#BBB NEWS| WATCH: ‘All Eyez On Me’ Trailer Gives A Brief Glimpse Into Tupac’s Short Yet Impactful Life [VIDEO]

Tupac Shakur was taken from hip-hop more than 20 years ago, but his impact is still as potent and as palpable as ever.

Watch the full trailer below. All Eyez On Me hits theaters on Tupac’s birthday, June 16, 2017.

#BBB NEWS| Suge Knight’s Ex-Wife Speaks On Tupac’s Murder [VIDEO]

After Suge Knight co-signed the Tupac murder theory that was addressed in a recent documentary — which makes a bold claim that Knight’s ex-wife Sharitha Golden and former Death Row Chief of Security Reggie White Jr. planned the attack, which was reportedly a hit aimed for the Death Row conglomerate himself — Golden decided to shut down the rumors and clear the air of any falsehood.

According to TMZ, the 49-year-old claimed the far-fetched theory was untrue. “I’m so damn sick of getting 100,000 calls about this. No way in hell I would’ve murdered Tupac,” she said. “For what reason? This ridiculous theory that I had to get half of Death Row. I already had half of Death Row, America. When Tupac died, what did Death Row become after that? Zero. Nothing. A downfall.”

#BBB NEWS| Dennis Rodman Speaks On The Difference Between LeBron James And Michael Jordan [PHOTO]

The longstanding debate amongst what separates the great from the average athlete across the spectrum will always involve their decision to rest or play when their health is on the line – whether sickness or injury.

Dennis Rodman stepped into CBS Sports’ “Reiter Than You” with Bill Reiter this past Monday (Apr. 4), to discuss this epidemic, using two of the critically-acclaimed “greatest” of their time, Michael Jordan and LeBron James, as examples.

Rodman got straight to the point, stating, “LeBron’s doing one thing that I always said that Michael Jordan never did. He never rested. He played every game. LeBron has the position to do this now, because they need him. The league needs him, and that’s why he’s doing all this crazy s*** now, like b******* and complaining…”

Respective to MJ’s impact on the league, now and during his prime, the Cav’s #23 is arguably the face of the National Basketball Association for the current era of basketball – or at least one of the faces. In this sense, former number 91 is correct.

#BBB NEWS| Suge Knight’s Son Denies That His Father Revealed Tupac’s Killer: “This Is A Terrible Publicity Stunt”

Who killed Tupac? Suge Knight may have solved the mystery behind Pac’s death, but the rumor is already getting blasted as a “publicity stunt.”

Suge Knight’s 21-year-old son and namesake says reports about his father revealing Tupac’s killer are false.

“This is terrible publicity stunt and these are the same ones that want to keep my father locked up,” Suge Jacob Knight wrote on Instagram Tuesday (April 4). “Tryna profit off my dad’s life is sick and he deserves his rights and freedom!”

According to a new documentary, Tupac Assassination 3: Battle for Compton, Suge was the intended target in the drive-by shooting that killed the 25-year-old rapper. Suge’s ex-wife, Sharitha Knight, and Reggie Wright Jr, a former security head at Death Row Records, are the alleged masterminds behind the slaying.

#BBB NEWS| Suge Knight Stands Behind New Doc That Reveals Who Killed Tupac [VIDEO]

After decades of denial and endless conspiracy theories, Suge Knight has confirmed the suspects behind the death of Tupac Shakur.

In an interview with WENN,  filmmakers Michael Douglas Carlin and Richard Bond behind Tupac Assassination 3: Battle for Compton,  claim the former chief of Death Row Records confirmed their theory that his ex-wife Sharitha Knight and former head Death Row Records security chief Reggie Wright Jr. orchestrated the murder of Tupac. Speaking through lawyer Thaddeus Culpepper, Knight claimed it was just the first of many murder attempts the duo have committed against his life.

“When our book, Tupac: 187 The Red Knight, came out and we were working on the movie, we gave the salient points of the book to Thaddeus Culpepper, who read them to Suge Knight,” Bond said. “Suge’s initial response was, ‘Who the hell are these guys?'”

The names have floated around for some time, but Carlin and Bond are solely fixated on the idea in their new documentary. “Culpepper told Carlin individually that not only did Knight confirm the events as portrayed in Compton, which portray Knight was the intended target and Shakur as collateral damage, as true, but also goes on to allege that these 1996 events may have been the first in a history of attempts on Knight’s life, culminating in the recent attempted killing of Knight at the 1OAK Club in Los Angeles, where Knight was shot six times,” a film spokesperson said.
