As the group were leaving the arena, a member of the group allegedly whispered to Tupac that he had recognised a man in the lobby as someone who had robbed him.
The man was also reportedly a member of the Southside Crips, a rival gang of the Bloods.
In a 2016 documentary by Final 24, Tupac’s bodyguard at the time, Frank Alexander, claimed that the star was the first to begin beating the man but the rest of the Death Row entourage soon joined in.
As Tupac was his priority, Alexander grabbed the rapper from the struggle and the group safely made it back to the Las Vegas hotel room to change for his performance later that night.
Tupac had brought his cousin, Jamala Lesane and his girlfriend at the time, Kidada Ann Jones, who were to stay in the hotel room the entire night.
