DMC of Run-DMC revealed that his group was supposed to be in the car with 2Pac the night he was shot in Las Vegas following a Mike Tyson fight he attended in 1996.
While on ‘Drink Champs,’ the legendary emcee recalled the story, noting that Suge Knight brought the group out to perform and paid for everything. “So, we get a call, it’s Suge. This a funny [Jam Master] Jay story. ‘Yo, me and ‘Pac coming to get y’all. You’re gonna ride to the fight with us.’ ‘Cause remember, who was in the car with them? Nobody was in the backseat,” said DMC.
The rapper continued, “Me, Run and Jay was supposed to be in that backseat. He calls him up and says, ‘Yo, I’m coming to get y’all. We want y’all to ride to the fight with us.'” He then said the only reason the group didn’t ride with 2Pac and Suge was that Jam Master Jay took too long to pick out his clothes. DMC noted they got paid for the show they never did in cash due to a fight breaking out and went back to where they were staying.
“So next morning, I had an afternoon flight. I’m in the gym on the treadmill and then CNN — ‘Last night in Vegas, 2Pac got shot.’ Like, ‘Oh s***, that’s why that happened',” said the rapper. Watch above.
