Suge Knight flips stance on 2Pac murder in new interview: ‘Justice served’
The embattled Death Row Records co-founder spoke from jail and is no longer defending Keefe D.
Compton native Suge Knight is no longer defending Keefe D, the former gang member accused of involvement in Tupac Shakur’s 1996 fatal shooting. The Death Row Recordsco-founder flipped his stance regarding 2Pac’s murder in the latest episode of ‘Collect Call with Suge Knight’.

Knight, who is currently serving a 28-year sentence for voluntary manslaughter, now insists that “justice” is being served for one of Hip Hop’s greatest icons.
“It’s been a long time since I was able to talk freely about Pac because we were so close,” he said. “And the thing is, Pac is finally getting justice. And justice for Pac is not so much somebody gettin’ punished, or goin’ to prison. It’s the fact that if you was around Pac, and you had your hands into trying to destroy him, and we got the receipts, it’s a problem”.
Knight continued, even revealing his former friend’s motive for playing a part in ending 2Pac’s life: “I said this from day one, when we first started talking about it. Jealousy is worse than hate. When your name starts ringing, people get jealous of you. You know, if a person hates you, they can be across the street, and they can see you. They can see you, you know?”
Suge Knight’s conflicting comments after Keefe D’s arrest
The embattled mogul is singing a different tune from what he said in October to TMZ, when he told the tabloid he didn’t want to see Keefe D arrested: “I wouldn’t wish prison on my worst enemy”.
“Let’s get one thing straight, first and foremost: me and Keefe played on the same Pop Warner football team. And whatever the circumstances, if he had an involvement with anything, I wouldn’t wish somebody going to prison on my worst enemy”, he previously said.
Suge Knight added that Keefe D’s nephew Orlando Anderson (deceased in 1998), was not the shooter, contrary to what the investigations recently determined. “It wasn’t Orlando, that’s all I have to say about that”, he commented back in October.
Begging the question, if that were true, why would he now speak of Tupac Shakur “finally getting justice” if it was not indeed Anderson and his uncle that carried out the fatal drive-by shooting on the legendary rapper in 1996?
