Controversial Comedian Credits Snoop Dogg for This Rare Opportunity
Controversial Comedian Credits Snoop Dogg for This Rare Opportunity originally appeared on Parade. Kathy Griffin is giving credit where credit is due. In this case, it goes to Snoop Dogg for complimenting her humor in a move that landed her a music video gig. The controversial comedian opened up on TikTok about her brief appearance in Eminem's 2000 music video for the superhit "The Real Slim Shady." In it, Griffin plays the nurse at the very beginning of the video who grabs the microphone and says (in Eminem's voice), "May I have your attention please?" Griffin started by sharing that she was initially offered $500 to appear in the video but countered, asking for $10,000, and surprisingly, she still got the gig! 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 "The video was directed by a guy named Gary Gray and another guy named Dr. Dre, perhaps you've heard of him," Griffin quipped. She went on to describe how the directors told her to do things like "rough him up" as she acted out her tough nurse role while "wrangling in" Eminem for the music video. Then she described introducing herself to Eminem, calling him "very professional and very nice." "Eventually, I got the nerve to go up to Dr. Dre and just say, 'This is really really fun! What made you think of me for this role?" She claims Dr. Dre told her, "Snoop said you're funny." "Yeah, I got the job from Snoop, cuz I had done another gig with Snoop Dogg, and he was really fun, and he played along with this joke, and Snoop got me the gig." Griffin explained.

Suge Knight says Tupac begged for death and friends smoked his ashes
Marion 'Suge' Knight, the embattled former CEO of Death Row Records, has come forward with bombshell claims about the death of rapper Tupac Shakur, revealing in a new jailhouse interview that Shakur asked to be killed in the hospital after being shot — and that his friends later smoked his cremated remains. Knight, 60, the only living witness to Shakur's final hours, recounted the chaotic night of Sept. 7, 1996, when their black BMW came under fire in a drive-by shooting near the Las Vegas Strip. After the pair were rushed to the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, Knight said Shakur, fearing prosecution for a gang-related assault earlier that night, begged to be killed. 'Kill me. Shoot me,' Shakur allegedly pleaded, according to Knight's interview with People. Shakur's mother, Afeni Shakur, a former Black Panther, allegedly gave her son pills to ease his suffering, Knight claimed. When doctors attempted to revive him, Knight says she intervened: 'Don't ever do that again ... Let him go.' Shakur was declared dead six days later, on Sept. 13. According to Knight, Afeni insisted on an immediate cremation. He paid $1 million in cash to have it done. That same night, in what Knight described as a symbolic tribute, several of Shakur's close friends allegedly rolled his ashes into a blunt and smoked them. Knight, on probation at the time, says he abstained. Despite a tumultuous music career that spanned just five years, Shakur made an indelible mark on the world of hip-hop. He sold more than 75 million records worldwide, including the diamond-certified album 'All Eyez on Me,' which included the hits 'California Love (Remix),' 'I Ain't Mad at Cha' and 'How Do U Want It.' He also found success as an actor, starring in the films 'Poetic Justice,' 'Juice' and 'Above the Rim.' Although Shakur was born in New York and spent his youth in Baltimore and Marin City, he credited Oakland with launching his music career after he connected with the East Bay rap outfit Digital Underground. In 2023, the Oakland City Council unanimously approved the renaming of a section of MacArthur Boulevard to Tupac Shakur Way in honor of the rapper. In 2016, the city also issued a proclamation naming June 16 as Tupac Shakur Day. 'I give all my love to Oakland, if I'ma claim somewhere I'ma claim Oakland, even if I don't live there,' Shakur said in a 1993 interview. The new revelations come amid renewed scrutiny over Shakur's killing. He has claimed Sean 'Diddy' Combs ordered the hit, an allegation Combs has repeatedly denied and which authorities say has never led to Combs being considered a suspect. Afeni Shakur died at the age of 69 on May 2, 2016. The cause was believed to be cardiac arrest, according to the Marin County Sheriff's Office. Nearly 30 years after the shooting, Knight says he still can't bring himself to listen to Tupac's music. 'It was a part of me that changed my life forever,' he said. 'When Pac died, I saw the whole sky turn a reddish orange.'

Tupac's friends and family smoked his ashes hours after his death, Suge Knight claims
Tupac Shakur's closest friends and family rolled the rapper's cremated ashes into a blunt and smoked it just hours after he died, his pal Suge Knight sensationally claimed in a new interview. The former Death Row Records CEO told People on Tuesday that he coughed up $1 million in cash to have the slain rapper immediately cremated so the bizarre ritual could take place — and because he was so terrified of Shakur's mom. 'A bag with his ashes was passed around,' Knight said. 'His homies rolled him up. They smoked him. Advertisement 4 Tupac Shakur was shot and killed on September 13, 1996. Getty Images 4 Former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight is currently serving a prison sentence. Getty Images 'You gotta understand, that's what made sense. It was symbolic. It's like… you keep part of him,' he added. Advertisement Knight — who was behind the wheel when Shakur was shot dead in the passenger seat — claimed he was the only one who didn't partake. 'I was so happy to say I was on probation — I couldn't smoke,' Knight said. 'I told his mother, 'Moms, I'd love to, but if I hit that, I'll get in trouble.'. I was probably the only one who didn't hit him.' 4 Tupac Shakur was 26 years old at the time of his death. Getty Images Advertisement Knight, who is currently serving time in California for manslaughter, said he paid a huge sum to have his pal cremated because Shakur's mom, Afeni Shakur, demanded it just moments after he was pronounced dead. 'She came up to me and said, 'Get it done. Now,'' Knight recalled. He said he hesitated because Shakur had told him just weeks earlier that he didn't want to be cremated. 'He told me, 'When I go, I want every rapper at my funeral to grab the mic. I want them to kiss me head to toe. Just like in 'Life Goes On.'' Knight said. 'He didn't want to be cremated.'

BEI/REX/Shutterstock After telling his mom he didn't think he could make the cremation happen so soon, Knight said the rapper's grieving mom 'gave me one of those mama looks, like, 'Shut your a– up and do what I said.'' 'Then she started cussing me out. 'Get this sh-t done!'' Knight said, adding, 'I paid someone a million dollars cash to take care of it.'
