17:52of Madison Square Garden.
17:54How important is it
17:55to have the Source Awards?
17:57Let me just wait in front.
17:58You got that?
17:59Come on, man.
18:00Who bagging on the door like that?
18:01You're telling me?
18:02Dog, what is the deal, man?
18:04Keep the door closed!
18:06And it escalated with words
18:07from the podium
18:08at the awards show.
18:10Any artist out there

18:19all on the record,
18:21dancing.
18:22Come to Death Row.
18:23I'm the executive producer
18:33that our comment
18:34was made about
18:35a little bit earlier.
18:36But check this out.
18:38Contrary to what other people
18:39may feel,
18:40I would like to say
18:41that I'm very proud
18:43of Dr. Dre,
18:44of Death Row,
18:45and Shook Knight
18:45for their accomplishments.
18:47You know what I'm saying?
18:47I'm a positive black man
18:49and I make music
18:50to bring us together,
18:52not to separate us
18:53and all this East and West
18:54that need to stop.
18:55So give it up
18:56for everybody
18:56from the East and the West
18:57that won tonight.
18:59One love.
19:01Sean wants to present strength.
19:03He wants to show coolness.
19:07And then there's a side of him
19:08that's all out dark.
19:10He processes things differently.
19:15He remembers every slight.
19:19Once again, y'all,
19:20please give it up
19:21for all the nominees.
19:36Before I signed with Bad Boy,
19:38I was working
19:39at the door of the club
19:41in Platinum House.
19:45Every Friday,
19:45we had a bad boy party.
19:47So Puff was there.
19:50Shook Knight came that night
19:51with his friend Jake.
19:53And I was working the door.
19:54Shook was looking for Puff.
19:59Sean would try to go after
20:01people's side chicks,
20:04like a girl in Atlanta
20:06that Shook was dealing with.
20:09Sean wanted me
20:11to take $50,000
20:12out of the overhead account
20:15so he could buy her
20:16a diamond necklace,
20:18wooing her
20:19because she was Shook's
20:21side piece in Atlanta
20:22when he came there.
20:26A real police officer
20:28in a real police uniform
20:29came and got on the tape.
20:32I said, man, you test the homie.
20:34We're going to tear this mother up.
20:36He said, well,
20:36I got to throw him out.
20:37I said, for what?
20:38He said, he was pumping.
20:40Shook and Jake
20:41is being escorted
20:42out the club
20:44by the off-duty officer
20:47we always had there
20:49moonlighting.
20:51Jake comes out,
20:52Shook come out,
20:53Puff come out.
20:54Everybody's outside.
20:56A man appeared
20:57with one hand
20:58behind his back
20:59and he was holding
21:01a pistol.
21:04He touched Jake
21:05with the pistol
21:06and he looked at Shook
21:08like this
21:09and was shooting
21:10Shook Fran like this.
21:13He shot him five times.
21:18Shook
21:18grabbed that
21:20hold to Puffy
21:21in the chokehold
21:22and put him
21:23in the front of him
21:24like this.
21:25so he was
21:25moving Puff around
21:26like this
21:27in case you shoot him.
21:29You're going to shoot Puffy.
21:29You're not going to shoot me.
21:34Puff was like,
21:36it's going to be all right,
21:37man.
21:37It's going to be all right.
21:39Shook said,
21:40what you mean
21:40it's going to be all right?
21:42He said,
21:42tell your mama
21:43it's going to be all right.
21:45Tell your kids
21:46it's going to be all right.
21:47and then
21:49the shooter
21:50ran.
21:54Ambulance came
21:55and took Jake
21:56to the hospital.
21:58A couple days later
21:59he died.
22:02That's what started
22:03the East Coast
22:04West Coast war.
22:11Tupac Shakur
22:12out of the hospital
22:13after surgery
22:13from bullet wounds
22:14is convicted
22:15on sex charges.
22:17after Puff
22:18gets shot
22:19in Quad's studio.
22:20He had the rape case.
22:22A New York jury
22:23convicted the rapper
22:24of first degree
22:25sexual abuse
22:25but acquitted him
22:26of more serious charges.

27:16we've never hired
27:20crips
27:21or any other
27:22gang faction
27:23to do security
27:24for us
27:25it would be
27:25extremely unintelligent
27:27to hire
27:28a gang
27:29some gangs
27:30to do security
27:31for you
27:31a lot of the New York
27:33guys come out

27:40that was his guy
27:41Eric Von Zip
27:44is a drug lord
27:45from Harlem
27:46but Sean
27:47told me
27:48he was his uncle
27:49he might have known
27:50Janice on the fringe
27:51he might have known
27:52Sean's father
27:53from those days
27:54Zip
27:56had a relationship
27:57with the south side
27:58crips
27:59and then he also
28:00had a relationship
28:01with us
28:02Sean said
28:04Zip can give us
28:05protection
28:05going back and forth
28:07to LA
28:08because he was
28:09in with the crips

