SUGE KNIGHT SAYS HE DOESN'T BELIEVE THAT TUPAC SHAKUR IS DEAD

Former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight reveals that no one saw Tupac dead, says he may be alive somewhere. An interview between former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight and Tattoo and Cee Cee from Los Angeles’ 93.5 KDay took quite the interesting turn when the former CEO was questioned about remarks from people that believe he played a role in the death of rapper Tupac Shakur.

“I got a 45 inch bullet in my head. Into my skull by grabbing Tupac, pulling him down. That’s really what happened,” said Knight in an audio clip obtained by TMZ. “Second of all, people know what happened at the end of the day.”  Knight later went on to reveal that no one saw Tupac dead and alluded to the fact that the rapper may in fact be alive and well somewhere. He also revealed that the man who cremated Tupac is now dead.

“Maybe the question is Pac really not dead. Pac’s somewhere else,” Knight explained. “I mean it’s the truth if you really look at it…Nobody seen Tupac dead. The thing is this the person who supposedly cremated Tupac, his mother wanted done quickly, he passed. So this guy got about three million dollars personally from me, cash. And next thing I know I never heard from the guy or seen him again.”

Knight’s interview with 93.5 KDay comes only days after a holograph image of Tupac performed at the Coachella Festival in California.

SUGE KNIGHT THREATENS TO "BEAT THE DOG SHIT" OUT OF RICK ROSS

The quotables keeps coming with Suge Knight, as the former Death Row mogul threatened to put hands on Rick Ross.

While Suge Knight's wild speculations that Tupac may still be alive earned him a lot of publicity today, it looks like that wasn't the only memorable soundbite he dropped during his interview with 93.5 KDay. The former Death Row head honcho also threatened to put hands on Rick Ross over his song "Tupac Back."

Later in the interview with 93.5's Tattoo and Cee Cee, Suge Knight said that he will "beat the dog shit out of Rick Ross" if their paths ever cross. He explained that while he's not bitter to Rozay and actually enjoys his music, he feels it's extremely disrespectful that the MMG rapper would make a song titled "Tupac Back" when he maintains ties to Diddy, who Knight attributes to the murder of Tupac.

"I can't sit up here and say I'm bitter to Rick Ross, 'cus like anybody else, we don't know Rick Ross," Suge said. "That's a guy who uses somebody else's name. This guy comes from being a correctional officer. I don't got nothing negative [against him] personally, I just feel like he do do good music, and you can't take that from him. That boy got bars, he's gonna write…at the same time, I feel like there's a line you cross, and Rick Ross crossed that line. If you're gonna be with guy [Diddy] who killed Tupac, you can't go turn around and do a record [called] 'Tupac Back'…Rick Ross is a grown ass nigga. I'll beat the dog shit out of Rick Ross for manipulating these people out here."

Although the audio of the interview has yet to be officially published, 93.5 KDay is currently replaying the interview with Knight.
