The former CEO of Death Row Records was with Tupac the night he was killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas in 1996.
Suge Knight has claimed a new documentary about rapper Tupac Shakur has finally “nailed” the truth about his murder
Knight, who is currently behind bars awaiting a separate murder trial, has never revealed the identity of the the person he believed was responsible for his friend’s death.
He has now alleged that the details in Tupac Assassination: Battle for Compton, co-directed by Richard Bond and Michael Douglas Carlin, are true, Music News has reported.
Bond, told WENN that he has a signed affidavit from Knight’s criminal attorney Thaddeus Culpepper which states the story laid out in the documentary is all true.
A spokesperson for the film said: “Culpepper told Carlin individually that not only did Knight confirm the events 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.”
They added: “The hope is Knight’s confirmation of the story laid out in Compton (the film) may put a final stamp to close this mystery, after 20 years.”
