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.
03:43.
03:52BF kicks.
03:53Ajay Brown, what have you.
03:55It allows them to get a clearer picture and stretch the defense horizontally.
04:02Right?
04:03There was a whole lot of crazy shit going on, you know what I'm saying?
04:10Like that shit was crazy to me that shit wasn't there, which is a sign to me like, nigga, time to go to the future.
04:18Time to go to the future. I was a little builder.
04:21You know what I'm saying? It was a sign to me like that, but I'm saying that shit was there like two months ago, right?
04:29I'm not tripping, tripping.
04:31Puff is in this position where he has all this turmoil, but he's not at the point where he's saying where I went wrong.
04:50He'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, how did I get myself into this situation?
05:07You know what I'm saying?
05:08I can convince some witnesses to the point where he's going to get myself into this situation.
05:11Only once more likely it could go to the agency.
05:14This is Matt, I can't-
05:1595, he had two of the hottest acts.
05:17Craig, Map, Gain was flavor in your ear.
05:18There goes a brand new flavor, yeah.
05:19Some for new flavor, yeah.
05:20And biggie.
05:21Map Game was flavoring your ear.
05:22Here goes a brand new flavor, yeah.
05:24Brand new flavor, yeah.
05:25Time for new flavor, yeah.
05:27And Biggie.
05:28You're driving, come up in your waist.
05:30Please don't suit up the place.
05:31Wow.
05:31Because I see some ladies tonight that should be having a ride.
05:34Bad 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.
05:40Things like that.
05:41Living 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.
05:47Buzzes me.
05:48So I get up and I go in with my papers and go.
05:53A girl is giving him a blow job at the desk.
05:57He 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.
06:05What did you want me for?
06:07I didn't want you for anything.
06:11That was the beginning for me to see this is what's going on here.
06:15Can everybody here make some noise for B.I.G.
06:17for 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.
06:24Alistair Ricketts, BMG.
06:26And that came from people in the industry co-signing his activity because it brought money in.
06:36I don't know if y'all niggas know this.
06:39The Juicy with platinum.
06:40Big Pumper with platinum.
06:41Big Pumper with platinum.
06:42Big Pumper with platinum.
06:43In your ear remix with platinum.
06:45That whole bad boy thing was so big.
06:48face evans.
06:49I'm going to be first lady on Puff Daddy's lady.
06:51I'm going to be first lady on Puff Daddy's lady.
06:52I'm going to be a first lady on Puff Daddy's lady.
06:53It was a consistent back-to-back-to-back-to-back.
07:08So 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 later.
07:19You might have somebody pulling him over saying,
07:21Hey, ain't you in that video? Ain't that you?
07:23Oh, yo, here go a demo.
07:24Puffy's over there.
07:25Oh, what's up, Puff? How you doing, baby, bruh?
07:28Had 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...
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 you're getting now
07:56and play by the rules.
07:59No, I'm the rule now.
08:00I am the exception to the rule.
08:03One 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.
08:37He wants it now.
08:40I'm not going to stay fucking lying down.
08:42I'm not.
08:42I can't do that, man.
08:44He 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 ain't fucking funny.
08:53That's the problem.
08:54Y'all don't know how to be in California.
08:56And he threatened until I did.
08:59People always say to me,
09:04why would you do that?
09:06Why did you do that?
09:09Like, that was, you know...
09:11I 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.
09:26It 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.
09:47I want to know who's been naughty at night
09:49with the device
09:50I 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.
10:06No question.
10:07Yes, baby, yeah.
10:07That's cool.
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
10:26to explain his wealth.
10:29Sean's trick was,
10:31I'm going to make you a star.
10:32You sign, 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 sign your deal,
