Video summary
The video centers on the highly controversial legal case involving Dwayne "Keefe D" Davis, who is accused of conspiring in the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur. A pivotal piece of evidence discussed is a 2008 police interview where Davis allegedly shifted blame to his nephew, Orlando Anderson, claiming that while he held the gun, an unwilling accomplice forced Anderson to fire the shots. However, the narrative takes a dramatic turn when it is revealed that Davis was actually acting as a federal informant for the DEA and FBI since 2007. This revelation suggests that the testimony presented in court may have been part of a broader sting operation or drug program deal, raising serious questions about the integrity of the prosecution's case and the true nature of the events on that fateful night in Las Vegas.
The discussion delves deeper into the complex world of informants, highlighting how individuals from the streets often infiltrate investigations to secure leniency for their own past crimes, such as drug charges. The hosts analyze the behavior of various figures connected to the case, including former Compton police officer Reggie Wright Jr., who testified against Davis but was also linked to the same criminal networks. There is a strong emphasis on the "rat" culture within these communities, where informants might provide information to authorities in exchange for protection or reduced sentences, only to be used as pawns in a larger game that can lead to the imprisonment of innocent associates. The hosts express skepticism about the official story, noting discrepancies such as Davis's claim that he was not even in Nevada on the night of the shooting, which contradicts the physical evidence and witness accounts.
Furthermore, the transcript explores the blurred lines between street life, law enforcement, and media entertainment, particularly focusing on how former gang members and drug dealers have transitioned into roles as TV personalities and informants simultaneously. The hosts criticize this phenomenon, arguing that these individuals use their platforms to manipulate public perception while secretly working for federal agencies to take down rivals or secure their own freedom. They point out the dangers of trusting people who claim to be allies but are actually gathering intelligence, a tactic that has historically led to betrayal and tragedy within the community. The conversation concludes with uncertainty regarding Davis's fate, as the jury deliberates on whether the prosecution's evidence, tainted by informant testimony, is sufficient to secure a conviction or if the truth will eventually emerge to clear his name.

Yeah, we on Boss Talk TV. Shout out to
E. The reason you see heard a key piece
of evidence in the trial of Dwayne Kefei
Davis, accused of killing rapper Tupac
Shakur. Prosecutors played a 2008 police
interview in which Davis described what
happened the night that Tupac was shot
in Las Vegas back in 1996. And in the
recording, Davis allegedly tells
investigators that it was his nephew,
Orlando Baby Lane Anderson, that fired
the shots that killed Shakur. Davis
claims the Cadillac they were riding in
pulled up next to the BMW that was
carrying both Shakur and Deathro Records
co-founder Suge Knight. That when there
wasn't a clear shot, he passed the gun
to the back seat. One other man was
reluctant, so Anderson grabbed the gun,
rolled down the window, and opened fire.
The interview was conducted as part of
an LAPD investigation into the murder of
rapper Notorious B.I. Davis was
considered a person of interest in that
case because he owned a car that was
apparently similar to one that
investigators believe was involved in
the shooting. But Davis says he only
agreed to speak with detectives in order
to avoid prosecution on drug charges
that he says could have landed him
behind bars for life. Now, of course, he
denies all of this, right?
>> Well, there it is, man. Um, man, listen,
guys. this case doesn't get he's still
now now this case is switching up by a
day but he's saying now hey man them

TV's neighborhood, right?
>> Right.
>> He was on the stand yesterday.
>> Yeah, I seen him. I seen him.
>> Okay. And uh the key part about it, he
end up being a federal informant
was informing on KPD and KPD was
informing on somebody else.
>> Oh my god.
He said he was in half a he's in a drug
program
after he got busted and that they had
him to until he made a total of $5,000
$1,500 $500 with the DEA uh drug
enforcement or task force he drug
transfer to testify from 2007 on QPD and
the day before that they had the FBI
agent on this other agent. His name was
Lee, too. Like this, like his son.
Uh-huh. He testified that Kephy D
informed on him about uh Wayne Davies

of this what what is starting to to peel
off like an onion, right? is the people
closest to you that you think you in.
This is this is why like I said a [ __ ]

