Former Death Row Records artist Helecia “SKG” Choyce is denying that she works with Duane “Keffe D” Davis—even as her latest courthouse coverage includes an interview with his son.

The new development adds important context to SKG’s dispute with Suge Knight. It creates an optics question, but interviewing a defendant’s relative as part of trial coverage is not, by itself, evidence that a journalist or content creator works for the defendant.

“Suge went on TMZ and lied on me, claiming that I’m working with Keefe D,” SKG wrote on Instagram. “That’s simply not true.”

SKG Interviews Keefe D’s Son After Court

In a newly published video, SKG interviews Keefe D’s son following a day of jury selection in Las Vegas.

During the interview, the son describes Davis as an active and loving father who taught him about life and football. He also says his father “wouldn’t hurt a fly.”

SKG’s caption says the conversation occurred after an emotional day inside the courtroom. She reports watching jury selection while seated near members of the Shakur family and has also shared coverage featuring Tupac’s relatives.

The interview gives viewers a clearer picture of what Knight may have been reacting to when SKG says he accused her of working with Davis. However, it does not establish a formal relationship between SKG and the defendant, his lawyers or his family.

Speaking with people connected to opposing sides of a criminal trial can be part of covering the proceeding. The key distinction is whether SKG is simply interviewing available participants or coordinating with one side—a connection for which no public evidence has been presented.

Suge Knight Discusses the Tupac Murder Trial

Knight recently appeared on TMZ Live and argued that Keefe D was not the only person involved in Tupac Shakur’s killing.

Knight described the 1996 shooting as an “assassination” and claimed that other people played roles, although he declined to identify them. He also argued that Davis damaged his own defense through years of interviews, podcast appearances and statements about the case. TMZ reported Knight’s comments.

Davis has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors allege that he orchestrated the attack and supplied the weapon, although they do not accuse him of firing the fatal shots.

Knight was driving the BMW when Tupac was shot near Flamingo Road and Koval Lane in Las Vegas. He remains a possible witness but has repeatedly said he does not want to testify for either side. ABC News reported that Knight told prosecutors and the defense to leave him out of the trial.

SKG Previously Warned That Suge “Can Be Messy”

The public disagreement comes shortly after SKG discussed Knight during an exclusive WorldWide Entertainment TV Media interview.

Asked what outsiders misunderstand about Knight and the environment surrounding Death Row Records, SKG said he could use “divide and conquer” tactics and described some of the resulting dynamics as “messy.”

Her assessment was not entirely negative. SKG also credited Knight with ensuring that her contribution remained on Tupac’s posthumous Until the End of Time album. She said she remains grateful for the opportunity despite the complicated experiences surrounding her time in the Death Row orbit.

Coverage or Collaboration?

The new interview makes that the central question.

SKG is visibly interacting with Keefe D’s son, but her published coverage also places her beside Tupac’s family. That supports her description of the work as courthouse reporting rather than proof that she has aligned herself with the defendant.

Knight’s alleged characterization and SKG’s denial should both be presented as claims unless additional evidence emerges.

The timing nevertheless gives the dispute greater relevance. Nearly three decades after Tupac’s death, the trial is reopening relationships, accusations and divisions connected to the Death Row era—and the people covering the proceedings are now becoming part of the story themselves.
