Video summary
The video centers on the conclusion of the murder trial for Dwan Keefe Davis, also known as KPD, who is accused of orchestrating the 1996 drive-by shooting that killed Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas. The host and his guest, OG, discuss the defense's strategy, noting that Davis has chosen not to testify despite being advised of his right to do so. They argue that this decision was likely made because Davis lacks the ability to handle cross-examination without damaging his case further. The transcript highlights a significant lack of physical evidence against Davis; receipts found at his home list a different name, Orlando Anderson, and forensic evidence from 1996 does not link back to him. Furthermore, the prosecution failed to produce a murder weapon or a car directly connected to Davis, with claims about a white Cadillac being part of Tupac's entourage remaining unverified due to conflicting accounts regarding who rented the vehicle.
A major point of contention discussed is the reliability of witness testimony and the potential for false accusations within the criminal justice system. The hosts express skepticism toward the prosecution's case, suggesting that many witnesses are motivated by money or a desire for fame rather than truth. They reference a medium who claims to speak with Tupac's spirit as an example of how subjective and unverified some evidence can be. Additionally, the conversation touches on the testimony of Suge Knight, whom the defense argues would have been detrimental to their case if he had testified, as his arrogant demeanor and refusal to identify Davis would have undermined the prosecution's efforts. The hosts believe that both sides recognized the risks associated with calling certain witnesses, leading to a situation where key figures like Bob James and Suge Knight either offered unhelpful testimony or were not called at all.
The discussion also delves into the broader cultural and political implications of Tupac Shakur's life and death, drawing parallels between his activism and historical figures like Malcolm X. The hosts argue that Tupac was a leader who shifted focus from mere civil rights to human rights and voting power, which made him an enemy to the state in their view. They suggest that the government may have had a motive to silence him because he was waking people up to what they perceive as real enemies. This perspective is used to explain why the case might be difficult to solve or why certain evidence is missing, framing the trial not just as a legal proceeding but as part of a larger conspiracy involving white America and systemic suppression of black voices.
In conclusion, the hosts predict that the jury will likely find Davis not guilty due to the absence of solid physical evidence and the questionable nature of the witnesses presented. They anticipate that closing arguments will be brief and that a verdict could come down by Thursday, potentially resulting in a hung jury or an acquittal. The video ends with a warning to viewers about the dangers of false confessions and snitching, citing other high-profile trials happening simultaneously as evidence of a pattern where young black men are unfairly targeted. Ultimately, the hosts maintain that while the public may know who killed Tupac, the truth is rarely admitted, and this trial serves as another example of how the justice system fails to deliver justice in such complex cases.

Yeah, we on Boss Talk TV. Shout out to
E. The reason you see um it was pretty
clear that it was going to be a very
short case.
>> How do you feel about the state, the
witnesses that they've brought forward
so far and how you've been questioning
them?
>> How I've been questioning them?
>> Mhm.
>> I don't know.
>> How would you rate your performance?
>> Uh, you know, out of 10, maybe a two,
two and a half.
Why do you think that?
>> Cuz there's always room for improvement.
I don't know. I That's a horrible
question. I I can't give you an answer
to that. I I always think I could do
better. Let's put it that way.
>> Has Mr. Davis decided whether he'll
testify?
>> He was advised today of the court as to
his right to testify and so the court's
given him time to think about it. And so
he has until the uh time that we arrest
our case and chief to make that
decision.
>> Has he told you if he wanted to?
>> And at this particular point, I think
that's a question I can't answer because
it's attorney. Let me stop it right
there. Um Kefi D uh his lawyer, the guy
with the afro that I told you look like
Lionel Richie and got a tattoo on his
hand like he just I don't know one of
these young boys out here in the
streets. Um advis he says that Kefi D
could have testified. Will this hurt
Kefy D for him not testifying? We'll
find out with after these closing
arguments and we get this verdict come
this week or either next or next week.
OG, are you there?
>> I'm right here.
>> OG, look like your boy done ma made your
boy, you talk so good about this
attorney, but he's not I don't think I
don't know if KPD might have should have
said something. He been talking any damn
way the whole time.
Well, uh, he he the attorney did right
because TPD is good at saying something
when he's monitored, but he doesn't know
how to do stuff off the cuff. He's not
that bright. And if he did say anything,
uh, once he got off the defense and the
prosecution crossed him up, he wouldn't
know how to handle it. So, he would put
himself in a in a deeper place. what uh
STAFF HAS DONE NOW, he's made everything
that the police
presented, he put a gray area over it.
