Suge Knight has disclosed the name of the mystery woman who played an important role in getting 2Pac released from prison.
On the second episode of Collect Call With Suge Knight, which aired on Thursday (November 9) via Dave Mays’ Breakbeat Media, the Compton native discussed the late rapper’s time inside a penal institution and how they worked to get him free and signed to Death Row Records.
“[The] only person [who] made it happen, to let me know to get ’Pac out of prison was a girl named Keisha,” he revealed. “That is the baddest bitch in the world. If it weren’t for Keisha, you guys wouldn’t have heard All Eyez On Me or all the other hits he did.”
It is worth noting that 2Pac was reportedly married to a woman named Keisha Morris from 1995–96, but Knight never confirms that or says her full name during the podcast.
Suge Knight remembered how she would call his office “every fucking day,” saying that she was the California MC’s wife and that he needed the Death Row Records boss’ help, after which Knight finally spoke to her. Soon after, he took a flight to visit ‘Pac in prison — even though he had on an ankle bracelet — and it would be the first time the two ever met.
“Keisha made that happen,” he reiterated before transitioning to the subject of their legendary alliance beginning to take shape.

In the same episode, the former Hip Hop mogul also claimed to have covered up Snoop Dogg’s alleged involvement in a murder early on in his career, saying: “If it weren’t for me, [Snoop would] still be in prison doing life.”
The “Gin & Juice” hitmaker and his former bodyguard, Malik, were arrested on first and second-degree murder charges in connection to the death of Philip “Little Smooth” Woldemariam in Los Angeles in 1993.
“The lawyer said: ‘Well, the bodyguard has a 9mm, so we can’t say he protected Snoop and shot the guy; Snoop had a .380,’” Suge recalled. “I said: ‘We’ll be fucked if the bodyguard had a .380 and Snoop had a 9mm., and he got shot with a .380, right? He got shot with a 9mm.”
He continued: “But since Snoop had the .380 and the bodyguard had a 9mm, and he got shot with a .380, all the bodyguard gotta say is he was using .380 bullets in his 9mm.”
The defendants were ultimately acquitted on all charges in the death of the rival gang member due to self-defense claims and negligence on the Los Angeles Police Department’s part.
Furthermore, Knight claimed to have spent $6million to help cover up loose ends. This involved allegedly paying off someone from Snoop’s crew who was blackmailing the rapper, going so far as to meet with a private investigator and telling him “the muthafuckin’ truth” on record. But according to Knight, once he stepped in, this person “destroyed” the alleged tape.
Secret woman, lol. It was his wife, and that was known 25 years ago. Suge has said it repeatedly that Keisha is the one who spoke on his behalf and got him to go see him. Hell, Pac said it when he was alive that last year.
Also, the first time they ever met? He didn’t say that either. Interscope was on the opposite end of the hall on the same floor from Death Row in those days. Pac worked on Above the Rim, Murder was the Case, and knew Suge very well. Jimmy Iovine even set up a meeting to get Pac to go to Death Row in like 1993, but Pac didn’t want to. He even said that too before he died how Suge was fuckign wih him and trying to get him to come for a while before he got there.
I remember seeing an interview of Keisha and saying to myself “damn she’s bad as fxck”. She was beautiful, classy and smart at the same time. A deadly combination. Now that’s the type of woman a man wants to be with. Not that weirdo bxtch Jada Pinkett.
Its too bad this bozo never picked up a pen and pad to start rhyming. He’s really good at telling fictitious narratives. He would’ve sold more units than Dogg Food.
Keisha and Pac? He must’ve played his cards right.
