The suspect accused of allegedly orchestrating the 1996 drive-by of hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur has been denied bail by a judge in Las Vegas who cited a Nevada “slayer statute” law that prohibits convicted killers from profiting from their alleged crime. Clark County judge Carli Kierny denied Duane “Keefe D” Davis’s request for release to house arrest before the November trial, claiming he had allegedly failed to prove his bond was obtained through legal sources. The Guardian reported that Davis, 60, an alleged former Los Angeles-area gang leader with the Compton-based South Side Crips, has been held without bail since his arrest nine months ago. Davis has pleaded not guilty to the charge of alleged murder with a deadly weapon in an alleged gang-related homicide.
In more news regarding Tupac, his estate threatened legal action against Drake for use of AI vocals on “Taylor Made Freestyle”. The track is a diss aimed at Kendrick Lamar and it features vocals that were allegedly meant to sound like late Tupac Shakur, which was likely created by using artificial intelligence. The estate had asking Drake to take down the song, which the artist posted on social media to which he later complied.
