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.

Robbie Williams has released an updated edition of the Official FIFA Anthem ‘Desire’ before the World Cup Final, teaming up with Nicole Scherzinger and Laura Pausini for the new recording.
The singer was appointed the official Music Ambassador for football’s international governing body last summer. Soon afterwards, he released the single alongside Laura Pausini, making it the first official FIFA anthem in history.
Williams and Pausini debuted the track live last July before Chelsea faced Paris Saint Germain at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Williams later performed it with Scherzinger at the Final Draw for the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Williams has now unveiled a fresh edition of the song before appearing at the closing ceremony for the 2026 World Cup. Unlike the original recording, which only included Williams and Pausini, this version also welcomes the Pussycat Dolls singer. All three artists take turns singing before combining their voices during the emotional chorus.
The trio will deliver their first live performance of the song together during Sunday’s closing ceremony on July 19.
UK viewers can follow the event on BBC One. It will take place at New York New Jersey Stadium shortly before Spain face Argentina. Post Malone, Tom Cruise and Jennifer Hudson are also scheduled to appear, with around two billion viewers worldwide expected to tune in.
Shakira and Burna Boy helped launch the tournament’s opening ceremony last month by performing ‘Dai Dai’. Future, Katy Perry, Michael Bublé, Alanis Morissette and Ellie Goulding have also appeared throughout the competition. Goulding performed before England defeated Norway 2 to 1 in the quarter finals.
Sunday’s World Cup final will also introduce the tournament’s first Halftime Show alongside the closing ceremony. Coldplay singer Chris Martin organised the performance, which will follow a format similar to the Super Bowl and include appearances from Justin Bieber, Madonna, Shakira and BTS.
The occasion will benefit the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which hopes to generate $100 million, or £74.5 million, to improve access to education and football for children around the world.
However, the decision to add a Halftime Show has divided supporters. The Cure frontman Robert Smith is among its critics, posting the hashtag “#pleasejustfuckoff” on Instagram before later commenting on the possibility of Donald Trump presenting the trophy to the champions.
Before Spain and Argentina meet in Sunday’s final, England and France will compete for third place tomorrow, Saturday July 18.
Williams also has other connections to football beyond his work on the FIFA anthem. Last month, he was announced as Port Vale FC’s Foundation Ambassador and official front of shirt partner.
The pop star has supported the club throughout his life and agreed to a two year partnership. His ‘RW’ logo will appear on the front of Port Vale’s home and away kits during the 2026/27 and 2027/28 seasons.
