Friends Say B.I.G. was in New York When Tupac Was Shot
Friends of Christopher Wallace (”Notorious B.I.G.”) say the rapper was in New York, not in Las Vegas, the night Tupac Shakur was shot. They say a report from the Los Angeles Times, alleging B.I.G. was involved in Shakur’s death, is false.
According to an entertainment manager, B.I.G. was recording in a New York studio. “You can quote me that I was with him,” Wayne Barrow says in a press release. “No way was he in Vegas.”
After the recording session, he went to watch a boxing match at his house in New Jersey, the press release says.
“After his recording session, I was with him later on in his home watching the championship boxing match between Mike Tyson and Bruce Seldon at the MGM Grand Hotel,” says rapper Lil’ Cease. “He was with me all the time. The Los Angeles Times got it all wrong.”
The release concludes, “Session reports from the studio, found in files confirms his presence in the studio. A tape of Christopher from that session along with the paper work will put to rest any theory of him being in Las Vegas on that fateful night.”