28:28south side crips
28:29one of the crips
28:31tried to take
28:32a death row chain
28:33I think that was
28:35an order from
28:35bad boy
28:36that was an order
28:36from Puff
28:37because it was
28:39specific
28:40we want a death row
28:41chain
28:41introducing the one
28:44and only
28:44iron

29:00with a left hook
29:01and selling his down
29:02it's over
29:03in the first round
29:05that's probably the reason
29:08the guy was all
29:09fucked up
29:10in a lot of shit
29:11for the fight
29:11at night
29:11when you seen a Tyson

29:40Anderson
29:40from Southside
29:42Crips
29:42who was
29:44connected with
29:44Puff
29:45next thing I know
29:46I see Pac
29:47like
29:47phew
29:48took your name down
29:51that was the
30:00foundational moment
30:02when all this
30:03was getting out
30:04of control
30:04rapper Tupac Shakur
30:16was shot in the chest
30:17this morning shot
30:18multiple times
30:19in the chest
30:19in a drive-by
30:20death row record
30:21label owner
30:22Marion Suge Knight
30:23was also in the car
30:24but his injuries
30:25were minor
30:25Craig called me up
30:28it was late
30:28he was out there
30:31at the fight
30:32because he was
30:33supposed to have
30:33performed
30:34at some club
30:35that Suge
30:37owned
30:38and I guess
30:39Tupac was supposed
30:40to come through
30:41he was like
30:42how come Tupac
30:44just got shot
30:45Craig was like
30:47scared
30:47who was he scared of
30:49probably Puff
30:51probably Puff
30:51he ended up
30:53not going
30:54to death row
30:55after that
30:55I was in jail
31:08I was in jail
31:09when he got shot
31:10there was a lot
31:12of niggas in jail
31:13that was celebrating
31:14Puck's death
31:15I'm glad that
31:18I didn't kill anybody
31:20or anybody killed me
31:21but I damn sure
31:23came close
31:24police in Las Vegas
31:27say they have no motive
31:29for this latest shooting
31:30but the rapper's
31:31troubled past
31:32will certainly be part
31:33of the investigation
31:34do you know
31:37who was responsible
31:38for the killing
31:39of Tupac Shakur
31:40no I don't
31:41I think that Sean
31:44now
31:44in my mature mind
31:47had a lot to do
31:48with the death
31:49of Tupac
31:50in 2006
31:59I was recruited
32:00to work a task force
32:02that was going to look
32:04at a cold case investigation
32:05at the time
32:07Tupac's murder
32:08was an unsolved case
32:10gang crimes
32:12often times
32:13are difficult to solve
32:14because you don't get
32:14cooperating witnesses
32:16they want to
32:17stick to a code
32:18that typically entails
32:20not cooperating
32:21with law enforcement
32:22and then taking matters
32:23into your own hands
32:24it ain't my job
32:26to snitch on nobody
32:28because I would never
32:28snitch on nobody
32:29we had built
32:31we had built a narcotics case
32:32against Kifidi
32:33Kifidi was kind of
32:35the shock caller
32:36for the Southside Crips
32:37he was the most
32:38prominent drug dealer
32:39he was very influential
32:41in his gang
32:42his nephew
32:44Orlando Anderson
32:45was a very well known
32:47violent gang member
32:48Tupac Shakur
32:50had assaulted
32:51Orlando Anderson
32:52just after the
32:54Mike Tyson fight
32:55so Kifidi
32:57was potentially
32:58looking at a life sentence
32:59for federal drug trafficking
33:01we wanted to question him
33:03about his potential role
33:05in the murder
33:05of Tupac Shakur
33:06we let him know
33:08that he could potentially
33:09mitigate some of the damages
33:11if he wanted to come in
33:12and talk to us
33:13and the U.S. attorney
33:15agreed that they'd
33:17allow Kifidi
33:18to do a proffer session
33:19Kifidi, today what we're
33:21going to do
33:21we're just going to go
33:22over with a fine tooth comb
33:24through the Las Vegas incident
33:25so you have to
33:26emphasize to you
33:28it's determined
33:29that some of these details
33:30are incorrect
33:31and everything's
33:32off the table
33:33a proffer session
33:34is when
33:35a person facing
33:36criminal charges
33:37can answer questions
33:39wherein self-incriminating
33:40information
33:41would not be used
33:42against him
33:43in a criminal prosecution
33:45doesn't mean
33:46they have any kind
33:47of immunity
33:47hey
33:49I want to say
33:51this though too
33:51I feel
33:53like I said
33:54that day
33:54don't bullshit me
33:55and I won't bullshit y'all
33:57you know what I'm saying
33:57in the year prior
33:59to the murder
34:00of Tupac Shakur
34:01he has
34:03had several conversations
34:04with Sean Combs
34:06I met him
34:07he gave a party
34:08at
34:08that's where I met
34:12the first day
34:13I met him
34:14Sean Combs'
34:16affiliation
34:17with the Southside
34:18Crips

