Suge Knight dropped new information before declaring he won’t be snitching on anyone responsible for the death of rap legend Tupac Shakur.
Co-founder of Death Row Records, Suge Knight, was driving the car Tupac was in when he was fatally shot in 1996, and is the only living witness to his murder. Speaking with TMZ from prison August 11, he called the murder an “assassination” and revealed that the man on trial for the killing, Duane “Keffe D” Davis, was not the only one involved.
Suge said the public has been given the wrong information about Shakur’s murder for nearly 30 years, and shared some details about the case before stating that he will not cooperate in court.
Suge told TMZ the public was misguided if they believe that Shakur was shot over his chain or gang colors.
“This was an assassination,” he declared.
Suge told TMZ he felt the trial was “a teaching moment.”
Keffe D made an admission of guilt in his book and in various interviews, and is now trying to walk back his comments in court.
“He’s full of shit,” Suge said.

“Even though I had a bullet an inch to my skull, they always said I’m the one who had Tupac killed, which is far from the truth,” Suge said.
Suge then revealed, “There’s a lot of people who participated, and a lot of people they don’t talk about.”
He continued, “I’m not here to say they should get punished ‘cause I don’t believe in that.”
“I don’t believe in revenge.”
“I’m not gonna say these guys’ names,” Suge told TMZ.
Suge was named on the prosecution’s witness list for Keffe D’s upcoming trial in Las Vegas. Jury selection began Monday.
“They make me come there against my will,” he told ABC News.
“If Keffe D’s lawyers bring me there, it don’t look good for him. If the prosecution brings me there, it don’t look good for them. Leave me out of it… You have people who wasn’t there, wasn’t in the car, but they’re telling the story,” he said.
Suge said snitching is worse than shooting a man in the head because “if you snitch on that person, they die a million times.”
“I am not going to be responsible for sending another man to prison for the rest of his life,” he added. “If God’s forgiving, who am I to think I’m bigger than God and don’t forgive? Because I’m not,” he told ABC News. (RELATED:
The prosecution alleged that Keffe D orchestrated Shakur’s attack and supplied the gun, but claimed he did not pull the trigger.
