Suge Knight has stepped forward to offer the names of the people he says murdered the rapper and political activist Tupac Shakur.

It was my wife.

Yes, Marion ‘Suge’ Knight claims that his ex-wife Sharitha and Death Row security staffer Reggie Wright Jr were behind the brutal murder, and that he has information which may help to unearth the identity of Biggie Smalls‘ murderer.

His attorney Thaddeus Culpepper wrote in a signed affidavit.

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.

So, why reveal this now?

The Hip-Hop mogul learned  of the creation of a project named ‘Tupac Assasination: The Battle for Compton’ and, according to its co-director Richard Bond, was intrigued when it presented a case for the theory he now says is true.

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. Suge’s initial response was, “Who the hell are these guys?”

Their theory posits Tupac’s murder was actually accident as the intended target was Suge.

A source close to the case revealed:

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.

Sharitha‘s supposed motive? Power.

One of the project’s contributors shared:

Suge wasn’t divorced yet and if he died in that hit, she’d get most of everything. 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.
