Inmate Admits He Shot Tupac Shakur

By Boombox Editors Posted Jun 16th 2011 12:15AM

A convicted murderer, long suspected of involvement in the 1994 Quad Studios shooting of Tupac Shakur, has finally admitted to committing the crime, and has accused Game's manager, Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond -- founder of Czar Entertainment -- of masterminding the botched robbery, which left the legendary rapper shot five times.

"I want to apologize to his [Tupac's] family and for the mistake I did for that sucker [Rosemond]," Dexter Isaac told AllHipHop.com yesterday (June 15), on the eve of Tupac's 40th birthday.

In an explosive confession dedicated to his former friend, whom he helped to launch entertainment company Henchmen Entertainment in 1989, Isaac explained that he has "stayed silent in prison for the past 13 years, doing a life sentence like a real soldier should," but that he is "tired of listening to your [Rosemond's] lies."

"In 1994, James Rosemond hired me to rob 2Pac Shakur at the Quad Studio," said Isaac, who is currently housed in Brooklyn, N.Y.'s Metropolitan Detention Center. "He gave me $2,500, plus all the jewelry I took, except for one ring, which he wanted for himself. It was the biggest of the two diamond rings that we took. He said he wanted to put the stone in a new setting for his girlfriend at the time, Cynthia Ried. I still have as proof the chain that we took that night in the robbery."

While Tupac survived the shooting, which took place on November 30, 1994, in Manhattan's Quad Recording Studios, and left him shot twice in the head, the incident directly instigated the deadly East Coast-West Cost rap feud, which resulted in the shooting deaths of both Tupac and his East Coast rival Biggie Smalls.

Isaac's shocking statement goes on to hint at future revelations regarding the fallen rappers, even drawing Bad Boy honcho-turned-entertainment mogul Diddy into the fray, claiming that Rosemond will "flip" on Biggie's former cohort for his involvement in the shootings.

"Now I'm not going to talk about my friend Biggie's death or 2Pac's death, but I would like to give their mothers some closure. It's about time that some one did, and I will do so at a different time," Isaac continued ominously. "Jimmy, you and Puffy like to come off all innocent-like, but as the saying goes: You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time. Mr. Rosemond, I ask you: Are you going to flip on Puffy when the feds get you? To save yourself like you have done in the past?"

Rosemond, who manages rapper Game, singer Sean Kingston and Mike Tyson, among others, is currently still on the lam, facing federal cocaine conspiracy charges, and has been accused of being a government informant by the New York Daily News, 50 Cent and others.

Isaac is currently serving life in prison for the robbery and murder of a Brooklyn taxi-cab driver.

As a HUGE Tupac fan, this really makes me sad. They had an indirect involvement in the deaths of both of these men. The truth, after 15 years. And if DIDDY had anything to do with this then his career should be crucified.

Wow, a felon kills a rapper and spends the rest of his life in jail. Now that's what I call a win-win thang.

Yo! Him so tough, him so cool, didn't haveta go to school, drag his meat and start to drool, make big money off yo fools, suck a bullet, yank his tool. GOOD RIDDANCE!!! If all baggy-arse pants dildog-hatted knuckle-dragging 'artists' of this genre could just kill each other, the planet would breath a sigh of relief!!! Go back to the gutter, maybe we'll get a good flood, and I hope you just don't plug the drains!!

talk about your non-stories! a dead drug dealer from 15 years ago!

By Tara

I think this has more to do with this Rosewood character letting others take the fall for the things hes set into motion and to also give Tupac and Biggie's mother's both some closure after all these years. Yes, they might be just "dead rappers" to you, but to others, they were sons, brothers, friends, etc. and not having someone pay for a loved ones murder in itself is just continued torture of the persons death as it never starts to heal until someone is held responsible.

I thought for sure it was John Mark Karr?

By JANI

The Diddy thing wouldn't surprise me. I've always thought he had something to do with it. But we need proof in court.

Tupac is not dead.

By mszags

So ...we are to believe a thug???? A criminal and murderer who has decided to tell the truth and GIVE closure after 15 years???? What ever....this is old news...they are dead....no great loss to society. Move on........................

By Gill

I hope that no one in your family ever death is unresolved and you think day and night about what happen? These mothers need some kind of closure. Something to believe in. To their mothers they were here and they did contribute to society. I do not like rap myself, but I am a great fan of human life.

By Zana

Gill....judge me if it makes you feel good but re read my post....Closure from a lying , murdering thug!!!!!! That`s FALSE closure. Has prison given him validity now???? Don`t tell me....let me guess...he found God in there, right!!!!!
