Suge allegedly said Tupac was raped in jail

[Kobe]

I found this article online.

‘What about Tupac? Shouldn’t we be helping or supporting him in some way? He’s in jail and I’ve had letters from him. He’s not doing well.’

For a moment, Suge’s face went black as thunder. Then he laughed and said, looking at David Kenner, ‘Did he tell you about when he was raped?’

I was nervous and confused. I just hooked onto the word ‘rape’ and not what he’d actually said. I thought he said something like ‘’Did he tell you about the girl he raped?’ so I automatically rushed to his defence.

‘That’s not true and you know it. He didn’t do it.’

Suge bristled slightly but carried on laughing. All the staff members stood in stunned silence.

‘Tupac’s been raped!’ laughed Suge, looking at David Kenner who also chuckled. The more I ranted in Pac’s defence, the more Suge laughed over me.

Everyone heard him say this. I don’t know how people could have worked up there when Tupac later joined Death Row knowing Suge had been so blatant with his malicious disrespect of him.

The piece is more of a diary of according to the website:

Clash presents the further adventures of Nina Bhadreshwar from during her stint working for Death Row Records in Los Angeles in the mid 90s. Today's feature focuses on her friendship with Tupac Shakur and the increasingly volatile atmosphere at Death Row.

This is the 1st part of the story where she talks about how she got to work with Death Row.

Seems a bit far fetched to me. Says that he thought Suge was referring to the girl that alleged Pac raped her, so if that is what he thought how can he now say it was about Pac being raped? If you think something to be true thats what you know to be true. Did he later have a conversation with Suge and Suge said "Hey remember that time we were talking about Pac being raped? You thought I meant the girl, but I was talking about Pac."

Just doesnt add up.

Regardless, this is before Suge met or even probably knew Pac, so he would have just been commenting on the rumors that were going around at the time. It's not confirmation of anything.

If I edit the text in the convo this is what it would have been like:

Nina: What about Tupac? Shouldn’t we be helping or supporting him in some way? He’s in jail and I’ve had letters from him. He’s not doing well.

Suge: Did he tell you about when he was raped?’

>This is the point where Nina gets confused because she thought Suge was referring to the rape case, so she defends Pac's innocence<


Nina: That’s not true and you know it. He didn’t do it.

>Suge then clarifies his stand<

Suge: Tupac’s been raped!

The confusion on her side is acknowledged by her. After she talks about Pac not doing it, Suge re-iterates what he meant i.e. Pac was raped in jail. That's how I saw it. While the rumors were going round, if this whole story is true, its a bit ironic that Pac ended up swearing allegiance with one of the people that was spreading the 'raped in jail' rumors.
