Both All Eyez and Unsolved, both of which Diddy had input on, portray Bad Boy and particularly BIG as kind of naive and child like, only wanting to make music and innocent in the drama, and make ‘Pac seem like a parnoid hot headed bully. Bad Boy come off completely innocent and Suge and Pac come off as the bad guys. It’s just the popular narrative to make Death Row the villains and Bad Boy the innocent kids.
The truth was Bad Boy was just as shady if not more so; and BIG was responsible for the beef. Yes, ‘Pac’s verbal retaliation was brutal, but as we see, justified — which is something current media portrayals dont show.
It’s a case of revisionist history, probably spear headed by Puffy, who has totally distanced himself from any criminal ties in the last decade.
I remember hearing years ago that after the shooting Bad Boy was actually renting ‘Pac’s jewelery out to other NY artists for shows, photo ops and bragging rights. I can’t prove it and without social media back then it’s hard to say. But it’s just a story I heard.
