It never fails does it?
After I start a thread on some controversial topic, always stories with similar “keywords” suddenly get published. The same Las Vegas police department that has been covering up who murdered 2Pac for 27 years now start some new “investigation”…
Apparently the cops have searched the Las Vegas home of Paula Clemons, the wife of Duane “Keefe D” Davis, who has said Puff Daddy paid him $1 million to murder Tupac Shakur: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... urder.html
Here’s Duane “Keefe D” Davis talking about the murder of 2Pac. This video has been on Youtube since July 2019, his earlier confession to the cops in 2011 (or even earlier?) is also played.

Here’s the complete interview (2:45:06): https://youtu.be/4uOMzM4PD6E
This was already published in October 2011, what took the cops so long?!?
https://web.archive.org/web/20140111080 ... -killings/Duane "Keefe D" Keith Davis “says, "[Combs] took me downstairs and he's like, 'Man, I want to get rid of them dudes.' ... I was like, 'We'll wipe their ass out, quick. It's nothing.' ... We wanted a million."
In another stunning confession, detailed in LAPD documents reviewed by the Weekly, the mother of one of Knight's children, identified in Kading's book as "Theresa Swann," breaks down in tears, stating that the former Death Row boss gave her the money to pay Wardell "Poochie" Fouse — Knight's close associate and a fellow member of the Mob Piru Bloods — to kill Smalls.”
(…)
Sitting in the backseat of the Cadillac, according to Keefe D, was his own nephew, Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, who got his ass kicked in the MGM Grand lobby earlier in the evening by Shakur’s posse, "leaned over, and Orlando [Baby Lane] rolled down the window and popped him [Shakur]." Later, he adds, "If they would've drove on my side [of the car] I would've popped him.
Duane Keith Davis (a.k.a. Keefe D) is a member of the South Side Compton Crips.
Davis was a childhood friend of Eazy-E, that first put both Dr. Dre and Ice Cube on the road to rap stardom when they appeared in NWA.
During the early '90s, Davis also became friends with Diddy (Sean Combs): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duane_Davis_(gangster)
Wardell Fouse – Biggie
Bizarrely the wonderful Wikipedia has definitively written, that Suge Knight hired Wardell Fouse to murder Biggie (I guess this text will be changed soon…):
https://web.archive.org/web/20230705071 ... ow_RecordsAfter the murder of Tupac Shakur, Knight was incarcerated due to probation violations. Knight held Sean Combs, the CEO of Bad Boy Records, responsible for the death of Shakur and sought revenge.[93] Through his then-girlfriend Theresa Swann, the incarcerated Knight contacted Wardell Fouse and hired him to kill The Notorious B.I.G.[94] Swann was given $25,000, of which $13,000 would go to Fouse.[93]
During the initial investigation into Wallace's murder, Fouse was not a suspect, as detective Russell Poole's prime suspects were the LAPD officer David Mack and Mack's friend Amir Muhammed (Harry Billups).[95] After Poole resigned from the department in 1999, the case stalled. After the case was reopened in 2006, the lead detective, Greg Kading, concluded that Wardell Fouse was the shooter.[93] As Fouse was murdered in 2003, no charges were pressed against him.
Johnny J – Death Row, Amaru
Back to 2Pac’s friends dying, meet Johnny J (Johnny Lee Jackson), 2Pac’s most important producer (a latino) since they were introduced by Big Syke in 1993.
Johnny produced more than 150 songs for 2Pac, including 11 for Pac’s best-selling album “All Eyez on Me”, most of them never released.
Johnny J started a lawsuit against Death Row over unpaid royalties.
On 27 July 2008, Johnny J was arrested in LA for driving while intoxicated. On 3 October 2008, still imprisoned at Twin Towers Correctional Facility in LA while awaiting trial, Johnny J supposedly jumped off an upper tier of the prison in an “apparent suicide”.
See Dr. Dre, Johnny J, 2Pac, and Big Syke.

Johnny J boasted that as a producer he sold over 100 million albums.
In 2008, Johnny J was producing an album for actress/singer Tatyana Ali, best known for her role as Ashley Banks on the sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”, that was produced by Quincy Jones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_"J"
Johnny J. "co-wrote and helped produce 11 songs on All Eyez on Me and was never paid the $100,000 advance or the per song royalties of 3% he was supposed to receive".
Johnny J’s widow continued the lawsuit of the unpaid royalties and accused Amaru entertainment of being ultimately responsible for not paying what they owed: https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/wi ... r-AA18XaSg
Left Eye – 2Pac
I already knew that Left Eye (Lisa Lopes) of TLC fame died in a strange car accident in Honduras, but didn’t know that she was so close to 2Pac that some friends thought they were deeply in love.
See close friends Left Eye and 2Pac.

On April 25, 2002, Left Eye was killed (aged 30) in a car crash in Honduras, after her car swerved off the road to avoid hitting another vehicle that stopped abruptly in front of them.
Left Eye began dating professional American football player Andre Rison in the early 1990s. Their relationship had some violent outbursts.
She had a tattoo of a moon on her foot in reference to Rison's nickname, "Bad Moon"; Left Eye later had the words "Love U 2" added to this tattoo for 2Pac.
In January 2002, Left Eye severed her solo deal with Arista (while still signed to the label as a member of TLC) and signed with Suge Knight's Death Row Records: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Lopes
Andre Rison, while calling 2Pac his “friend”, was not so much upset over Left Eye burning his house to the ground, but that she was picked up afterwards by Tupac, he "assumed that was already planned".
.
Rison said:
https://www.thethings.com/what-happened ... isa-lopes/I remember that Lisa lied to me that night that Tupac had picked her up from my house and I had heard rumors about her love for Pac. And Tupac is my friend… I am just sitting there wondering if it were true.
Rison also remembered another occasion:
.I was at the Grammys’ party and she wasn’t there. Tionne and Chilli [both of TLC] were there but not her. She had left with Pac.
Suge Knight even said:
https://thesource.com/2020/01/10/lisa-l ... ith-tupac/Lisa ain’t love nobody like she loved Pac, but her and Pac never had sex. I mean, he would have told me. She would have told me.
2Pac’s close friend Left Eye was featured on the following single by Biggie’s close friend, Lil’ Kim.
It also features Missy Elliott that had earlier worked with the Bad Boy/Death Row associated Jodeci, and produced Aaliyah’s second album with her childhood friend Timbaland…
