Diamond D recently recalled a time that 2Pac shot two "drunk" and "rogue" police officers who were "harassing a Black man" nearby. The incident occurred after the two attended Clark Atlanta University’s homecoming in 1993. Diamond D posted about the night on Instagram on its 30th anniversary, earlier this week.
“It was 30 yrs ago last night when me, Pac and Stretch flew to ATL for his show at Clark U,” Diamond D wrote. “Afterwards as we were approaching the Sheraton hotel off 14th & Peachtree (it is now called The Starling Hotel) is where the infamous incident happened when Pac shot 2 drunk rogue plain clothed white cops who were harassing a Black man.” From there, Diamond D claims 2Pac “intervened to help” the person “he didn’t even know.” In retaliation, the officers apparently “smashed the driver’s side window.”
"I was in the back seat watching this shyt. Pac got out the car and as the cops walked away pac got down to one knee in a firing stance and hit em both in the ass. He beat this case because both cops were drunk and both had guns they took from the evidence room from their station…plus they were from another county so they were wrong all the way around they were outside looking for trouble and they found it." According to AllHipHop, 2Pac was charged with two counts of aggravated assault, but the charges were dropped when it was discovered that one of the officers was using a gun he’d stolen from the Henry County evidence room. Check out Diamond D's full post below.
Diamond D's post comes after Las Vegas Metropolitan Police finally arrested Keefe D for the murder of 2Pac in September. His arraignment will go down on November 2. Be on the lookout for further updates on Keefe D's case on HotNewHipHop.

Olivia Rodrigo’s love for The White Stripes led her to spend thousands on a dress worn by Meg White.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the 23 year old singer admitted paying an "exorbitant amount of money" for the vintage white Gunne Sax dress. Meg, 51, wore it on the cover of Elephant, the 2003 album she recorded with bandmate and former husband Jack White, also 51.
Olivia had intended to wear her purchase at her first nonprofit Daisy Chain Fields festival in August. However, she changed her mind because the weather at Great Park in Irvine, California, was "too f****** hot".
The Drivers License singer joked: "Maybe if I do Daisy Chain in the winter, I can wear it."
The dress appeared in Julien’s Music Icons auction in May with an estimated value of $4,000 to $6,000. The winning bid reached $25,600.
It came from the personal collection of musician Tracee Mae Miller, a friend of both Meg and Jack.
Explaining the dress’s history, the auction house said: "For various photo shoots during that time, Miller shared that she and Meg would pull items from their own closets to style themselves.
"For this shoot, Miller pulled the dress directly from her closet for Meg to wear. The bodice of the dress was tailored by Miller’s mom to fit her, and the dress luckily ended up fitting Meg perfectly as well."
A fan of The White Stripes for years, Olivia has also become close friends with Jack since their first meeting in 2022.
In April, the Drop Dead singer shared that Jack had placed a message backstage ahead of her hosting appearance on NBC’s Saturday Night Live. His note read: "Kill it kid."
Discussing their friendship with The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon, 52, Olivia said: "I love Jack White. He’s, like, my hero.
"He’s the coolest guy ever. Wonderful person. Always stands up for what’s right … He sent me a text, and he’s like, 'Look up!' Like, 'Keep your head up. You’re gonna find something.'"
Meg praised Olivia in 2022, saying: "She’s very cool, very real, and very much a lover of music. She’s also introducing another set of youth to the love of vinyl records as well.
"Respect."
