After years of speculation, rapper and actor, Ice Cube has addressed the conspiracy theory that Suge Knight had a hand in Eazy-E's death.
On "Impaulsive" with Logan Paul, Mike Majlak put Cube on the spot about the longstanding urban legend. The rap veteran finally opened up about the accusations surrounding N.W.A.'s late founder Eazy-E and his supposed injection with AIDS by Suge Knight.
Although Cube was initially reluctant to believe the theory, he posed some questions to ascertain its veracity.
"How would [Suge] do that?" questioned Cube. "And Eazy never tell anybody about that?"
Mike then said, "Eazy didn't even know. Cause you just poke somebody, like, and they don't even know. Maybe they were at a club or some s**t."
Ice Cube was unconvinced, voicing his doubt with the words: "Nah, I think if somebody poke you with one of them goddamn needles, you know. You know."
"I mean, I'm just saying... just say this happened, Eazy would tell somebody, 'This m*********** poked me with some s***!'"
The rapper further explained he couldn't be sure what would have happened had Eazy known he was "poked."
It is a mystery that lingers on, Ice Cube said - what exactly went down in the event of his death.
"If he didn't know he got poked, then the conspiracylives on."
With a candid reply, Ice Cube was asked whether he would consider Suge Knight responsiblefor such an inexcusable deed, having built a name as one not afraid to do whatever is necessary to achieve his goals or retaliate against those who have wronged him.
His response: "I don't put s*** past nobody."
On March 26, 1995, rap artist Eazy-E passed away at 31 due to complications associated with AIDS.
Just days before his death, he had gone public with his diagnosis in a press conference held in Hollywood. He had been admitted to the hospital weeks before due to a severe cough which revealed he had contracted the virus.
Today, the "Eazy-Duz-It" artist released a declaration via his lawyer Ron Sweeney, acknowledging that he had nurtured seven kids with six distinct women due to his promiscuous actions.
At the time of Eazy's death, there was much unrest within West Coast Hip Hop. Ruthless Records, founded by Eazy-E, and Death Row Records, led by Suge Knight and Dr. Dre, were locked in a power struggle for dominance.
Many who were close to Eazy-E, such as friends, collaborators, and family members, have openly challenged the official story surrounding his death. They believe there is more to the circumstances of his passingthan has been made public.
