Imprisoned music executive Suge Knight has alleged that Duane “Keefe D” Davis’ legal team offered him up to $1 million to state that Keefe D was not inside the vehicle involved in the shooting that killed Tupac Shakur. Knight made the claim during an interview with TMZ Live from prison on Tuesday, August 25, according to a report by Linda Ikeji.
Knight Rejects Alleged Offer, Cites Loyalty to Tupac
Knight said he turned down the alleged offer, insisting that his loyalty to Tupac “can’t be compromised.” The Death Row Records founder, who is currently serving a prison sentence, did not provide additional details about who made the offer or how it was communicated.
The allegation comes amid the ongoing trial involving Keefe D, who faces charges related to the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur. Knight’s claims about the $1 million offer are not established as fact in the material provided, and the case against Keefe D remains ongoing.
Knight Criticizes The Game Over Scapegoat Remarks
Knight also directed criticism at rapper The Game, who recently claimed that Keefe D was being used as a scapegoat in Tupac’s murder case. The Game has stated that he has known who killed Tupac for about 15 years and that people connected to Compton and Los Angeles are aware of what happened.
Knight pushed back on those comments, accusing individuals of using Tupac’s death to attract attention. He argued that Tupac’s life “wasn’t no motherf*ing circus,” suggesting that too many people are speaking publicly about the case for publicity purposes.
Knight Stops Short of Guilt Verdict, Alleges Police Involvement
Despite his remarks, Knight stopped short of declaring whether Keefe D is guilty or innocent. However, he repeated his belief that “definitely more than one person was involved” in Tupac’s killing.
Knight further alleged that “crooked cops” and off-duty police officers were involved in the broader circumstances surrounding the rapper’s death. These claims were made by Knight and have not been independently verified.
As the trial against Keefe D continues, Knight’s statements add another layer of public scrutiny to a case that has drawn attention for decades. The legal proceedings remain active, and no further details about the alleged offer or the police involvement have been confirmed.
