Rap legend Tupac Shakur died 16 years ago today from injuries he suffered in a hail of gunfire on the busy Las Vegas strip. To commemorate the anniversary of Shakur’s death, writer Chuck Phillips launched a website today that will focus on the unsolved deaths of Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G.
Beginning today, Philips will use Twitter to promote an exclusive 1,200 word news story, which will be published on his new site and released via Twitter, 140 characters at a time.
According to a press release issued to media outlets, the first story will focus on Sean “Diddy” Combs and his relationship with late Harlem drug dealer Eric “Von Zip” Martin.
Martin was a big time drug dealer who died last month in New York. His star-studded funeral was attended by celebs such as Sean Combs, Jae Millz, Lil Kim, and Cam’ron, AllHipHop.com reports.
According to Phillips, Von Zip was the go-between for Sean Combs and the Compton Southside Crips gang. Police believe the man who killed Tupac was Orlando Anderson, a member of the Southside Crips, who was murdered in 1998.
According to police interviews and case documents, Von Zip introduced Combs to a man named “Keefe D.,” a Southside Crips key figure, who allegedly admitted to police that he helped orchestrate Tupac’s murder.
Phillips, a former LA Times investigative reporter, wrote an in-depth report fingering Combs as the mastermind behind Tupac’s untimely demise.
Combs has vigorously denied any connection to Tupac’s murder.
