The 1997 murder of The Notorious B.I.G. remains unsolved. While there have been multiple theories on who killed the Brooklyn Hip Hop legend, Mob James is certain he knows who fired the fatal shot.
During an interview with VladTV, Suge Knight’s ex-capo is asked about that fateful night in Los Angeles and was told Reggie Wright Jr. believes Bloods gang member and Knight’s associate Wardell “Poochie” Fouse is responsible for Biggie’s death.
When asked what he thought of Wright’s theory, Mob James gave a thumbs up and said, “Right on. Everybody at Death Row had a certain talent, was a certain kind of way. Some cats had no talent whatsoever, some cats was in the fam for the paper and the money was good, doing certain things.”
Diddy’s former bodyguard, Gene Deal, previously told VladTV he thought a man in a bow tie pulled the trigger, but Mob James has a different recollection.
“Reggie was there. Gene wasn’t there. Gene can’t say he seen the dude pulling the trigger. He just say he remembers seeing this guy with a bow tie around — and that’s his truth. He did see this. But that don’t say that that’s the man who did it.”
He also confirmed Poochie was “a hitter for real, for real. Not [out of character] at all.”
Poochie was killed in July 2003 after gunmen ambushed him, firing 10 shots into his back as he rode a motorcycle in Compton. Even so, Mob James says people were still hesitant to identify him as Biggie’s shooter.
“Everybody in their right mind that was there knows what happened, but ain’t nobody going to say, ‘Poochie, Poochie, Poochie,'” he continued. “Now that he’s dead, everybody can speak on it and whatever now. I’m surprised they haven’t came and said they know who did it.
Who Shot Biggie Smalls? Ex-FBI Agent Says Suge Knight Actually Intended To Kill Diddy
“But the hood talks; everybody knows who doing what, especially when it comes around to Death Row. Everybody knew who did it, why it was done, and some cats are still applauding the fact that it happened because we lost 2Pac, so just in retaliation of that, it is what it is. That’s how they felt.”
Mob James added he would “win a lot of money” if he placed his bets on Poochie being the killer.
Biggie was fatally shot on March 9, 1997 as he was doing press in Los Angeles for his sophomore album, Life After Death. He was just 24 years old.
Old News, Everyone in Southside already knew that Poochie killed Biggie. C’mon now and the fact that Suge had inside help from the LAPD to cover it up. Eye for an eye for the lost of 2pac. (and Diddy and Biggie being cocky as hell about it after especially on the West Coast 6 months later)
There was nothing cocky about Puff and Big at the time. They just wanted to make money. Being in Cali was a business move. They had nothing to do with Tupacs death. Everyone knows who killed Pac and why. Suge was just butt hurt. In the end two New York legends (Pac and Big) are dead.
Actually everone knows orlando jones aka baby lane killed tupac thats facts keefe d admitted it to the feds so he didn’t have to go to jail but
Puff was using sside crips for protection so u put 2 and 2 together mayb he didn’t put the hit out but he was in with the enimes and disrespecting LA and the bloods
The Outlawz have said out their own mouth that Bad Boy had a bounty out on Death Row chains so they could wear it in a video, which started this whole thing with the mall incident and ended in Vegas. Pac getting death threats to his cell phone. The death threats that came in to Death Row when he was in the hospital about he ain’t dead yet, so we’re going to come finish him. This was not some one-sided beef like New Yorkers like to romanticize and which has been perpetuated by the New York based media. Pac just was the loudest voice. Also, listen to “Long Kiss Good Night.” He went to LA and spit that on the radio. When emotional killers are involved, you’re just asking for them to react to the disrespectful shit you’re doing, and that’s exactly what happened.
Going on LA radio and spitting “Long Kiss Good Night,” which everyone knew was about Pac after you kept saying you didn’t have a beef and you loved him, let alone leaving it on his album was cocky as hell. No matter how some of you New York dudes try to twist it, they were out of pocket. Jay sat his ass down for a while from LA, and he wasn’t on the front line with that beef. Sad to say, but they got what they were looking for. If you’re going to call these new no talented rappers out for stupid shit they do, Biggie going to LA on a press run and shitting on the West Coast’s icon six months after he died has to be top five dumb moves in hip hop history.
So Pac droppin endless BIG and Bad Boy disses and Suge dissin Puff at the Source awards in NY was cool? Pac came to NY for the MTV awards and dissed BIG and Nas and a bunch of NY rappers every chance he got..tf is your point. If we saying that people got what they were looking for then Pac is your number 1 prime example.Got involved in some gang shit he knew nothing about and git in over his head.THAT’S what killed him..
All of your facts are wrong, so I’ll leave it at that. Nas just made a song about what happened at the MTV awards, not to mention a dis song he had in the vault leaked, yet your ignorant ass is still here perpetuating this poor them narrative. Nobody back then had clean hands. Pac was just the loudest voice.
