The Netflix docuseries, “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” has created more narratives than twists on a large roller coaster ride. Another one has been debunked when writer Toure clarified that when a video clip showing The Notorious B.I.G., aka Biggie, admitting that he fears someone will kill him was actually from an interview he had conducted years before his actual death.
In a recent TikTok video he posted to his account, Toure stated that the way the clip was introduced in the doc made it seem like the Brooklyn rapper stated those words right before he was killed in a drive-by in California on March 9, 1997. Toure says that was from an interview he did with the “Ready to Die” lyricist early in his short rap career, while he was promoting his debut album.
The doc shows that particular clip right before talking about and showing scenes from the murder scene from that fateful night.
“So I did that interview, he’s talking to me,” Touré reveals in the video clip. “The doc places this right before the Peterson Auto Museum, March 9th. But you know what? We did that interview on the first album.”
Toure explained that Biggie made those statements regarding street life, especially since he was just getting out of “the game” when his debut album dropped in 1994. It could be interpreted, the way the scene cuts to the murder scene, that it may have implied fear from Biggie being in Los Angeles right before he was killed.
“That’s him talking about the street, not the game,” Touré said. “That’s him saying, ‘I’m afraid of getting knocked off on the street.’”
“If anyone started walking up, somebody from the crew would go down with a hammer. Big said to me, ‘I am afraid, afraid of the street. But I gotta be out here. I gotta live. I gotta show ‘em my music. I gotta show ‘em I’m not afraid, but I am definitely afraid.’”
He goes on to say that the doc was slightly deceiving in how it was placed right before discussing his murder.
“But the doc makes it like that bite about his fear relates to the Big/Pac situation and his fear ahead of going to L.A. He may have been afraid because he knew he was in danger of being in L.A. in that moment, but that clip is way out of context. It’s from years earlier.”