10:41we gave you your advance.
10:42At Uptown,
10:42that's the only money
10:43the artists have ever seen
10:44that 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 thing.
10:56It's a shell game.
10:58You hide everything
10:59that 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.
11:11You'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.
11:25If 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.
11:42Song 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.
12:03Yeah, I guess what?
12:04I'm just like a piece of stuff.
12:06We were all at, like,
12:07somebody's album release party,
12:09and Craig's gonna tell Puff
12:11to 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.
12:24Yeah!
12:24Yeah!
12:27You really just don't give a fuck.
12:29I 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
12:45in my know-how, wow!
12:47That's interesting
12:48because a lot of people
12:48Puffy's age want to
12:50grab this mic and rap,
12:52but, Puffy, you wanted
12:53to do other things,
12:53and you're doing a lot of them.
12:55Can you talk about his skills
12:56as a rapper?
12:57Sucks.
12:58He has zero talent musically,
13:00nothing.
13:00He don't know how to discuss.
13:01He don't know nothing
13:02about R&B.
13:02He don't know none of that stuff.
13:03He used to ask me
13:04to always be there
13:05on 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,
13:13look, yo, 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 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 stuff.
13:32Hey, puppy,
13:32you know what?
13:33Sean used other methods
13:37and ways to get
13:38the way he had to go.
13:40Big on strategy,
13:42big on swag.
13:44All of those things
13:45became important.
13:47When the ball 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?
13:54What?
13:54Right here, man.
13:56Damn, you know what I'm saying?
13:56Shit, shit.
13:57Where's the makeup at?
13:58Makeup?
13:59Right here, man.
14:00That whole bad boy
14:01was built on him.
14:03You cannot take that from him.
14:07But I think that puppy
14:08wanted the light
14:09like he always wanted.
14:11From dancing,
14:12the whole night you see
14:13anybody that's boasters
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.
14:19Six 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 like 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 people
14:47who are afraid of you.
14:48Back in 1988,
14:50the person who did
14:51the greatest job
14:52or protected 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 we've been out
14:59We're about to get
15:00on the tour bus,
15:01and these dudes came over,
15:03and they was like
15:03talking crazy.
15:04Y'all niggas this,
15:05y'all niggas that,
15:06this, this, this.
15:09And I seen Suge
15:10kind of just turn this way
15:12and gave him one of these.
15:15Bam!
15:16I was like that
15:16and knocked dude
15:18down the hill,
15:19and it looked like
15:20a cartoon.
15:21Dude was rolling down the hill.
15:22Boom, boom.
15:22It's Tim's K-ball.
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 was writing songs
15:36is getting beat out
15:37their money
15:37like they published.
15:38He 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.
15:59Before Bad Boy,
16:00Death Row was the most
16:01successful label
16:02in the business.
16:03From the depths of 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.
16:31Who shook you?
16:32Yeah, 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 showed me
16:37a 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
16:44in 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, man.
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.
17:02they're putting
17:04in 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 she was opening up
17:18a Death Row East.
17:20And it was found out.
17:22Shot by the finger.
17:23Yes.
17:30It's the Source
17:32Hip 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's banging
18:00on the door like that?
18:01You're telling me?
18:02Well, now it's a dog.
18:03What 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 artists out there
18:11want to be an artist
18:12and want to stay a star
18:13and don't want to have
18:15to worry about