50:32we're trying to roll into the hospital
50:33I know the way
50:34see the sun out
50:36you gotta go back
50:38you gotta turn around
50:39you're going the wrong way
50:40what the fuck is wrong with y'all man
50:42what's going on
50:43yo Bigg
50:44you know what I'm saying
50:45Bigg
50:46I was following Bigg's lead on like
50:53you know
50:53we're going to do this peace tour
50:54and
50:57you know
50:59it didn't work out
51:00Sean said
51:02it on can't stop
51:03won't stop
51:03Bigg
51:04he wanted to go
51:05he's lying
51:10about that
51:11Sean
51:13wanted that trip
51:14and was pushing it
51:16for weeks
51:16and weeks
51:17he lied about it
51:19and let me know
51:21that's a weak spot
51:22for him
51:23and he's nervous about that information
51:25he ushered Biggie
51:32to his death
51:34next question
51:43all it was
51:47is a Puffy and Suge Knight war
51:48you're messing with lives here
51:51and that's exactly what happened
51:53two lives were lost
51:54as a result of what
51:55stupidity
51:57when I sat down with Valetta
52:00we briefly brought up Sean Combs
52:02it was clear to me
52:04that she had no real respect
52:06or appreciation for him
52:07Sean clearly didn't do
52:09all that he could have done
52:10to help out in the investigation
52:12in fact
52:13he was a hindrance
52:14in the investigation
52:15Puffy was kind of
52:17stonewalling people
52:18from talking
52:19because he knows
52:20if you make inroads
52:22on Biggie's murder
52:23you're going to make inroads
52:25on Tupac's murder
52:26and that potentially
52:27can lead right back to him
52:29how are Biggie's mom
52:33and Faith
52:33and the kids
52:34taking all this
52:35Biggie's moms
52:37and Faith
52:37and the children
52:38are extremely strong
52:39they've been
52:40matter of fact
52:40they've been
52:41strong for me
52:42and helping to hold me up
52:43Sean assumed the position
52:46of his best friend
52:48in every article
52:49and publication
52:51and that wasn't
52:53necessarily true
52:54and I'm going to be there
52:56for them
52:56just like he would be there
52:57for them
52:57to make sure
52:58that they're alright
52:58Sean said
53:00we're going to do
53:00the biggest funeral
53:01for Biggie
53:02that New York
53:03has ever seen
53:04and we start
53:06to put that together
53:07he starts to see
53:08the price
53:08and he says
53:10we're going to do
53:10the biggest funeral
53:11but Biggie's going to have
53:13to pay for this funeral
53:14he was going to make
53:17the funeral
53:17be a recoupable
53:19charge
53:20to Biggie
53:21in death
53:21this is one of my
53:24closest friends
53:25and it's still
53:26one of my closest friends
53:27I just
53:29I feel his loss
53:30I just miss him
53:31so much
53:32Sean doing a big show
53:35looks good on him
53:36but he's not going to
53:39tell the world
53:39that Biggie
53:40was going to pay for it
53:41in Bestar Brooklyn
53:51the whole hood
53:53was outside
53:54if you could make it
53:55there
53:56you was there
53:56it was a big loss
54:00for the city
54:01I loved Biggie
54:03Biggie inspired me
54:05he gave me hope
54:06he made us feel
54:07like you was from the town
54:08you could make it
54:09we loved Biggie
54:10so it was like
54:11losing a family member
54:12he just wanted to be
54:15a rap superstar
54:16he didn't want to hurt
54:18nobody
54:19he was probably one of the only people
54:22I had really trusted
54:23like for a long time
54:24it's not a feeling
54:25that I really felt a lot
54:27like in my life
54:28I don't really have
54:29a lot of friends
54:30I think people think
54:31I have a lot of friends
54:32you know
54:32I don't think I really
54:35make a good friend
54:37before he was assassinated
54:40Biggie had an opportunity
54:42to be on the cover
54:44of Rolling Stone
54:45we were delivering
54:47the elements
54:48so that can happen
54:49and Sean called me
54:50and said

54:56no way out
54:57and I need to amp that up
54:59he took the cover
55:03from Biggie
55:04another thing at the time
55:10Biggie was negotiating
55:12his contract
55:13every day I wake up
55:14we acquiesced
55:17and gave him
55:18everything he wanted
55:19and then he died
55:20can't believe you ain't here
55:21Sean wanted me
55:25to change the agreement
55:27to more favorable terms
55:29for bad boy
55:30and his family
55:31and mother would not know
55:32and since he had
55:33signed the agreement
55:34he wanted
55:36those changes
55:37to come from
55:38out of the center
55:39of the agreement
55:40and have those pages
55:41replaced with
55:42the other terms
