Dozens of theories have surfaced involving the unsolved murders of rappers Tupac Shakur and Christopher “Biggie” Wallace. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chuck Philips once accused Wallace of hiring Crips to kill Shakur and CBS Los Angeles reported that the LAPD played a significant role in the murder of Wallace.
In October, former LAPD detective Greg Kading will give his version of the crime when his book, Murder Rap, is released.
In the self-published book, Kading claims the LAPD concealed tapes and official documents with confessions from key witnesses surrounding the deaths of Shakur and Wallace.
According to L.A. Weekly, one member of the Crips, Keffe D, claims that he was offered $1 million by Diddy to kill Shakur and Knight. However, he told police that his nephew, Orlando Anderson, the guy who was beaten by Shakur and Knight shortly before the shooting in Las Vegas, pulled the trigger and was responsible for killing Shakur. The book also claims that the mother of Suge Knight’s children testified that Knight paid a Mob Piru Bloods member, Wardell “Poochie” Fouse, to kill Wallace. Anderson and Fouse were both killed several years ago.
Kading says that he was pulled off Wallace’s murder case while gathering more evidence that could have potentially solved the murders.
Diddy told L.A. Weekly that the claims are completely false and Knight has yet to respond to any allegations. –a.r.
