The Reason Why 2Pac Got Shot 5 Times

2Pac Vs The Notorious BIG Beef, Biggie - Who Shot Ya, Who shot 2Pac at the Quad Studios (Jimmy Henchman, Haitian Jack, Dexter Isaac, King Tut), Against All Odds & Holla At Me

By now, many rap fans are familiar with the 1994 shooting of rapper Tupac Shakur in New York City’s Quad Studios. The incident is what sparked the now infamous East Coast-West Coast feud after Shakur accused Diddy and Notorious B.I.G. of being involved in this setup. On his 1996 album “The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory”, Shakur penned a track titled “Against All Odds”, where he name-drops several of his adversaries including Nas, Mobb Deep, Jimmy Henchman, and Haitian Jack.

On the song, Tupac not only accuses Henchman and Haitian Jack of orchestrating the 1994 shooting, but also alleges that Jack is a government informant for the FBI.

In November 1994, Tupac was in New York, where his sentence was to be read- a lawsuit brought against him by Ayanna Jackson. Just a day before the sentence was announced the rapper had been shot five times in the lobby of Quad Recording Studios in Manhattan, New York. Contrary to the doctors’ orders, 2Pac appeared in the courtroom the next day to hear his sentence personally.

But what exactly happened on November 30, 1994, at the Quad Recordings building?

A man named Jimmy Henchman got in touch with 2Pac and offered him to record a song with a young artist named Little Shawn. Pac agreed to do the track for the sum of $ 7,000 and went at Quad Recording Studios on 723 Seventh Avenue.

However, Tupac and Little Shawn’s record never happened as Pac was shot five times in the lobby of the studio. He was a victim of an armed robbery carried out by three people, and having reached for his weapon instead of lying on the floor, Tupac received five bullets and ended up in the hospital.

It was believed that the man behind the shooting was Jimmy Henchman. Years later, he acknowledged his involvement in the shooting, and Tupac himself promised him payback in his song “Against All Odds” – “Promised a payback, Jimmy Henchman, in due time.”

In 2011, a new confession related to the shooting at Quad Recordings was made. A man named Dexter Isaac, who is currently serving a life sentence but for very different offenses, said he had received $ 2,500 from Jimmy Henchman to participate in the robbery. Dexter said he was promised to keep all of Tupac’s jewelry he could get, except for one particular ring that Henchman wanted for himself.

In the song "Holla At Me", 2Pac talks about his former close friend, Stretch, who he felt had betrayed him and helped set him up on the infamous 1994 Quad Studios shooting—an unofficial theory that was later confirmed by one of ‘Pac’s shooters.