18:17all in the videos,
18:19all on the record,
18:21dancing.
18:22Come to Death Rock!
18:32I'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
18:39other people may 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?
18:48I'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.
19:11He 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.
19:44Every 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.
20:23real police officer
20:28in a real police uniform
20:29came and got on the safe.
20:32I said, man,
20:33you took the homie,
20:34we're going to tear
20:34this mother up.
20:36He said, well,
20:36I got to throw him out.
20:37I said, for what?
20:38He said, he was puppy.
20:40Shook and Jake
20:41is being escorted
20:42out the club
20:44by the off-duty officer
20:47we always had there moonlighting.
20:49Jake comes out,
20:52Shook come out,
20:53Puff come out.
20:54Everybody's outside.
20:56A man appeared
20:57with one hand behind his back
20:59and he was holding a pistol.
21:04He touched Jake
21:05with the pistol
21:06and he looked at Shook
21:08like this
21:09and was shooting
21:10Shook's friend like this.
21:13He shot him five times.
21:15Shook
21:18grabbed the
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.
21:48And then the shooter
21:50ran.
21:54Ambulance came
21:55and took Jake
21:56to the hospital.
21:58A couple of 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
22:15is convicted
22:15on sex charges.
22:17After Puck
22:18gets shot
22:19in Quad 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.
22:31Since your period
22:32of incarceration
22:33at Clinton
22:33Correctional Facility,
22:36have you taken the time
22:37to reflect
22:37on your gangster
22:38third image?
22:41Puck and Big
22:42were friends
22:43with friends
22:43at one time
22:43but then once
22:45Puck was in jail,
22:47Bad Boy
22:48and all of his associations
22:50were nemesises.
22:53When I'm in jail,
22:54strangers is telling me,
22:56yo, you don't know?
22:57Biggie and old boy
22:58shot you
22:58because they bragging.
23:00They telling their
23:01Puck's in jail,
23:02yo, we just got Puck,
23:03whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo.
23:05Once the conflict happens,
23:08Puck needed someone
23:10strong
23:10that was gonna stand
23:12with him
23:13and it had just so
23:16happened that
23:16Suge had his own
23:18issue with Puffy
23:19so Suge went to jail
23:22and visited him.
23:24The whole shit
23:25was like
23:26some mob shit
23:27into Tupac,
23:30a young captain.
23:33I'm gonna join
23:34the family, dog.
23:35Get me out.
23:38Suge Knight
23:39first signed Tupac
23:40to a recording contract
23:42when Tupac
23:42was in this
23:43New York state prison
23:44unable to come up
23:45with the million dollars
23:47needed for bail
23:47while his lawyers
23:49appealed a 1995
23:50conviction
23:51for sexual assault.
23:55I want everybody
23:55to give a big
23:56welcome
23:57from
23:58Tupac.
24:02Out on bail
24:03rapper Tupac Shakur