that acting like they gang members
that's working for the feds that's
talking the dude asked him yesterday. He
says, "Do you just inform her on drug
charges or any you have the ability to
any crime?" Like I want to get rid of
you. I can just go tell the feds, yeah,
you know, I seen this murder and this

you because I'm working for them. This
is what this is what rat 100 is. He's a

conversation where where uh uh you and
Wack had words back and forth that you
just being hard on him because he, you
know, he he basically you already
>> and and and and they they could be
exactly right. I am, but we got to call
it. We can't keep passing over this like
it ain't nothing. These dudes are
infiltrating our lives, our children,
and you thinking that they cool and they
work. This man was selling on his own
neighborhood for $500.
>> Yeah. the guy over there, the one the
one that that was on the stand
>> talking about he's a oh I didn't want to
come I was subpoenaed. No, you got a job
working for the DU since 2007.
>> Let me ask you this because it was a
time when I seen a badge or something
fall out of uh uh Wag 100 played a game
on the internet where he had a badge and
it fell out and hit the ground and he
you know hid the badge. Uh was that what
he he accidentally pulled it out.
[laughter]
Is that I mean that I don't even know if
that's real.
>> And that was Wait a minute, brother.
>> I don't even know if that's real. OG. He
just doing something for the internet.
>> That wasn't even That was before AI.
That was real.
>> OG, you So, so OG, you saying this guy
that came up, there's no surprises to
you. It is a surprise. But in the in the
essence of it, in the essence of it,
when you see these guys getting on that
used to be so-called ex gang members and
they they really informants for the FBI,
when you see these guys taking a stand
on Kefi D. Uh you like, whoa. Like I
knew it, but I never seen it up close
and personal how they was doing it.
But you know, you know, you see these
dudes in the neighborhood and you know
they ain't built like this, but they got
all the they you know they just pop up
like a egg and you wonder where he come
from. But he got this money, he got this
swag and every
uh they're around rats have a way uh of
having everybody know all the right
stories to tell. They do this and they
do that and everybody when they they
buying the bottles, they buying this and
they steadily getting information. Man,
if a man get to answer you too much
about your personal business, you better
know where you wired.
>> See, we didn't do it like that in the
South OG. It was a little bit different.
What we done was we had what you call uh
they were informants, but then they'll
get you and then you get a secret
indictment after they leave. Like you
knew they was in like I seen a few of
them come through. I like that [ __ ] he
ain't from who is that [ __ ] you know in
the country we know already that [ __ ]
ain't from here right like I don't and
then some of them will be they a lot of
time get black people but sometime they
get a white boy which that's a dead red
flag like what is he who he ain't got no
white boys down here but this black dude
will come in or this black woman and
you'll be like who is she and she'll get
in the mix with the other the fiends or
the people who already riding it they be
f to a car and the one you know they'll
come up first right? And be like, "Yeah,
that that's my friend or whatever." And
you like, "Okay, who is that with you?
Who is that?" You know, you got to look
in the car like, "Who the [ __ ] who is
that?" And you look in the car. Oh,
that's my home girl. She from uh like it
may be like two states over or stay
over. Yeah. She just came in. And you
like what? Don't bring her back over
here. You bring your ass back over here
with her. You better not come back over
here with her. Don't you bring nobody
new with you when you That was a rule we
had. And if if you come over there with
somebody new, I'm going to tell you,
man. Even if I ain't cuz I'm just
standing out there most time my little
my little under boss is out there on the
on the on the block and be like I pull
up like a supervisor [ __ ] like who is
that? Oh that's old girl. She said who?
Oh she be over. No man I don't know her
man. I grew up with that one right there
but I don't know that one. And you like
yeah and then they tricking with her and
they messing with her. They'll do
anything to get the case. They'll do
anything to be a part of winning the
case. So they'll have sex with you. They
even smoke. But we had a rule like, man,
can they take they can't tell you if
they in the law. If they law, they got
to say it. You know, [laughter]
we had all them little rules and [ __ ]
That [ __ ] wasn't working. They show
right up to court. They do a sweep. Next
thing we know, all my partners is
getting picked up, but I didn't never
get picked up. You want to know why?
I was on some I don't know that [ __ ]
[laughter]
>> I never knew nobody. I didn't never hand
with nobody. I never knew. I didn't play
games like that. So when you start
seeing people like this guy come to
court like you talking about and he show
up because he was over there with them.
Did he actually grow up with them or did
he just show up with them?
>> Did he grow up with them or did he show
up with them?
>> That's what I'm talking about right now.
These are some dudes that you grew up
with.
>> Okay. So that's the difference.
>> And and and [clears throat] they didn't
mess around and caught a case.
>> They got jammed. made they he he caught
a drug case and he made a deal with the
DEA with HA to go back to his
neighborhood and uh Keith D catch a case
but after he do and Ke they make him
tell on some folk with dude all the time