>> Okay.
the uh the the the
evidence that they had from that they
got from his house of 1996
and it has receipts has three different
receipts but all three of the receipts
have Orlando Anderson. It doesn't have
KPD on it. All of this the the the
forens for forensics that they had from
1996, none of it goes back to KD. So
they don't have any solid evidence. They
don't have a gun. They don't have a car.
They don't have anything. The police got
on there and said that the car was a
rental. lad from counter police
department claims that they went looking
for and it was one of the girlfriend.
Now that wasn't lad that was one of the
Las Vegas metro and they they
claimed that it was one of the homeboys
his sister supposed to rent a car but
they could not verify who the sister was
or who the homeboy was. So they never
verified that a white car was ever
taken. So when staff got on, he got on
and he talked about the entourage that
left MGM Grand to go to SH Knight's
residence. In that entourage,
a white Cadillac was in that entourage.
Right.
>> Right.
>> The white or cream Cadillac was in that
entourage. Now when they left out
another officer, a black officer was
over over metro also said when Tupac
them left out in that entourage leave it
out was a was a white or cream Cadillac.
>> Wow.
>> That that Cadillac was in the entourage
with Tupac, huh?
All right, OG, it's time for me to go on
and get you straight. Uh again, as
usual, we um
me and you took a trip here recently out
and we walked and we looked at
everything that was happening
to your recollection
to what we seen in the news to what we
seen. Uh, do you still think that when
he made the U-turn, he bust his tire
going up uh, Flamingo?
I I never could understand. Or Cobalt.
The the young lady said she she said he
was coming off a coal. Um, they were in
change clothes, too. There were they
they weren't in the same clothes they
had on when they was at at the uh, so
they
>> fight
>> at the fight.
Have you changed your mind on the way
you perceive that that night? Or do you
still feel like they were coming up
flamingo?
>> They were going flamingo east eastbound.
>> Right.
>> When when the shooting happened, they
made a Uturn. And when they made the
Uturn,
uh,
Suge hit the curb and knocked out the
tire and they went back west toward Las
Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo.
>> Okay. Okay. Now,
one thing I can say, there's been a lot
said since all of this this case has
sprung up, and you got Kephy D
now saying he wasn't in Vegas when he
got a whole book written that he was in
Vegas. Who do you believe?
Well, how many books are written in
fiction? Was Carrie real? Was the Helter
Skelter real? So everybody
uh embellishes their story, you know.
And I said I I remember one time um I
was in this this uh prison in California
called Dual Vocational Institute. Right.
>> Right.
>> And and I came down from San Quint and
when I got there it was 960 crips on the
line. They say wasn't no bloods ABLE TO
GET ON THEIR LINE. RIGHT.
>> RIGHT.
And my point was same bus brought me
brought you. So why I'mma lock up? But
then I would hear stories about some
stuff that happened in that prison with
me that it made me a superhero that
never happened.
>> So
>> so so PEOPLE I CAN MAN YOU WALKED THAT
LINE FOR five months. didn't lock UP OR
NOTHING, BUT I HAD HELP. You dig what
I'm saying?
>> Mhm.
>> But if you look at it from a a a viewer,
man, he did this, he did that. Some of
that stuff never really happened.
>> Well, I can tell you right now, KD has
got himself in a world in a world of
trouble. A world of trouble. Listen at
this.
Tupac murder. And this was on Sky News.
Tupac's murder trial latest. The defense
rests his case. jurors uh to hear
closing arguments next week. Rapper
Tupac Shakob was shot a in a 1996
uh
in a 1996
driveby in Las Vegas. For decades, his
killing went unsolved. But now, former
LA gang leader Dwan Kei D. Davis is on
trial accused of orchestrating the
murder. He denies the charge following
the latest court. He denied it, right?
uh testimony. Here's the key points. In
the Tup in in the Tupac murder trial has
now ended. Closing arguments begin next
week, which we know that'll be tomorrow.
The final day of the evidence includes
three witnesses for the defense, but
defendant Kei D. Davis did not take the
stand. Prosecutors say Davis
orchestrated the shooting in Las Vegas
in 1996 as an act of revenge after his
nephew was beat up. It says, "But the
defense says there are no facts and no
physical evidence and Davis was known
for bull bsing.
