He has previously claimed to have orchestrated the rapper’s death, though he pleaded not guilty to the crime.

<p id=”par-3_36″>Despite this, Davis has pleaded not guilty to murder with the use of a deadly weapon. He said that all of his previous claims were just attempts to sell books. He claimed they were not true.</p>

<p id=”par-4_21″>Ahead of his trial, Davis said that he believes Wright orchestrated Tupac’s murder, and then tried to pin it on him.</p>
<p id=”par-5_24″>“He brought up my name from day one,” Davis told <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.8newsnow.com/investigators/former-death-row-security-chief-calls-keffe-d-a-liar-ahead-of-tupac-murder-trial/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>8 News Now</a>. “He just brought up my name and he basically started bulls***.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_8″>Wright has denied the allegations made against him.</p>
<p id=”par-7_27″>“It’s unfortunate that he wanna bring me into it after all these years cause now I guess he see that his defense is headed downhill,” he said.</p>
<p id=”par-8_23″>In another interview, Wright doubled down on claims that Davis is lying about him. He said that others have said the same thing.</p>
<p id=”par-9_29″>“Had nothing at all to do with this … it’s crazy,” Wright told <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.newsnationnow.com/crime/death-row-security-chief-keffe-d-tupac-accusations/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>NewsNation</a>. “A person that all three of his previous attorneys have called him a habitual liar.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_16″>He believes that the truth will eventually come out. For him, this is all that matters.</p>
<p id=”par-11_26″>“Unfortunately, I got to go and deal with this,” he said. “But I don’t mind, because I know we’re going to eventually get justice for Tupac.”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-suge-knight-isn-t-sure-what-his-defense-will-be”>Suge Knight isn’t sure what his defense will be</h2>
<p id=”par-12_37″>Suge Knight, who worked with Tupac at Death Row Records, said he doesn’t want <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/suge-knight-refuses-testify-tupac-murder-trial-key-witness.html/”>anything to do with</a> the trial. Still, he has shared his thoughts on it. He doesn’t think Davis has much of a defense.</p>
<p id=”par-13_82″>“If that’s his defense, he might as well go out with a bang, and walking in, sock his lawyer right in the face because you already put yourself there,” Knight told <a href=”https://abcnews.com/US/leave-suge-knight-testify-tupac-shakur-murder-suspects/story?id=135500395″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>ABC News</a> of Davis’ alibi. “If somebody’s falling off the cliff, and you know this little twig, this little bitty flowers and daisies or whatever is not going to hold you up — but they’re still grabbing and trying. Knowing it’s not gonna hold them up, and that’s what he’s doing.”</p>

<p id=”par-14_13″>He believes that Davis’ own words will be enough to put him away.</p>
<p id=”par-15_29″>“Everything he said and talked about, he already told on himself,” Knight said. “So what are you going to do? Erase all the recordings of the interviews he did?”</p>
