2Pac was enamored with Aaliyah and deeply wanted to sign her and work on an album for her before his passing – so says Suge Knight.

While serving his lengthy sentence, the incarcerated mogul called into the Art of Dialogue for a new conversation published on Thursday (February 13) and revealed that Pac had big plans to work with the songstress.

“2pac wanted to sign Aaliyah,” Suge said, explaining that they’d seen her perform when they went to see Gladys Knight in Las Vegas and Pac was sold.

“[He said], ‘I wanna do an album with Aaliyah,'” he added. “Pac was so excited. I ain’t never seen that little muthafucka so happy. He wasn’t thinking about signing nobody else. That’s the person he said out of all the girls and women he’d ever seen, he thought she was the biggest star and had the best voice ever.

“So I figure if things wouldn’t have happened the way they happened, Pac woulda been doing an album with Aaliyah. […] He lost his mind over Aaliyah. He talked about her days and days. I got tired of hearing it.”

In related news, 2Pac’s alleged killer, Duane “Keefe D” Davis, will have to face charges after all, now that a judge has decided that he does not have immunity.

According to Clark County, Nevada District Court records viewed by HipHopDX last month, Judge Carli Kierny denied Keefe D’s motion to dismiss the charges against him.

The motion to dismiss was filed on January 6. In it, the former gang member claims that his constitutional rights have been violated through an “unjustified” delay in proceedings, which have led to “dimming of memories, the death or disappearance of witnesses, and the loss or destruction of material physical evidence.”

According to ABC News, Keefe’s attorney argued that the facts in the case have been in possession of Las Vegas police since 2009 and that the delay in charing him has “irreversibly” compromised his right to a fair trial.

The motion also claims that prosecutors have no evidence beyond Keefe D’s own testimony due to the death or incarceration of others associated with the 1996 killing, such as Death Row Records co-founder Suge Knight and his former rival Diddy, who Keefe once claimed ordered Pac’s murder.

The filing further argues that Keefe D was initially offered an immunity agreement by the authorities, which enticed him to give them details relating to the fatal shooting. One of those agreements was reportedly with the LAPD as part of their investigation into the murder of The Notorious B.I.G.

Prosecutors denied there was any proof of such agreements.
