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.

Cameron Winter has remained mysterious as rumours continue that he contributed vocals to two songs from Phoebe Bridgers’ forthcoming album Lost Weekend.
The Geese frontman is believed to sing backing vocals on Kill Me and share a duet with Phoebe on I Can't Wait.
Whoever recorded the parts has been listed in the credits under the name Son-John Johnson.
When Rolling Stone asked Cameron whether he was the mystery singer, he joked: “I will need to speak with my attorney.”
The 24 year old indie musician has a highly distinctive voice, although everyone involved appears determined to maintain the mystery.
Phoebe’s album campaign has already included plenty of unexpected developments.
She recently revealed the Lost Weekend tracklist after the details reportedly appeared online ahead of schedule.
Before that, she was required to stop using her record label’s name because of a “disagreement involving the trademark.”
Sharing the confirmed list of songs on Instagram, she wrote: “Since someone already shared it online, here is the official version!
“Only 16 more days to wait!!!!!”
Lost Weekend is scheduled for release through Dead Oceans on August 14.
The Garden Song singer established the independent label Saddest Factory Records in 2020 as an imprint of Dead Oceans.
Six years later, however, she was forced to retire the name and begin issuing her artists’ releases through Dead Oceans. The Saddest Factory Records logo remains in use and features a delicate drawing of a skeleton hand holding an ordinary hand.
A message shared through the label’s Instagram account in June explained: “Following a trademark disagreement connected to our label name, every future SFR project will now be released through Dead Oceans. Our symbol will appear beside the Dead Oceans logo to show our continued participation. Follow @DeadOceans for announcements and information about the artists in our community.”
In keeping with the label’s title, its roster features emotionally expressive musicians including Charlie Hickey, Claud, Katie Gavin, Muna and Sloppy Jane.
The name itself is a humorous take on the word “satisfactory,” a term that regularly appears in recording agreements.
