Did Suge Knight kill Tupac and Eazy-E?
And finally, the son of hip-hop icon Suge Knight has slammed theories that his father murdered rappers Tupac Shakur and Eazy-E.
In a rare interview with BET.com, Knight Jr denied his father's involvement, saying the long-running allegations against the music mogul are entirely false.
According to the 21-year-old, his father's took a bullet to the head during the murder of Tupac, who he was riding with at the time.
He also said that it wouldn't have made good business to have Tupac and Easy E killed because he invested so much money in the rappers.
