Snoop Dogg Arrested By Feds For 2Pac TMZ Released Gene Deal Footage Suspect Captured Near Podcast
Snoop Dogg ARRESTED by Feds for 2Pac Case After TMZ Drops Gene Deal Footage — Suspect Captured Near Podcast Studio!
The hip-hop world is in absolute chaos tonight after breaking reports claim Snoop Dogg has been taken into federal custody in connection to new evidence tied to the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur. Sources close to law enforcement say the shocking arrest came just hours after TMZ released never-before-seen footage from former Bad Boy bodyguard Gene Deal, who allegedly named Snoop in a chilling retelling of events surrounding that fateful Las Vegas night.
The footage — reportedly captured for an upcoming podcast episode — shows Deal describing “a second car” that was never part of the original police report, claiming it “wasn’t Death Row, wasn’t Bad Boy — but somebody in between.” Within hours of the clip hitting social media, federal agents were seen surrounding a Los Angeles studio where Snoop was filming a live podcast appearance. Witnesses say black SUVs blocked off the street as agents entered the building, and moments later, the legendary rapper was escorted out in handcuffs.
Fans outside the studio were stunned. “At first we thought it was a prank for his show,” one eyewitness told reporters. “Then we saw the badges — it got real fast.”
Insiders say the timing of the arrest is no coincidence. According to leaked reports, the feds have reopened the 2Pac case under a new RICO framework, focusing on the web of gang affiliations, record label rivalries, and possible cover-ups that extended deep into the entertainment industry. The Gene Deal footage, which quickly went viral, appears to have triggered a fresh wave of subpoenas and warrants.
In the clip, Deal can be heard saying:
“A lot of y’all been told lies. It wasn’t just East vs. West. It was business — big business — and some people knew too much.”
That single line has now become the center of speculation online, as fans dissect every frame of the leaked footage. Several anonymous posts have already connected the “business” Deal mentioned to alleged FBI investigations into music industry money laundering during the late ’90s.
As news spread, TMZ reportedly received a cease-and-desist letter from federal authorities demanding they take down the footage, though it remains mirrored across social media. Meanwhile, the Department of Justice has not yet released an official statement on Snoop Dogg’s arrest, only confirming that “a person of interest was detained for questioning related to ongoing investigations.”
Online, the reactions have been explosive.
“Thirty years later and it’s finally unraveling,” one fan wrote. “If Snoop’s involved, everything we thought we knew about Pac’s murder is a lie.”
But others are skeptical, calling it another publicity stunt or an overreach by desperate investigators trying to pin a case that’s haunted the LAPD for decades.
Still, the timing is undeniable — with the recent arrest of Duane “Keefe D” Davis, new court filings, and now the viral Gene Deal clip, it feels like the long-cold mystery of Tupac’s murder is finally cracking open.
For now, Snoop Dogg remains in federal custody, awaiting legal counsel and formal charges. Outside the station, crowds of fans are already gathering, chanting “Free Snoop” and demanding answers.
And as the sun sets on Los Angeles tonight, one thing is clear:
The 2Pac case isn’t just back — it’s exploding.
And this time, even hip-hop’s biggest legends aren’t untouchable.
