Suge Knight will once again revisit his long-held view that Tupac may still be alive when FOX airs its investigative crime special Who Shot Biggie & Tupac? this Sunday (September 24).
In an exclusive clip obtained by TMZ, hosts Ice-T and Soledad O’Brien speak to Suge Knight over the phone from the Los Angeles County Jail, where he is currently incarcerated. During the brief exchange, Knight questions how Tupac’s health deteriorated so quickly in hospital, claiming to have been “laughing and joking” with him after the infamous shootout in Las Vegas in September of 1996.
“When Pac died, if he really did [laughs], you know?” Knight says before O’Brien interjects.
“If he really died? What do you mean by that?” she asks.
“I mean when I left that hospital, me and Pac was laughing and joking,” Knight replies. “So I don’t see how somebody can turn from doing well, to doing bad.”
“So you seriously think he might still be alive,” O’Brien says while shaking her head, to which Suge Knight replies: “I’m gonna tell you this: with Pac, you never know.”
Tupac was shot in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996. He died six days later on September 13. As with the slaying of The Notorious B.I.G., which took place six months later, the murder of Tupac Shakur remains unsolved.
The theory that Tupac may still be alive has been outlined numerous times by Suge Knight in recent years.
In 2012, Knight claimed that no one saw Tupac dead and alluded to the idea that the rapper may still be alive.
“Maybe the question is that Pac really not dead. Pac’s somewhere else,” Knight said during an interview with 93.5 KDAY in Los Angeles. “I mean it’s the truth if you really look at it. Nobody seen Tupac dead. The thing is this: the person who supposedly cremated Tupac – his mother wanted it done quickly – he passed. So this guy got about $3 million personally from me, cash. And next thing I know, I never heard from the guy or seen him again. He retired and left.”
In 2014, Knight questioned why no one has been arrested for Tupac’s murder, despite individuals reportedly confessing to the killing.
“Why you think nobody been arrested if they said they the one killed Tupac? Because Tupac not dead,” Suge said in an interview with TMZ. “Tupac not dead, nigga. If he was dead, they’d be arresting those dudes for murder. You know he somewhere smoking a Cuban cigar on an island somewhere.”
Suge Knight is currently incarcerated at the Los Angeles County Jail, where he has been held since January 2015. The former Death Row Records CEO is facing a murder charge stemming from the an incident at a Compton burger stand that resulted in the death of his close friend Terry Carter. Suge Knight is expected to face trial on January 8, 2018.
We need a troll battle between Suge and Skreli.
DX doing their part to keep Suge relavent.
And skreli lmao
STFU SUGE…stop trying to be relevant by playing coy.
Pac been replaced. We now have real street poets such as Young Thug, Drake and Lil Uzi Vert.
Thats the best joke iv heard in a while
Man shut ya dumb ass up the only one in your list worth listening too is Drake and he not even from the streets uzi vert fighting 12 year old white kids and Young thug certainly trash smdh you are an idiot
Skrrrrrrtttt haha dude
PAC could never be replaced! No one could ever come close to who 2Pac was and the truth he spoke.
There is no way a guy like Pac would be able to stay quiet for so long specially all these police brutality stories.
More like, he needs publicity AGAIN!
suge we can’t wait till you go to jail
He will have to stay in a nice California State Prison for the rest of hist life.
Im pretty sure he is dead and suge know that. I dont know Suge is fighting for his life and being mistreayed in jail. Mental health issues is something we dont acknowledge in the black community especially us black men cause of the negative label
So suge is mentally ill? That’s why he’s always been a fuckin violent gangster lol? Cmon bro. The dudes just a thug. Not mental.
Suge is a silent gangster,they said an incident that lead to the death of his close friend Terry Carter? To me it was an intentional acts. #suge knight is an OG period. to me there is sense in what he is saying about 2pac’s dead #pac is not dead
Suge comments on ‘Pac being alive. What’s surprising to me about this; is that HHDX didn’t delete his comment
i went straight to the comments on this one
Of course any intelligent response or comment is removed from this site always sad on your part HHDX
So my response will be removed
Smh everybody with common sense knows Baby Lane did it.
-No keys in the ignition of the pic of him and packing driving in Vegas.
-His mother made his very next video about him getting a “new face” ..
-Las Vegas out of all places with no witness? Lol .. his sister is still in Cuba, trump wants to bring her back to the States.
-he made the 7th day theory album to keep people thinking long after his disappearance oops I mean death ha
I believe he died but not from the gun wounds. He got air lifted out supposedly.
Typo, I meant no keys in the ignition when PAC n suge was driving. And half his family went under the radar in the past. What makes u think he would not do the same??
Suge has enough time to reevaluate things now. With all the talking about the possibility of Pac in Cuba, he is trying to make sense of the lose ends. Which I must admit they are many. most likely the tradition of creating heroes among the community failed in this case. The only person who could identify Pac is gone ( his mom)
He Tupac mother was murder because she didn’t approve of the lies of that so called movie of his life
