On Monday, November 18, members of the New York Association of Black Journalists (NYABJ) attended a private screening of Tupac: Cover-Up, a documentary directed by Richard “RJ” Bond. The film presents never-before-seen footage and exclusive interviews that challenge the official narrative surrounding the 1996 murder of rap icon Tupac Shakur.
The documentary explores lingering questions about the case, culminating in an investigation that led to the arrest of a suspect 28 years later. Key figures featured in the project include former FBI Special Agent Phil Carson, Duane Keith Davis Jr., and Cynthia Horner, CEO of Right On! Magazine and a NYABJ member.
The film critically examines the prevailing theory that implicates Duane “Keefe D” Davis in Tupac’s murder, offering various perspectives, including those from Tupac's bodyguards, Frank Alexander (aka Big Frank) and Michael Moore. Director RJ Bond shared his personal journey throughout the project, revealing how his family’s private photos were leaked and the intense scrutiny he endured from those opposing his findings. As he poignantly stated, “If there was nothing to hide, they wouldn’t be doing that. ”Currently streaming on XUMO Play, Tupac: Cover-Up is expected to be available on all major streaming platforms by February 2025.
