Suge Knight claims 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 drive-by’

Knight (left, in court in February in a pretrial murder hearing) claims his ex-wife Sharitha (right) and former Death Row Records security chief Reggie White Jr, were behind the shootings

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 Bigge Smalls murder case.

The rapper, who until now has always refused to identify the shooter, appears to have spoken out after hearing the ‘salient points’ in the new documentary Tupac Assassination: Battle for Compton.

‘When our book,came out and we were working on the movie, we gave the salient points of the book (Tupac: 187 The Red Knight) to Thaddeus Culpepper, who read them to Suge Knight,’ said co-director Richard Bond. ‘Suge’s initial response was, “Who the hell are these guys?”

‘He admitted to Culpepper that the theories in the movie were true,’ a source said.

Suge was so intrigued he sent his private investigators, to discover how the writers and directors found out about what happened. 

The documentary also claims that Suge had always been the real target of that fatal shooting. Tupac was just in the way. 

The film tells of an attempted coup at Tupac’s label Death Row Records – co-founded by Suge and Dr Dre among others – which eventually led to the shooting in Las Vegas on 7 September 1996. 

‘Culpepper 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 told Music News.

Knight was also the target of allegations that he was responsible for the shooting of Shakur’s rival Christopher ‘Biggie Smalls’ Wallace in 1997.
