Tupac's "thug life" on trial

Friday Headlines: 
Third near miss at Sydney airport
Meta, TikTok, Youtube and Snapchat to face Social Media ban enquiry today
Penny Wong to speak on the dangers of Monoculturalism 
Popular weight loss drugs suspected links to more than 60 deaths in Australia 

Deep Dive: It's been 30 years since rapper Tupac Shakur was shot dead in the streets of Las Vegas, his death sparking three decades of conspiracies, mysteries and an enduring question: who killed him? 

Amid disappearing witnesses and a street code that made talking to police punishable by death, the case went cold. 

But in 2023 former gang boss Duane 'Keffe D' Davis was charged with Tupac's murder ... only he's not believed to have been the one to pull the trigger. 

In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou is joined by hip hop historian Michael Namikas to discuss the upcoming trial of Keffe D, but also Tupac's life, career and legacy.
