Both Suge Knight's lawyer and Knight's son have spoken out against a report that Suge had named 2Pac's killers.
According to the report -- which was said to be based on a signed affidavit -- Suge's ex wife Sharitha and ex bodyguard Reggie Wright Jr. were targeting Knight in the 1996 Las Vegas incident because if Suge died before his divorce to Sharitha went through she would inherit Death Row.
This afternoon, Knight's lawyer Thaddeus Culpepper denied he had produced the signed affidavit in which Suge fingered Wright and Saritha as the masterminds.
“Very recently, a press release was issued stating that Attorney Thaddeus J. Culpepper wrote and signed an affidavit regarding the assassination of Tupac Shakur,” Culpepper told The Wrap. “The writers of the press release also state that the alleged affidavit contains statements from Suge Knight. The press release cites no author. As counsel for Mr. Knight, my duty is to assist him in proving his innocence in his present cases. I have never made any official statement regarding Tupac Shakur, nor have I made any statements on my client’s behalf regarding Mr. Shakur, written or otherwise. Articles relying on this unattributed press release are without merit. [T]hat affidavit is fake news.”Knight's son jumped on Instagram to push back against the story:
