Suge Knight has said in interviews that the killing of Tupac Shakur was done “for money.” Suge, like many insiders, has also insinuated that the murder of Tupac Shakur was made possible by way of a group of people conspiring to work together. So what actually happened the night of September 7, 1996 in Las Vegas, and why? Tess has analyzed the entirety of Keefe D’s trial. She pored extensively through multiple accounts. She now has a theory.

Tess interviews former Death Row artist Helecia “SKG” Choyce about her first hand experiences with Suge Knight and Reggie Wright Jr.
