A retired US police officer Greg Kading from hip-hop documentary Murder Rap, has claimed that Biggie Smalls’ mother Voletta Wallace knows that rappers P Diddy and Suge Knight “had some responsibility” in the murder of her son.
The claim was made by Greg Kading at an interview with Murder Master Music Show
The former officer was also featured prominently in Murder Rap: Inside The Biggie & Tupac Murders, a film released earlier this month that names the killers of late hip-hop stars Biggie and Tupac Shakur.
Both Diddy, from New York, and Tupac, in Los Angeles, had been caught up in a bitter rivalry between East and West Coast rappers.
Kading believes Grammy Award-winning artist Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs, also known as Puff Daddy, was responsible for hiring a killer to shoot Tupac in a drive-by in 1996.
Christopher Wallace, aka Biggie Smalls – a close friend of Diddy – was shot dead six months later in a revenge killing, according to Kading, who once led a special task force that investigated the shootings.
During the Murder Master Music Show interview, Kading says that he went to Voletta Wallace’s house before the release of his 2011 book, Murder Rap: The Untold Story of the Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur Murder Investigations.
While on the visit, Kading says that he “sat down with her and explained to her what we had discovered in the police investigation. We sat there and it was a very emotional encounter, because she was, I think, understanding clearly what had happened, and I think she was starting to see that other people were responsible than who she had previously believed based on the Russell Poole nonsense.”
In Murder Rap: Inside The Biggie & Tupac Murders, Kading explains why the investigative work of Poole, who was on the Biggie and Tupac cases before him, was not accurate.
‘RESPONSIBILITY’: Biggie Small and Puff Daddy
Kading’s findings led him to conclude that Puff hired Crips gang member Duane Keith ‘Keffe D’ Davis to kill Shakur and Suge Knight. The bounty was $1 million.
According to Kading’s work, Keffe D’s nephew, Orlando ‘Baby Lane’ Anderson, shot Tupac in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996. The rapper died September 13.
Kading says that Knight then hired Bloods gang member Wardell ‘Poochie’ Fouse to kill The Notorious B.I.G. as retaliation. Biggie Smalls was shot to death in Los Angles March 9, 1997.
Kading says that when he presented Wallace, who had believed detective Poole’s findings, with his information that she had a new perspective regarding the murder of her son.
“I think she knows that all of these guys,” Kading says during the Murder Master Music Show interview, “Puffy and Suge, all had some responsibility in the murder of her son.”
