The shooting occurred in 1994 at a times square recording studio. Tupac was robbed of thousands of dollars of jewellery ($40,000). Tupac claimed that Badboy had set him up. It started beef between Tupac and Badboy. On November 30th, 1994 at 12:20am, Tupac, Stretch of the Live Squad and Tupac`s manager Freddie Moore arrived at the recording studio. Tupac saw Little Caesar at the top of the building who shouted to Tupac. Tupac knew Biggie was there because he had seen little Caesar. After Tupac had entered a man at the desk got up and two men entered the building. They followed Tupac and his entourage to the elevator. Tupac thought they were security. The robbers wanted jewellery and told them to get on the floor. Tupac was annoyed and went for the gun. Tupac was shot 5 times and his manager shot once. Tupac was taken up the elevator where Puffy and Biggie were. Tupac said they acted as if they were surprised he was alive. Only little Shawn was upset. Stretch did not get shot despite him being bigger. Tupac said he got calls before the shooting asking him why he was late. The next day Tupac appeared at the sexual assault trial taken by bodyguards in a wheelchair. Tupac was later imprisoned to Rikers Island. Tupac said that in prison people told him Biggies boy did it. Later Tupac said that Badboy were responsible for the shooting. Tupac fell out with Stretch after because he became close to Badboy going to Biggies concerts. Stretch was murdered execution style in Jamaica one year to the day after the Tupac shooting. Reasons for the shooting Firstly Tupac thought he had been set up by the police because the same officers that testified against him in the sexual assault trial came to the scene of the shooting. Later Tupac changed his mind saying that Badboy set him up. It was rumoured that the Black Mafia financed Badboy, Trevor AKA King Tut said Tupac needed to be disciplined. The Black Mafia wanted Tupac to sign for Badboy but he refused. The Punishment was death for saying no. Tupac blamed Jacques Agnant AKA Haitian Jack for setting him up in the sexual assault trial. Tupac got the maximum penalty while Haitian Jack got 3 months suspended sentence. It was roumoured that Haitian Jack was a Federal informant.
