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.

Danny Bretherton will not be joining the European leg of December 10's upcoming tour.
The 17 year old singer recently announced that he was "taking some time out" from the band, which rose to fame on Simon Cowell's Netflix series The Next Act. As a result, he is not expected to take part in the group's European dates for the December 10: The Next Step tour.
A source close to the band told The Sun newspaper: "Danny is taking his mental health and wellbeing seriously, which is why he’s taking a break at this time.
"The band are fully supportive of this, and for now they’re focused on delivering the best shows possible for their fans on their first European tour."
December 10 are due to kick off the tour with a performance in Amsterdam on Friday (26.06.26).
Last week, the band confirmed that Danny was "taking some time out" so he could focus on his mental health and get the support he needs.
The announcement followed criticism he had received online over claims that he made inappropriate comments in the past.
A statement from the band read: "Danny’s taking some time out at the moment and we’re all respecting that.
"One thing we’ve always spoken about as a band is the importance of looking after your mental health and getting support when you need it.
"Right now, that’s what Danny is focusing on.
"He’s our friend and we care about him, so we’re supporting him and giving him the space and privacy he needs."
Fans began questioning whether Danny had left the group after he was absent from recent promotional photos featuring fellow members Nicolas Alves, Josh Olliver, Hendrik Christoffersen, Sean Hayden, John Fadare and Cruz Lee Ojo.
Danny later addressed both the speculation surrounding his future with the band and the criticism aimed at him in a video posted on TikTok.
He said: "Looking back at some of my actions, I understand why this has caused upset and hurt and for that, I am truly sorry.
"I didn’t think enough about how my behaviour might affect other people."
Danny recently spoke about Simon, describing him as an excellent mentor for the band.
He told ContactMusic.com: "We talk to him a lot. We were all at his house the other day for a barbecue chilling but also talking about the next steps that we’re going to go through. We couldn’t ask for anyone better to guide use what we’re going through at the minute."
