Deep Dive // Ep. 16 “How Keffe D Claimed He Spent Years Trying to Get Paid Following Tupac's Murder”

[@gregkading9315]

One minor addition to this video; the allegation of Puffy putting a million dollar bounty on PAC’s head was in court paperwork several years before Keffe ever confessed to our task force. The allegation was included in Kirk Burrows lawsuit in New York. Needless to say, that is some degree of cooperation.

[@samj309]

@@gregkading9315 it had been out there for years on the streets that puff put out the hit . Your book just confirmed it was true even thoguh you try and make it out like puffy was just acting tough .

[@bdr113080]

Well, here’s the thing it’s not like Keefe just made this story up in 2023. He said all this in 2009 before the public knew about all these other horrible things he had done. One thing I have learned with dealing with people in the streets from my time in the streets is, if someone never changes their story about something especially over a decade of time passing maybe they don’t have any proof, but more times than not, even if they do lie about other things, they’re probably telling the truth about it. Not to mention his former bodyguard has backed this story up. and I think the main reason we don’t have any other witnesses is everyone else that was around back in the 90s that was close to this and that was hanging around this crowd they’re all dead now.

[@zach9515]

So you are the producer of Murder Rap & Unsolved. Great shows in my opinion! I found it very contributing that you did the interview with Det. Lyga. And your final sentence, that you "think that it´s not enough, to indict somebody (Diddy) only by the word of someone else" i have to agree with you. Even if the accused has seemingly done bad things in his life, the single statement of one person is simply not enough - AND i want to add, it dosent help when the accuser is Keefe D.

The thing ppl really miss about this situation maybe puffy did put out a hit. The main reason for wanting suge dead which I think was the real target that and taken death row down in general. Keefe said him and suge were working for the same ppl which was pat Johnson and harry o. So if anyone wanted them dear fr fr and had an actual real reason behind it id think he really did it on there behalf more so than puffy. Puffy hands wasn't clean and I think that hit did involve crooked police bc im sure many of them were on those gangsters payroll at that time and if suge died r went to prison Reggie would take over which was the cops and the same guys gaining access to the company. And shartita knight was scared knew better and stepped aside r walked away. For Reggie jr and his dad to say they didn't know the rampart guys was bs. Reggie Sr was head of Compton gang unit and to say he didn't have to work in conjunction and share his evidence and knowledge with the other la police especially rampart cops who job was the same is outlandish. Of course they had to know and deal with each other. He had no problem sharing evidence and intelligence with vegas pd but they didn't have to also do the same with lapd? Its ridiculous to not see and know that. I think the cops were involved in both hits to a degree wether a gangster was the shooter r not corrupt pd played a part for sure. The fact they try to hide there connection to certain individuals i think speaks volumes in itself bc thats not even practical to anyone who knows how law enforcement works. Of course theyd have to share intelligence with one another and deal with certain guys especially if they both shared the same jobs and worked for two different departments in such proximity.
