As part of a wide-ranging interview with The Art of Dialogue, Suge Knight claims Ray J has had conversations with Snoop Dogg, where The Doggfather claims he had a hand in the death of Tupac.
“In phone calls you brag about how Snoop Dogg told you that he is part of the people who put bread to kill Pac,” Knight said. “That’s why I say don’t mention 2Pac’s name in none of your interviews.
“So Snoop was involved in killing Hip-Hop’s best all-time artist. You was involved in killing the best female vocalist that ever did it, Whitney Houston.”

In related news, Duane “Keefe D” Davis, the man accused of orchestrating the murder of Tupac Shakur, is seeking to delay his upcoming trial, arguing that new evidence could prove his innocence.
According to court documents filed on Feb. 14, Keefe D’s legal team has requested a postponement of the March 2025 trial, citing new testimony from a private investigator. They claim this evidence shows that Davis was not in Las Vegas at the time of Tupac’s fatal shooting in September 1996.
“This case involves decades-old allegations, and with every new piece of evidence, it becomes increasingly clear that critical facts have yet to be fully examined,” the motion states. Additionally, his attorneys argue that another suspect could be responsible for the murder and that more time is needed to properly investigate before proceeding to trial.
A judge is set to review the request in a hearing scheduled for today (February 18).
Keefe D has been in custody since September 2023, when he was formally charged in connection with Tupac’s murder—marking the first arrest in the nearly 30-year-old case. His legal battles have been ongoing, including a recent attempt to dismiss the charges. Davis previously argued that he had an immunity deal with law enforcement, stemming from statements he made to detectives in 2008. During those conversations, he admitted involvement in the murder, allegedly as part of a proffer agreement, which would have protected his statements from being used against him in court.
However, prosecutors denied the existence of such a deal, and a judge ruled in their favor, allowing the case to proceed.
Davis, a former gang leader, has publicly spoken about Tupac’s murder multiple times, including in his 2019 book Compton Street Legend. While prosecutors have pointed to his book as evidence, his attorneys argue that it was co-authored and that his exact statements remain unclear.
With the trial approaching, Keefe D’s claims of new evidence raise further questions in a case that has captivated the hip-hop world for decades. Whether his latest legal maneuver succeeds or not, the long-running mystery surrounding Tupac’s death continues to unfold.
