Billy Garland, de biologische vader van
2Pac, is er van overtuigd dat de Amerikaanse overheid achter de dood van zijn zoon zit. Hij sprak erover met The Art of Dialogue.
Volgens Garland had Pac niet met Orlando Anderson moeten vechten op de avond van zijn dood. In de lobby van het MGM Grand, na het gevecht tussen Mike Tyson en Bruce Seldon, ontstond er een vechtpartij tussen crews van Anderson en Pac. Volgens zijn vader nam Tupac het voortouw en volgde iedereen hem.
"Pac just got hyper and he thought he had to lead," zegt Garland. "If you notice in the video, everybody was following him around. He’s the money-maker. Death Row was the $100 million thing, but everybody’s following 2Pac. Everything he did, everybody attached themselves to him, and he felt obligated to prove that ‘I’m gonna be your leader."
Garland vertelt dat de oom van Anderson, Duane 'Keefe D' Davis erbij was toen Anderson Tupac doodschoot. Volgens Garland had Keefe een deal met de overheid: "The government gave him the deal. 2Pac was being tailed by the government the night of his assassination. He was being tailed by the government while in the studio — that’s a known fact," aldus Garland.
"So I don’t know this guy Keefe, I don’t know. Maybe he had to say that to get out of some issue, I don’t know. I just know it looked like a set up to me. Somebody told this guy to stand there with the Death Row thing and it pursued to what we had, but I don’t think Orlando Anderson had anything to do with the death of my son…not at all.”
