Following the announcement that a brand-new documentary series, “Tupac: Cover Up,” would be premiering on September 13, 2024, the late rapper’s death anniversary, a terrified number of people started calling large platforms and fabricating information about the program in an effort to have it pulled from the air.
Indeed, after reaching out to the creators of the docuseries, one of the platforms made an extraordinary demand: “Remove certain content, or we will remove the documentary.”
To understand why some groups are putting pressure on these platforms to silence the filmmakers, one need only watch the entire docuseries, which is currently available on XUMO PLAY. The documentary centers on the life and death of Grammy-winning artist Tupac Shakur, as well as the events that followed the unsolved shooting. The show asserts that from five minutes after the shooting until the charges were returned by a grand jury in Las Vegas, Nevada, last year, a group of self-serving people—some of whom were allegedly federal government informants—carefully planted and cultivated a 27-year narrative that, in reality, has no tangible evidence attached to it, only “hood lore” that they have continued.
“Tupac: Coverup” includes previously unreleased audio from former Tupac bodyguards, friends, and family, as well as previously unheard interviews with celebrities (Mykelti Williamson, of Heat and Forrest Gump fame), Death Row Insiders (Kevin Black, Mike Nixon), Industry Insiders (Billy Johnson, Jr., Cynthia Horner, Janie Jennings), and Law Enforcement (FBI Special Agent Phil Carson, who leads the Tupac/Biggie investigations for the FBI). The movie’s producer is Edna Sims, and its executive producer is Athena Bond.
Producer Richard “RJ” Bond, who is best known for his work on the acclaimed “Tupac Assassination” trilogy of films and 2020’s “Last Man Standing,” says, “We have had documented communications with the platforms showing that individuals with—let’s say—clear conflicts of interest didn’t follow the platform procedures for making claims against a show.”
“They performed foolish antics, such as yelling at the incompetent agent on the phone when they called the platform’s customer support departments. In the “squeaky wheel” society of today, excessive behavior and speech are prized. The platforms don’t always wish to uphold the rights to free speech and expression. Everyone is affected greatly by this type of “consumer terrorism” and the repression that follows.

The decision to include or exclude the story, which has garnered remarkable feedback from viewers who watched an estimated 400,000 minutes of “Tupac: Cover Up” on its premiere date, was made by the show’s creators last week. Or do they adjust for political correctness in order to appease radicalized individuals?
Let’s examine Tupac’s perspective on pressure. He attacked C Delores Tucker and the government as a whole for attempting to stifle his speech. How could we pay tribute to him if we muffled opinions in order to fit a convenient, widely accepted story? Bond continued.
Bond has assembled an explosive list of former FBI agents, former members of the Vegas law enforcement, Death Row “insiders,” and prominent figures in the music business who provide reliable and incriminating evidence on the motivations behind the “False Narrative.” “Tupac: Cover Up” shows how weak the Vegas case is by utilizing grand jury evidence, police files from Vegas, and impeachable statements. For those with less-than-clean agendas, this is an issue.
Following the release of the documentary, I received communication from the relatives of Mr. Davis, the individual accused of killing Shakur. They believe we sufficiently handled the issue, and it seems sense that they are interested in the talking points of the show. I purposely waited to talk with his defense team until the show’s premiere, and I hope to have improved communication with them.
What about the documentary series?
“We decided to collaborate with Comcast and Charter networks’ new internet streaming company, Xumo. Bond stated, “Xumo understood the situation immediately, saw the ridiculousness, and agreed to keep the show exactly as it was and not compromise our artistic vision.”
“It’s time to confront the bullies who use extreme rhetoric and threats to control the media.”
