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.

Stagecoach Festival was temporarily cleared Saturday night after strong winds pushed organizers to pause performances and evacuate the grounds, leading to major changes in the evening schedule, including the removal of Journey from the lineup.
Following the interruption, revised set times released by the festival confirmed that Journey, who had been set to take the Mustang Stage, would no longer perform that night.

Headliner Lainey Wilson is now scheduled to take the Mane Stage an hour later than planned, with a new start time of 10:30 p.m., while Riley Green has also been pulled from the evening lineup.
Further updates saw Pitbull move his late night Mustang Stage performance from an 11 p.m. slot to midnight, running until 1 a.m., while Gavin Adcock, whose earlier set was cut short, is now set to appear during the Whiskey Jam All Star Sing Along inside the Palomino Tent later in the night.
The evacuation followed escalating winds sweeping through the Empire Polo Club in Indio, where the festival takes place. Screens across the venue displayed an emergency evacuation notice instructing attendees to move quickly and calmly to the nearest exit, while push alerts from the official app advised festivalgoers to leave the grounds.
The disruption impacted several stages, including the Mane Stage, which was between performances when the alert was issued. Wind conditions had been intensifying throughout the day, with stronger gusts arriving in the evening under a regional advisory.
Billboard’s Jessica Nicholson, who was on site, described what happened at the Palomino Stage, where Adcock’s set was brought to a stop.
“I was at the Palomino Stage when they stopped Gavin Adcock’s show,” Nicholson said. “The screens on either side of the Palomino stage lit up red and had a message that said ‘Stage Area Closed, please keep away from this area,’ then it later said to evacuate the area.”
Footage shared by attendees showed large groups leaving the venue, though the scene remained orderly as people made their way toward exits.
Stagecoach later confirmed on social media that the event would resume shortly, saying it was working to reopen the site safely before welcoming fans back inside later that night. Updated set times were then posted across its social platforms to reflect the changes.
Stagecoach, one of the biggest country music festivals in the United States, takes place each year at the same location as the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and attracts tens of thousands of fans.
