One of the biggest controversies in Hip Hop may be over. Jimmy "Henchman" Rosemand (who was recently found guilty for operating a drug ring, and more recently indicted on murder), admits to setting up 2 Pac at the infamous shooting that happened at Quad Studios in 1994. This shooting fueled a lot into the East Coast/West Coast wars that led 2 the eventual shooting deaths of Notorious B.I.G. and Pac in the coming years. 2 Pac had always mentioned Jimmy "Henchmen" in Against All Odds about setting him up getting him shot.
“Rosemond secretly admitted to involvement in Tupac's ambush during one of nine “Queen For A Day” proffer sessions with the government last autumn, court transcripts show. (In such sessions, suspects under investigation choose to enter an agreement with the government to confess knowledge of certain crimes with the agreement that the information won't be used to prosecute them.) His confession unfolded as he was trying to carve out a cooperation deal that might lead to a reduced sentence, according to federal prosecutors.
“Rosemond apparently came clean about his involvement in Tupac's ambush shortly after his former best friend, Dexter Isaac, stepped forward last summer to publicly confess that he had led the attack on Shakur in 1994. Isaac released a statement on June 16, 2011 to allhiphop.com, saying it was Rosemond who had paid him to rob and pistol-whip Tupac.”
The statute of limitations on robbery is 7 years so Jimmy cannot be charged with this shooting but it does bring some more clarity into the story.
