Legendary rapper Yo-Yo recently sat down with Keisha Nicole of 97.9 The Box for an emotional conversation about her longtime friendship with Tupac Shakur and the ongoing pursuit of justice nearly 30 years after his murder.
The two Hip-Hop icons developed a close bond early in their careers, including time spent together while touring with Digital Underground. When asked about the latest developments involving Duane “Keefe D” Davis, who was charged in connection with Tupac’s 1996 murder, Yo-Yo reflected on what accountability could mean for his loved ones. “I just think that it gives the family a little closure,” she explained, acknowledging that there may still be more to the story. She also expressed frustration with individuals who have publicly profited from discussing the murder while Tupac’s family continues to grieve.
During the interview, Yo-Yo also revealed that she visited Tupac at a Las Vegas hospital in the days before his death. She recalled speaking to him, watching him move his head and looking into his eyes before saying a prayer over him. Despite the severity of his injuries, she remained convinced that her friend would recover. “I just knew he was coming home,” she shared.