Live updates by the culture and
entertainment reporters." Okay. Typical
highlights. Tupac was talk was taken in
an ambulance but did not name the
shooter. "I'm not going to send him to
prison. You are a hostile witness."
Tells the defense. The Biggie murder
investigation. We didn't have anything
to do with what with with that one. We
did the other one. That's This is your
boy Kev Davis heard telling the police
who allegedly shot Tupac.
Okay. Former detective tells of unproven
theory. Did he uh offer a payment?
Tupac's killer is a hero in the hood. In
the world, he's a villain. man who man
listen at this man who took uh final
picture of rapper describes the scene I
got nothing to lose the juror show a
document showing a documentary of
footage of Davis so there's a lot and
I'll just stop right there the
background timeline all that's here but
so this week what do you expect to see
OG
>> oh
Monday they'll have closing arguments
which won't be that long I think it'll
in the hands of the jury by Tuesday and
I think we'll have a verdict by
Thursday.
>> Okay. And you think you you more leaning
toward Keifa D being being uh being a
hung jury and Kev D walking out of
there?
>> Either a hung jury or what? It's no way
that 12 people can give a firstdegree
murder with no evidence for what I said.
I mean, that's the only thing that and
and and and and staff may say it in his
closing arguments of copycat killers are
people. You got thousands of people
coming to the police station every day
over this whole United States popping to
murders, popping to things that they
haven't done. Psychopath that's just
coming in claiming. So if they got
somebody on the stand from the police
department and ask how many false claims
do you get a day, they would be sitting
there all day.
>> Wow.
>> So once you get a [ __ ] and give him
some money and I'll tell you any story
you want to hear.
>> Wow. Wow. So um you feel like he'll get
he he'll be uh he he'll be shown as not
guilty,
>> man. I I MAN, ONE TIME THESE GUYS PUMPED
ME UP SO BAD. I I I was such a hell of a
killer. You know, I confessed to killing
Abraham Lincoln.
>> You weren't even born back then.
>> So, you know, here I get it, man. So,
and and and his attorney made it a point
to say he was a jokester and then he he
would make jokes and stuff and you know,
this is what he done. So, I think the
attorney definitely did everything that
he could do to make sure to he played it
smooth. He didn't he didn't make no
crucial mistakes. He played it the way I
think he should have played it if he was
going to take this case on. I don't know
who who who paid him because he he
definitely got paid.
>> He didn't go overboard. He he he did
this this case for clout. This this
either make him or break him.
>> Wow. It'll break him.
>> Either make him or break him. either
nobody want to use him or and even if
they convict DVD with with the
demonstration that he made, he'll still
be a hell of an attorney in Las Vegas.
You know, he'll still be hell
>> what about that lady that you was out
there on the streets talking to? The
woman who can tell she talk she speaks
to Tupac still to this day.
>> Oh, the medium. the medium speaks to she
talks to Tupac still to this day and and
and and she feels like, you know, she
can't hear everything he says quite
everything cuz he's, you know, he's
stuck in that lost period of time, but
she says they they talk quite often.
What do you take of that,
>> man? Do you see how white America I I
don't care what it is, they'll try to
steal our shine. for what it is.
Now, here's a white lady wasn't even
born when this would happen. And she has
a personal just like most of y'all, you
know, you have this uh uh personal
conversation with Jesus all the time.
>> Yes.
>> And nothing changed in their life,
right? And she sits here and
>> No, everything's changed in our life
now. Go ahead.
>> Excuse me.
>> Everything's changed in our life now. Go
ahead.
>> For the worst,
>> for the best. go.
>> So anyway, here she comes with her
psychopathic butt in 106°
telling us what went down and she wasn't
even on the scene.
A a white lady out of Oregon, a little
white girl, man. Uh yeah. Uh uh Satie
Hawkins really she she she was a mess.
She was a mess. She had a personal
discussion with Tupac. Yes. All the
time. She's one of the main
conversationalists in the afterlife. So,
um, do you do you know how many people
you've seen the little guy we talked to?
I think he's from Spain and u and and
you've seen the roses that was there and
you see people still going over there to
that memorial. Um, as we walk through
there and we, you know, you educated me
on kind of the where this thing happened
at, uh, kind of the feel you had for it.
I said the feel I had for it. few people
chimed in and told us what they thought
about it, man. Um, this whole thing
being tied up in a bow and set before a
jury now about to come to an end. Um,
man, um, do you think we'll ever find
out who exactly killed Tupac?
>> Everybody know, but nobody want to
nobody admit it.