24:27Alright, man.
24:28Thanks a lot.
24:30Sean tried
24:31everything
24:31to get Biggie upset.
24:33He had to go
24:34at him with business.
24:36This guy came at us.

24:49nothing but escalate.
24:50You know what I'm saying?
24:51Biggie never wanted
24:52to be an enemy
24:53to Pac.
24:54As things was coming
24:55from the West Coast
24:56Biggie did not want
24:58to give
24:58any shots back.
25:01When Pac was
25:01producing
25:02All Eyes on Me
25:03he called us

27:53from those days
27:54Zip
27:55had a relationship
27:57with the south side
27:58crips

28:02Sean said
28:03Zip can give us
28:05protection
28:05going back and forth

28:28was from
28:28Southside 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 chain
28:41introducing the
28:43one and only
28:44iron
28:45Mike Tyson
28:48everybody got
28:53what they wanted
28:54that night
28:54people got to see
28:56Tyson
28:57knock a motherfucker
28:58out

29:00with a left hook
29:01and Selvin is down
29:02it's over
29:03in the first round
29:05that's probably the reason
29:09the guy was all
29:09fucked up
29:10in a lot of shit
29:11for the fight night
29:11when you seen a Tyson fight
29:14you want to fight
29:15you want to fight
29:15at the fight
29:25the guy who was ripped off
29:27for the death row chain
29:29is with Suge and Pac
29:31he just whispers to Pac
29:33that's him
29:34it was Orlando Anderson
29:40from Southside Crips
29:42who was connected
29:44with Puff
29:45next thing I know
29:46I see Pac like
29:47phew
29:48took the niggas down
29:51that was the foundational moment
30:02when all this
30:03was getting out of control
30:04rapper Tupac Shakur
30:16was shot in the chest
30:17this morning
30:18shot multiple times
30:19in the chest
30:19in a drive-by
30:20death row record label 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
30:32cause he was supposed
30:33to have performed
30:34at some club
30:35that Suge owned
30:37and I guess Tupac
30:39was 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
30:51he ended up
30:53not going
30:54to death row
30:55after that
30:58I 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
31:14Pac'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
31:28no motive
31:29for this latest
31:29shooting
31:30but the rapper's
31:31troubled past
31:32will certainly
31:32be 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
31:44Sean now
31:44in my mature mind
31:47had a lot
31:48to do
31:48with the death
31:49of Tupac
31:50in 2006
31:59in 2006
31:59I was recruited
32:00to work
32:01a task force
32:02that was
32:03going to look
32:04at a cold case
32:04investigation
32:05at the time
32:07Tupac's murder
32:08was an unsolved case
32:10gang crimes
32:12oftentimes
32:12are difficult
32:13to solve
32:14because you don't
32:14get cooperating
32:15witnesses
32:16they want
32:17to stick
32:18to a code
32:18that typically
32:20entails
32:20not cooperating
32:21with law enforcement
32:22and then taking
32:23matters into
32:24your own hands
32:24it ain't my job
32:26to snitch on nobody
32:28because I would
32:28never snitch on nobody
32:29we had built
32:31a narcotics case
32:32against Keefie D
32:33Keefie D
32:35was 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
32:54the Mike Tyson fight
32:55so Keefie D
32:57was potentially
32:58looking at a life sentence
32:59for federal
33:00drug trafficking
33:01we wanted
33:03to question him
33:03about his potential
33:04role in the murder
33:05of Tupac Shakur
33:06we let him know
33:08that he could
33:09potentially mitigate
33:10some of the damages
33:11if he wanted to come
33:12in and talk to us
33:13and the U.S. attorney
33:15agreed that they'd
33:17allow Keefie D
33:18to do a proffer session
33:19Keefie, today
33:21what we're going to do
33:21we're just going to go
33:22over with a fine tooth
33:23comb
33:24do the Las Vegas incident
33:25we do have to
33:26emphasize to you
33:28it's determined
33:29that some of these
33:29details are incorrect

51:02it don't can't stop
51:03won't stop
51:03Biggie wanted to go
51:05he's lying
51:10about that
51:11Sean wanted 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
51:24about that information
51:25he ushered
51:32he ushered Biggie
51:32to his death
51:34next question
51:43all it was
51:51you're messing with lives here
51:51and that's exactly
51:52what happened
51:53two lives were lost
51:54as a result of what
51:55stupidity
51:57when I sat down
51:59with Valetta
52:00we briefly brought up
52:01Sean Combs
52:02it was clear to me
52:04that she had no real
52:05respect or appreciation
52:06for him
52:07Sean clearly didn't do
52:09all that he could have done
52:10to help out
52:11in 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 gonna make inroads
52:25on Tupac's murder
52:26and that potentially
52:27can lead right back
52:28to 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
52:46the 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 gonna be there
52:56for them
52:56just like he would be
52:57there for them
52:57to make sure
52:58that they're all right
52:58Sean said
53:00we're gonna 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 gonna do
53:10the biggest funeral
53:11but Biggie's gonna
53:13have to pay
53:13for this funeral
53:14he was gonna
53:16make the funeral
53:17be a recoupable
53:19charge
53:20to Biggie
53:21in death
53:21this is one
53:24of my closest 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
53:34a big show
53:35looks good on him
53:36but he's not
53:38gonna tell the world
53:39that Biggie
53:40was gonna pay for it
53:41in Bestar Brooklyn
53:51the whole hood
53:53was outside
53:54if you could make it there
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 like
54:07you 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
54:15to be a rap superstar
54:16he didn't want
54:18to hurt nobody
54:19he was probably
54:21one 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
54:35I really make
54:36a good friend
54:37before he was

54:41an opportunity
