AceShowbiz - More than two decades after The Notorious B.I.G. a.k.a. Biggie was killed, the case has never been solved. Now, a new theory may have arisen following Sean "P. Diddy" Combs' ex-bodyguard Gene Deal's conversation with Mase.
In an episode of his YouTube show, Gene made a shocking claim that Mase might have been involved in the murder of the "Mo Money Mo Problems" hitmaker. Mase then called into Gene's YouTube show, calling him a liar. The Florida-born star said Gene used to be an upstanding guy, but now he's lying for ratings and YouTube clicks.
Gene, who was with Diddy the night Biggie got shot and killed, confronted Mase about his alleged suspicious behavior that night. The former bodyguard asked the 44-year-old rapper why he did not go to the party and hang with Biggie and Diddy, suggesting that Mase might know there was going to be a shooting so he stayed away from it.
Mase claimed that he was in a hotel room with R&B singer Brandy, whom he was dating at the time. Gene refused to believe him, claiming that Mase previously told him that Brandy wanted to go to the party, but it was Mase who didn't wanna go.
They continued to go back and forth until Mase hung up the phone.
The Notorious B.I.G. was struck with multiple bullets in the shooting on early March 9, 1997. He was rushed him to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, but he was pronounced dead at 1:15 A.M. He was 24 years old.
The shooter, who was described as an African-American man dressed in a blue suit and bow tie, was never arrested. In 2006, retired LAPD detective Greg Kading alleged that the rapper was shot by Wardell "Poochie" Fouse, an associate of Suge Knight, who died on July 24. Greg suggested that Suge hired Poochie to kill Biggie to avenge the death of Tupac Shakur, who, Greg believed, was killed under the orders of Diddy.
