O.J. Simpson In Shocking Confession: âI Shot Tupac Shakurâ
Â During an interview with a BBC News affiliate earlier this week, 67-year-old O.J. Simpson shockingly confessed â Â not to the murders of Nicole Brown-Simpson and Ron Goldman, but to the shooting death of deceased, iconic rap superstar Tupac Shakur, who was shot multiple times in a drive-by shooting on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.Peter Reddington, a BBC journalist, traveled to Lovelock, Nevada earlier this month for a special one-on-one interview with O.J. Simpson at Lovelock Correctional Center, the prison in which Simpson is serving a thirty-three year sentence for crimes of robbery and kidnapping he committed in 2007.âThe interview was going as well as could be expected,â Reddington said. âI began to prod at the olâ boy about whether or not he killed Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. At first he just sat there, like a lost boy on his bum, silent and mysteriously.â Redding said that itÂ was shortly after those questions when Simpson began to get very talkative.âHe looked at me intently for several minutes, then out of nowhere he said, âIâll tell you who I killed. it wasnât Nicole and it wasnât Ron Goldman. I shot Tupac that night in Las Vegas!Â It was me!â Â I was absolutely flabbergasted and asked him if he was yanking my chain. He then got very angry, and said he wasnât proud of it but he did it. He looked me right in the eye and said he had lost several thousand dollars because he had bet that Bruce Seldon would defeat Mike Tyson in their boxing match, he said that he was embarrassed because Tyson won by a first round knockout in less than two minutes, and that he and Shakur had somewhat of a feud earlier in the night.âSimpson explained how he followed Shakur and rapper Suge Knight as they left a Las Vegas casino.Â âI followed the two thugs, I figured Iâd do the planet a favor by taking out those wanna-be gangsters. Yes, I did it. Thatâs the only person Iâve ever killed. I didnât hurt Ron or Nicole at all. On the other hand, you can read all about how IÂ wouldÂ have killed my wife in my book,Â If I Did It,Â available now through Amazon and at bookstores everywhere.âSimpson is currently serving a thirty-three year sentence with possibility of parole in 2017. Las Vegas police have decided no to re-opened the Shakur investigation, saying that itâs ânot possibleâ that Simpson actually committed the crime, but would give no further details.Â
