Smith’s account of the signing is that Suge Knight came to see Tupac with his lawyer, David Kenner, while Ms. Smith was also visiting Pac. Smith said Kenner needed a witness to the contract, so Pac asked Smith to sign the contract as a witness.

“It was a little crazy because—and I don’t mean this literally, but I guess, once they left, he was excited, but he did make this comment where he was like, ‘I just signed my soul to the devil”, said Smith. Desriee, commonly known as Dez, said, “It was the only person that rocked with him when everybody else that he had made money with, did business with, pretty much turned they back. Jada [Pinkett Smith] tried to get some of the money, but she didn’t have all the money to get him out of there, so, it was his relief.”

Today In Hip Hop History: Tupac Shakur Begins His Prison Sentence In Clinton Correctional Facility 23 Years Ago

On this date in 1995, famed rapper and actor Tupac Amaru Shakur became inmate #95A1140 after he was sentenced to 1 1/2 to 4 1/2 years at Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, NY on rape charges.

Shakur was convicted of first degree sexual abuse charges after a woman claimed that he and his entourage raped her during her second visit to his hotel room. She admitted that during her first visit, they had consensual sex. During his stint, ‘Pac married his longtime girlfriend Keisha Morris, but the couple divorced almost a year later.

After serving just nine months of his sentence, Shakur was released on $1.4 million bail from Clinton, which was put up by Death Row Records CEO Marion “Suge” Knight and in exchange, Shakur would put out three albums under the Death Row umbrella. Shakur was killed in Las Vegas in a drive-by shooting just one month short of his release from the New York prison.
