On Monday we reported the story about how Suge Knight claimed that someone finally solved the 20-plus-year mystery of who killed Tupac Shakur.

The former Death Row Records CEO has claimed to know for years, but has never actually revealed who it was. Now, however, thanks to a recently released documentary called Tupac Assassination: Battle for Compton he finally admitted that someone got it right.

Music-News.com reported…

He has always refused to identify the shooter or name the person he believed was responsible for his friend and protege’s death, but now he has given the new film’s co-directors Michael Douglas Carlin and Richard Bond a big thumbs up, insisting their documentary offers the truth behind Tupac’s killing.

“Culpepper [Knight’s attorney] told Carlin individually that not only did Knight confirm the events as portrayed in Compton, which portray Knight was the intended target and Shakur as collateral damage, as true, but also goes on to allege that these 1996 events may have been the first in a history of attempts on Knight’s life, culminating in the recent attempted killing of Knight at the 1OAK Club in Los Angeles, where Knight was shot six times,” a film spokesperson says.

On Tuesday a new report by The Daily Mail finally revealed the names of those Knight says is responsible for Tupac’s murder…

Marion ‘Suge’ Knight claims that his ex-wife and former Death Row Records security chief Reggie White Jr killed Tupac Shakur, and insists he was the real target of the 1996 drive-by.

Suge’s attorney Thaddeus Culpepper wrote in a signed affidavit, that ‘Knight has known for many years that Reggie Wright Jr. and his ex-wife Sharitha were behind the murder of Tupac and attempted murder of Knight.’

He added that Knight also had alleged details of Wright’s involvement in the Biggie Smalls murder case.

Former LAPD detective Russell Poole, who took the signed affidavit in question, also seems to agree with Knight’s claim…

He told Vice in 2015 that Wright Jr. and Suge’s ex, Sharitha Knight orchestrated the murder to assume control of Death Row Records.

‘Suge wasn’t divorced yet and if he died in that hit, she’d get most of everything,’ Poole said. ‘So she went to Wright Jr., who was in charge of Death Row and ran it while Suge was in prison.

‘[Wright Jr.] has gotten away with it this whole time. They floated a whole lot of propaganda to former LA Times reporter Chuck Phillips—calling in hundreds if not thousands of fake clues.’

On Wednesday, Suge Knight’s ex wife Sharitha Golden responded to Knight’s accusation in an exclusive interview with The Sun Online

Stay-at-home mum Sharitha, who has four children and cares full-time for her disabled cousin, said: “Of course I did not kill Tupac.

“Does it sound like there’s any truth to it? It sounds really stupid to me.

“As far as me and Reggie plotting together come on now – there was no plot between us I don’t even see him on a regular basis.”

She added sarcastically: “I’m such a vicious person, I’ve adopted a kid, I take care of a disabled person but I’m a murderer? Come on now.

“I don’t know where America has gone. I don’t know why people are so fixated on this murder.”

Oh and just to muddy the waters a bit more she also threw out her opinion on who really killed Tupac…

“It’s been 20 years surely I’d have been arrested by now?

“It’s already been proven who killed Tupac – and he is dead now.

“Orlando Anderson killed Tupac that’s the bottom line to that story. It all stemmed from that stupid fighting in the casino.”

Ugh… so who do you believe? Suge Knight, who is currently in jail on murder and attempted charges or his ex-wife? Perhaps they’re both wrong and we’ll never finally know for sure. Dammit.