If pac got shot and killed in nyc then we would have said he’s a dumb mfer for coming to the east coast abd best believe them ny cats were trying to murk him then he just dodge a bullet… big going to the west coast after pac died def a flex and he got killed for it… tbh idk why they were even out there it wasn’t even a yr hell I can see maybe 5-6 yrs later again they flexed but big got stretched
Even doe Big Pop’s my favorite evah son yeah they we’re fuckin stupid for being back in L.A. flossin so soon after Pac got murked
Both were a fucking waste. Pac is out here jumping on known real deal killer gangbangers with a security detail and a million other flunkies in the crew who could have got at Orlando, and then Biggie is out in LA to promote an album the whole world had been waiting on for three years when you could have commanded every urban and mainstream media outlet to come to wherever you were to promote your album. It’s like these are the two most popular rappers of the greatest era in hip hop history, and it ended in a snap of a finger for both of them over stupidity on every level.
They just shouldn’t have gone to LA so soon. They knew there was a huge risk and they had targets on their backs. It was dumb, there was plenty of money to be made elsewhere.
Yep. Not like they were coming from Cleveland or some shit. You’re based out of New York. The whole damn record industry was based out of New York back then. It was a flex, and it backfired spectacularly. I remember where I was when I heard that shit because I couldn’t believe he was in LA. It was like wtf? Do these people have brain cells?
LAPD didn’t help anybody cover up shit. They were just like Vegas PD, they didn’t give a shit. It was just another black man dead to them. Those Rampart officers didn’t have any pull like that to be steering investigations. They were too busy stealing and shit to bring heat on themselves.
Yet again, Diddy could have stopped all this and didn’t. Listen to the Gene Deal part of the interview. Fxck Diddy for being a cowardly snake.
Gene Deal is talking out his ass
Who are you, Diddy’s side n****. GTFOH. Listen to all of Gene Deal’s interviews from over the years and you’ll see that they’re all consistent and he was the closest man in Diddy’s security circle.
Yo wen reel n!&&a like og capo say it for real for real den u no its reel no capu chino
English!!!!! Motherf*****, Do you speak it!!!!
I can translate for you: “when a real ***** like OG capo says it’s for real for real, then you know that it’s real. No cappuccino.
You’re probably a white incel living at home with your parents.
Biggie was a sacrificial lamb and was moving sloppy. Ddudes in the Bay almost smoked him for the disrespect he gave to E-40. He should have known how some of these street dudes around these artists were. Since he survived that, he should have used it as a warning and tightened up his circle and entourage instead of going to LA and shitting on Pac’s grave with that disrespectful “Long Kiss Good Night” freestyle on the radio. Fools in LA are crazy for real, for real, especially when you bring that gang shit in the mix. New York dudes grimy as fuck, but like you saw with Nip, LA gang duded will blow your brains out in broad daylight and say they were in the right.
Shut the hell up if E40 wack ass homeboys really wanted to kill my man BIGGIE they could of went on and did it. BIGGIE was killed by BAD BOY. IT was a set up you dumb fuck.
Yo all da reel homies kno du-du breaf dropped biggie. Why u think all da witnesses said da shoota had halitosis?!? Lulz pookie jus ther handin out BJ’s to da boys dat night. Fo realz
You idiot that was a set up. BIGGIE was set up by BAD BOY it was not a retaliation. Bad BOY paid KEFE D and Poochie to be apart of the murder to make it look like a retaliation. Suge Knight did not have nothing to do with BIGGIE murder.
Anybody alive and old enough at the time remembers Orlando and Poochie being named almost immediately for both shootings. But the fact that Biggie had to die for some kind of retaliation for Pac doing something he had no business doing in the first place is still crazy to me…
Exactly. BIGGIE SMALLS WAS SET UP BY BAD BOY records. It was not a retaliation. Mob James know damn well BAD BOY had paid KEFE D and Poochie to be apart of BIGGIE murder to make it look like a retaliation. Gene Deal was also apart of BIGGIE murder but trying to make people believe he didn’t have anything to do with it.
puff daddy n mace had biggie smalls whacked cuz biggie was startin to see that mace n puff wasnt gonna let go of his nutts and they were cemented in biggies pockets too! niether of them can rap wirth a fuck and didnt get famous until biggie was dead! just like everybody talked shit about easy-e ! dre, cube are studio gangsters they gangsters on vinyl but you dont see them kicking it the hood like easy-e did! same for that frog snoop set hopped from the long beach crips to master p no limit blood friendly label the real muthafuckas cant defend themselves cuz there dead! RIP 2PAC, BIGGIE FUCKING SMALLS AND THE ONE WHO PUT GANSTA AND COMPTON ON THE MAP Eazy MUTHAFUCCIN- E
WH59P
Big stayed trying to flex E40 homies could have smoked him that’s that ny mentality can’t be touched until they get touched and puff big everybody from that camp knew better
Here we go with all the know it all conspiracy theorist …. “eye roll”
Must’ve been a big time Piru because even though news traveled MUUUUCH SLOWER THEN unless you stayed in a music industry town because it was years before we heard of Poochie it seemed like we found out Orlando killed Pac in a month
