    Tupac Shakur: If I Die Tonight (Chapter One)
    Sep 24 2026
    Prosecutors alleged in their case against Duane Davis aka Keefe D that Tupac’s 1996 murder was essentially an act of gang violence. The witness testimony in Davis’ case, however. points to a much bigger conspiracy at play. Was the killing of Tupac Shakur actually the work of a powerful syndicate? In this first of three chapters, Tess takes a close look at dark foundations that seem to have led to Tupac’s untimely death. Tess interviews one of Tupac’s producers, Darryl Harper, about his own time making music with Tupac, and his own theories about what really led to that fateful night in Las Vegas.

    Mo Money Less Problems: The Diddy Files Chapter Four
    Sep 18 2026

    To unravel the business of Sean Combs is to see the ways in which his vast empire is connected to the music industry at large.


    In the past few years, two big entertainment stories stand out as exceptionally shocking and horrifying: the wrongful conservatorship of Britney Spears, and the alleged large-scale sex trafficking syndicate of Sean Diddy Combs. It’s chilling then, to consider that both the business affairs of Sean Combs and Britney Spears were handled by the same business management company: TriStar Sports and Entertainment. Who is at the helm of this mega-powerful company, and what is behind their unconventional business practices?
