I mean, this is something I thought of after seeing the season finale of Ozark years ago when they got Ruth, but never said anything about it or made a youtube video. It's just hard to believe that Puff didn't know with Gene Deal warning him. Once again, that's just my opinion and I never heard it from anyone, but I just believe that to be true. It's actually believable.
Where I got the info from know all the characters in this. He even know Gene, Suge, Puffy...he know all them 1st hand.
He said it wasn't a real war like we thought, but kinda morphed into a money move. On some "oh the public eating this shyt up, let's keep feeding them and making this money".
Now at the lower level, yeah the beef was taken as being real. But the people behind THEM were on both coasts and DID NOT want it to go to the point where one of the stars died.
Pac fukked it up by putting hands on a killer. Then the killer fukked it up by killing Pac. So the money play was over. Apparently it stemmed from puff offering a bounty for a deathrow chain so it fell back on puff.
