Journalist Corrects Netflix on Biggie's Fear
10 Dec
Summary
- Interview clip placement by Netflix doc caused confusion.
- Biggie spoke of street dangers, not East Coast/West Coast tensions.
- Diddy allegedly canceled Biggie's UK flight amid rising tensions.
A prominent journalist has voiced concerns regarding the contextualization of a Biggie interview within a recent Netflix documentary. The clip, featuring the Brooklyn rapper discussing intense paranoia and fear for his life, was presented as relating to the period just before his murder in Los Angeles.
However, the journalist clarified that the interview, recorded in 1994 surrounding his album 'Ready to Die,' was about his fear of street dangers in Brooklyn, not conflicts within the rap industry. The documentary allegedly misrepresented this fear as being linked to the East Coast-West Coast rivalry and his impending trip to Los Angeles.
Adding to the controversy, a docuseries titled 'The Reckoning' claims Sean 'Diddy' Combs canceled Biggie's flight to the UK to promote his album 'Life After Death.' This alleged action, coupled with the miscontextualized interview, fuels ongoing debates about the circumstances surrounding the rapper's final days.
