Keffe D, a suspect in the murder of Tupac Shakur, recently admitted to lying about his alleged involvement in the rapper’s death, reports Radar Online. 

In a bail request, Keffe D, a 60-year-old member of the Crips, asked for his bail to be set at $100,000. According to his bail application, Keffe D claimed that he made false statements about the murder for

“entertainment purposes”

and to profit from the case. His lawyers also referenced Suge Knight’s recent interview with TMZ, where the incarcerated Death Row Records co-founder discussed Shakur’s murder.

“The most compelling evidence that Duane was not involved in the murder of Shakur comes from the mouth of the surviving victim and only living eyewitness, Marion ‘Suge’ Knight,”

Keffe D’s lawyers wrote in the suspect’s bail application this month.

In a recent interview with TMZ, Suge Knight stated that Orlando Anderson, who is the nephew of suspect Keffe D, was not responsible for shooting and killing Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas in September 1996.

“It wasn’t Anderson, that’s all I have to say about that,”

Knight said. 

After discovering that LAPD detective Greg Kading was making money from the case, Keffe D revealed that he chose to write a book called

“Compton Street Legend”

and share his story through YouTube interviews regarding Shakur’s murder.

“Duane decided to become involved with the publishing of the book Compton Street Legend and to give interviews for money after watching Greg Kading profit from the situation,”

Keffe D’s lawyers wrote.

“It has not been established which parts of the book, if any, Duane wrote,”

they added.
