Key takeaways 7
Daddy Boy was not in the BMW during the shooting because he had a stain on his suit pants and went to change, a fact he uses to validate his credibility regarding other details of that night.
The BMW Suge Knight was driving had very low mileage (barely driven) and was brand new at the time; it is now listed for sale at $1.5 million.
Suge Knight had illegal slot machines hidden in the dashboard of his BMW, operated by specific buttons near the cruise control.
Death threats against Tupac were active during his hospital stay, leading Death Row affiliates to park U-Hauls outside the hospital as a defensive measure.
The 'I Ain't Mad at You' music video was viewed by the group at Suge's house after Tupac's cremation; Daddy Boy interprets the video's theme of earning one's way to heaven as a prophetic element given Tupac's death.
Daddy Boy disputes claims that Tupac's ashes were smoked by Outlawz members, stating that cremains are bone fragments that cannot be burned or smoked, and notes that Jada Pinkett Smith received a box of ashes from Suge.
Many people lied about visiting Tupac in the hospital; Daddy Boy specifically notes that Snoop Dogg did not visit, while Suge's people were present.
