Suge Knight, the controversial figure and co-founder of Death Row Records, has recently made headlines by sharing his thoughts on the long-standing mystery surrounding the murder of iconic rapper 2Pac. In an exclusive interview on the latest episode of Collect Call with Suge Knight, which aired on Thursday, December 21, Knight expressed his belief that justice is finally being served for the slain artist, more than 30 years after the tragic incident.
The enigmatic circumstances surrounding 2Pac's death have haunted fans and investigators alike since that fateful night in 1996. Now, with the recent arrest of Duane "Keefe D" Davis, the only remaining suspect still alive, the case seems to be inching closer to resolution. Davis has been charged with the rapper's murder, marking a significant development in the 27-year-old investigation.
Greg Kading, a retired LAPD detective who led an interagency task force investigating the murders of both 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G., has pointed a finger at none other than Suge Knight himself. According to Kading, Knight's actions hindered the pursuit of truth and justice in 2Pac's case. Kading asserts that Knight had crucial information about the incident but chose not to cooperate fully with law enforcement.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Kading placed the blame squarely on Knight's shoulders: "If there’s anybody in the world to blame for this taking 27 years to solve, it’s Suge Knight. He knew the moment it happened who did it. And all Suge had to do when Las Vegas PD asked him to come in and sit down for an interview, all he had to say was, ‘They pulled up alongside, I looked right across the car, I saw Keefe D in the front seat.’ That’s all he had to say: ‘I saw Keefe D.’ That alone, that witness statement would’ve changed everything."
Kading further emphasized, "There’s nobody else who could have helped more than him, and he didn’t, because evidently, his reputation was more important than 2Pac’s life."
Suge Knight has recently broken his silence on Keefe D's arrest, telling TMZ that he won't testify against the 60-year-old if called to do so. Knight also expressed doubt that Orlando Anderson, another suspect, was the one who killed 2Pac. Knight's stance aligns with that of a witness who testified that it was Deandre "Big Dre" Smith who fired the fatal shots, not Anderson.
As the case unfolds, the music world watches closely, hoping that justice will finally prevail for the legendary Tupac Shakur. The truth may have taken decades to emerge, but perhaps now, with the wheels of justice turning, 2Pac can rest in peace knowing that his memory is no longer shrouded in darkness..
