Tupac: Day One

And we can't let a mention of Diddy just go by without unpacking it.

Of course.

For those of you who've been with us since Diddy on Trial, we did hear a little bit about Tupac's murder and Biggie Smalls.

For those of you who watched the four-part Netflix series that 50 Cent did, there was some heavy insinuation that Diddy might have been involved.

Now, when we get this connection, it comes through someone called Eric "Zip" Martin.

Can you just unpack what he had to do with it and the role that Keffe D. took on when it came to Diddy's protection?

Eric "Zip" Martin is essentially the link between Keffe D. and P. Diddy.

Essentially, he's the one that introduces Keffe D. and the Crips, the gang, to P. Diddy.

P. Diddy at that time wanted security when he or members of his crew, members of his record label came to Los Angeles.

And so he went to Zip essentially to say, "Well, can you introduce me to someone to, to provide security?" And this is where Keffe D.

comes into the picture.

But this is also where the Compton Crips come into the picture because they provided that security.

And I think hereby is when you see gang relations spill over that feud that we keep talking about, the East Coast/West Coast feud, Suge Knight, Death Row, P. Diddy, Bad Boy.

Because it's essentially both of them using rival gangs for security that then spills over into violence, that then spills over into that beef, not just about music, but real-life gang violence on the streets that then takes us to that night.