So the profer agreement is really a note
that I work with them. When when you go
sign that profer agreement you showing
that I'm working with them.
>> Right. Right.
>> Pretty much. Right. Am I right or wrong?
>> Pretty much. Pretty much.
>> So soon as you heard profer whatever
happened after that with KD if you
talking to him or dealing with him you
under surveillance too. just right right
up on you got big they got to bring
[laughter] you all the information
connected with what you're talking about
or what's going on and you you get
debriefed every month.
>> Hold on one second. Hold on. Hold on one
second. Wait a minute. You get debriefed
every month. Just hold that.
>> Joining me now from our NewsNation
affiliate Kelly Kas in Las Vegas,
investigative reporter Vanessa Murphy.
She exclusively interviewed Dwayne KVD
Davis just 10 days before the start of
his trial. Been covering from the very
beginning. Great to have you here. The
story in that 2008 uh interview is
different than the one he told you,
right?
>> It sure is. He told me that he wasn't
even in Nevada that night. I also asked
him about a specific photo where he's
with a group of gentlemen that we
thought investigators may have been
pointing to. He was wearing a heavier
suit and he said, "Look, that was not
September 7th, 1996. I wouldn't be
wearing a heavy suit in the Las Vegas
heat. He he insists he was not even in
the state that.
>> Okay, stop it right there. That Okay, so
and I just wanted to play that rest of
that he wasn't even in state that night.
But at this point, he's saying he told
all this stuff. Now, you were just
saying when before I cut you off to how
they how they would get down, how they
even end up in these situations trying
to understand, okay, this is what he
showed up now. He's he's We asking him
about Biggies or whatever is what they
said. We asking about Biggie shooting.
But now he's he's giving me information
about something else cuz he he don't
want to he don't want to be in more
trouble or he just want to talk because
he he been thinking about telling some
[ __ ] anyway. Oh, he said he was trying
to stop. No, but he said I was trying to
stop from a drug charge I had already.
>> Right. Right.
>> But then Reggie Reggie get on the stand
and call him a straight crackhead.
>> Yeah. First. Yeah. He was a crackhead
first under that's through Reggie's
testimony and Reggie Wright Jr. knows
better than anybody else because he was
a a Compton gang uh officer at the time
and the this his his partner which was
uh a guy named Eric Paridan who was was
the uh assistant DA at the time that
sure uh that this this incident
happened. He left Compton Police
Department.
Hold on. OG, stop the press.
Are you telling me everybody that you
naming, Reight, this other detective,
um, Kef D, all of these people, they all
go to Vlad TV?
>> All of them. [laughter]
>> This is Wag 100, everybody over at Vlad.
>> Yeah, they they they they all in the
same gang as they said it. See, and
[clears throat] the uh Reggie Wright
knows so well about Keith D because his
partner Eric Parad that was Keith D's uh
go-to man. Whenever Eric needed
something, he would go to KPD at the
neighborhood. He was the informant for
um Eric Paridan on the streets when Eric
needed anything done. So when he got
arrested,
that's was the go-to man he was in the
DA's office in and that's who helped him
get the proper agreement instead of
getting total immunity. He's so dumb. He
didn't know the difference.
>> What What about this? This Eric Clar and
all these guys since they've been on
Vlad TV and uh they all done been on his
show, he done got all the information
for the little bread he give them or
whatever. Why didn't they just take a TV
and set it right in front of the jury
and just play let Kefi sit there even
his own testimony just show it to the
jury? Uh Rey Wright, Mob James, uh god
dang Kefi D, he did three or four over
there. Uh this Eric Clarin and dude, you
know what I'm saying? Just just
[laughter]
>> now. Wouldn't that Wouldn't that be fun?
>> Would that that would that would be the
same thing we watching?
But see, if they played that the the the
Vlad TV shows, right?
>> Right.
>> How they how they embellished the truth.
Uh Kefi D would be found not guilty.
[laughter]
>> If you got all them interviews, uh uh
