Tupac murder mystery has finally been solved, rap mogul Suge Knight says as he claims new documentary has ‘nailed’ the truth
RAP mogul Suge Knight has claimed a new documentary about rapper Tupac Shakur has finally "nailed" the truth about his murder.
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.
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, 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.

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."