>> Wow. Everybody know, nobody admit it.
you know, uh, a lot of the people feel
like he was a leader and and that the
things that he was going was doing at
some point would start being culturistic
change. Um, meaning he had that much of
influence. A lot of people uh look at
him, you know, they'll say thugs the
hate you gave, you know, the infant
children, they'll say, you know, when he
was saying Brenda's got a baby and all
these songs and uh all the stuff that uh
that that he represented uh represented
the people in a way to where he was
standing for the people as well. He
might have had he was young so he had
his mishaps but the stuff he they say he
would stop and go to a hospital if a kid
was hurting or somebody or you know he
always had time for the people uh even
as a young man but he also was in the
streets he was caught between the two he
was an actor
>> not not exactly caught between see the
same way with Malcolm X right
>> as long when Malcolm was in the Nation
of Islam and he said the white man was
the devil. Negroes would ain't going to
accept a white man being the devil.
That's that's their savior. They looking
at Jesus,
>> right?
>> But when he turned and started saying
ballot or the bullet and he started
saying uh
rights, human rights instead of civil
rights. NOW HE'S WAKING UP A people on
the government and he became an enemy of
the state,
>> right? Mhm.
>> And so now he has to be eliminated
because if you wake up too many people
thinking about what who their real enemy
is, it takes a change in life. HE SAID
THE BALLOT ON THE BULLET, YOU KNOW, dare
to struggle, dare to win. Those type of
things like no, we're not marching
anymore. We're standing up. He took a
different view. Now on the other side,
as long as Tupac was Brenda had a baby,
but when he start said rock the vote and
he made the statement, the bold
statement 6 months before he was
uh assassinated,
he said on the uh Rock the Vote, he
says,
"If I can get 1% of the 1 million
followers
to FOLLOW ME AND THE VOTE WILL change
America. Man, you know that shattered
America thinking that this underground
movement.
>> Mhm.
>> So, it's bigger than just
a tribal thing. All of these
coincidences happen, but there's a way
bigger picture. And we don't understand
the bigger picture until the commercial
come on.
>> What about And let me ask you this. What
about
um when you when you look at this case
and you see these guys and you see how
this thing is going to is going to end.
It's going to flow in a way to where
Kefi and he's doing his he he's going to
get the time whatever a lot of he's
going to be let free. Do you feel like
the prosecution didn't feel like Suge
Knight's uh testimony would be worthy
and the defense didn't either or what
happened with that? Because I thought
for sure they get Suge to come in and
say a few things.
>> Well, the prosecution most definitely
knew that Suge would damage their case
cuz he wouldn't identify uh Kyd just him
being obstinate. Now,
through his persona
for the defense, he would take on such
arrogant approach on the killing of
Tupac. it would damage KPD. So, he's not
a good witness at all for nobody but
himself.
>> And that's why they left him in jail and
didn't in prison and didn't even bring
didn't even bother to deal with
>> what you what he AIN'T GOOD FOR NO SIDE.
>> WOW. SO, Suge Knight pretty much that
was why they they kind of, you know,
they seen it like, "Hey, man. We gonna
go ahead and let that go. Let that long
man. We ain't got time." The prosecution
knew they made a blunder when they
called uh uh Bob James.
>> Whoa. Why? Well, Bob James gave a hell
of a hell of a testimony. He said he
didn't come here to put nobody in
prison.
>> Yeah, man. So, I I don't I don't WANT TO
PUT NOBODY IN PRISON. UH I'LL let y'all
do that. Well, in in Suge in Suge trial,
when Suge went to court in preliminary,
>> Yeah. The victim SAID THE SAME THING.
>> DAMN.
>> I'm not going to let y'all MAKE ME A
SNITCH. THE PROSECUTOR WILL WHY ARE YOU
ON THE STAND?
>> You already here now?
>> Yeah.
>> Wow. Wow, man. So, it's it's it just was
a lot a lot. Have Have y'all seen a
climate where you got the Lil Durk
trial, you got the uh uh Kiwan White uh
yellow beey trial going on along with
that trial, KVD's trial. They they did
three in the same dang month, man.
Started them and everything,
>> man. That you talking about that's like
lightning striking. You can see what
white America is doing to our young
black men.
>> And if these dudes don't see the writing
on the wall, if this let this can man,
it's a lot that you've learned from
these three trials. Every one of them
jab is a snitch on on on on little dirt.
Right. Right.