[laughter] uh Mad Brener, they call him
Blondie and Lad.
>> Yeah. Uh they said when when they said
early in this in this in this testimony
in this trial that Compton PD after uh
Orlando got killed uh when he was when
he was unlived that amazingly Compton PD
supposedly found the murder weapon and
took it to Las Vegas. And this is the
gun that killed Tupac and Metro Las
Vegas rejected it. Like, man, y'all some
L. Yeah, y'all got the got the weapon.
All right. But we know how you got it.
So, they rejected and now the weapon
came up missing.
>> Wow. Man, I just it's it cringes me,
man, to see just how how
the press and how cuz they had press
back in the day, but certain things like
a street dude wasn't f to get on camera
back in the days. Right. Right. Now it's
done totally flipped and and only one
was on camera back in the days to my
recollection was the guys who was the
entertainers. Right now it's done
flipped. Now you got [ __ ] who
supposedly was the ones that was in the
streets is out here on these microphones
and they want to be entertainers and
informants at the same damn time.
>> Right. Right. Well, I mean that that
leads back to the the '9s when uh uh
drug kingpins were would were doing the
uh American gangster up up in the
basketball game with the fur coats on.
And then BMF took it to another level
and they start coming from Atlanta to
California closing down the bar and you
got a thousand people around and these
is gang members and drug dealers and the
police are sitting across the street
taking a picture of everybody [laughter]
elaminating who the drug dealers. So now
one drug dealer trying to outdo another
drug dealer uh Dale Dog in Main Street.
He was with Shaq him and
>> Yeah, I remember you. Yeah, I studied
over him
>> and and and [clears throat]
they they going to the game sitting
right on the front. They were and this
is LA gang members and they all on Steve
Harvey show. So they start elimin
illuminating that they movie stars now,
not just drug drug dealers. Right.
Right.
>> All the time they getting the self
indicted with people like Right. 100
living by and and going into field
trading to them and thinking they
somebody else and they talking too much
to them and the next thing you know they
got uh CS1 back he said this he said
[laughter] that like oh this
>> Listen man y'all get in the comments let
me know what y'all think man this here
it just will Kei D get released or will
he be going to sit down in prison for
the rest of his life will you let me
finish see y'all you cutting each other
off. This man just hollered out
blatantly without excuse me or nothing.
Hell no. That the man ain't getting out.
But I'm trying to let y'all know that
there's a chance that the jury and and
OG might say there ain't a chance in
hell. But there's a chance if you are in
there, there's one guy, there's one
brother in this in this jury. They told
him 10 women in this damn thing and one
uh male of some other uh nationality.
Um, will he be released?
Will he walk out of here a free man in
three weeks from now? Because he said it
last four weeks.
>> He gonna do a snowfall. He He can forget
it.
Standall.
>> And will Wag 100 be a part of this? As
OG alluded to boots on the ground saying
that he will be standing. He did try to
we did see where he tried to bail him
out, but that doesn't mean uh that he's
going to show up to no trial. I don't I
can't say I agree with OG. I don't know
what he boots on the ground talking
about. But I can say we don't know
what's going to happen, but we will find
out in the next coming weeks what's
going to happen with Ke uh the juror
that the lady that he did the interview
with, that's what I was talking about
this morning 10 days ago. Well, 10 days
before the trial started, he said all
kind of stuff in that interview. And was
he telling the truth or did he just make
up some stuff? We don't know. But like I
said, on the West Coast, we know what
they known for up there. We see what
they're doing up there. And we're trying
to figure out, man, what's going to
happen next? because we've never seen
nothing like we're seeing that's
happening in Las Vegas with the way
these guys that come up from Compton and
come up from uh LA and they're getting
on this stand and I you know I don't
know what to make of it. OG I'll let you
