1994 shooting and prosecutions

On the 30th of November 1994 Tupac headed to Quad Recording Studios in Manhattan, New York to record another track with Biggie and other Bad Boy Records artists. As he entered the building, two armed men in army fatigues shot him five times; twice in head, twice in the groin and once in the arm and robbed his jewellery worth a lot of money!
Tupac was taken to the Bellevue Hospital where he was operated and three hours later, against doctor's advice, he left the hospital. Shakur accused Wallace and Combs for setting up the shooting, as they were upstairs in the building.

A few months after the shooting, Tupac Shakur got arrested and put in jail, as he was accused for sexual abuse. Let's listen to what Tupac himself though of the November 1994 shooting:


So it comes out that Tupac was serious with his theory that Biggie and P Diddy organised the shooting to rid of him, however no serious evidence was provided and the police did not intervene for Shakur's accuses.

Biggie even tried to calm Tupac down and tell the fans about this situation with his song 'Who shot ya?' released in 1995:


Unfortunately the song brought a lot of controversy and even warmed the whole situation up, as some fans took is as an offence to Tupac and thought it is a diss song!
