DJ Quik revealed his mother actually stopped him from riding with Suge Knight the night 2Pac was murdered.

Vince Staples for his next album as well as DJ Mustard,possibly for Quiks forthcoming album hes titled David Vs. Goliath (a nod to his government name David Blake). But he also reflected on the September 1996 night Tupac Shakur was ambushed at a Las Vegas intersection. Pac was shot multiple times after leaving the MGM Grand where he and Suge Knight had just caught the Mike Tyson fight. At one point in the conversation, Quik revealed his mother actually stopped him from riding with the former Death Row CEO that fateful night. My mom was so gangster, he said. She made Suge and them leave when they tried to get me to come with them to the Tyson fight that night. She said, If yall dont get away from my muthafuckin door Im gonna start blastin. Imma call the police first then shoot yall in yall muthafuckin ass. She had all the guns. A post shared by DJ QUIK (@djquik) Theres a sense DJ Quikis relieved he lived through the 90s. The West Coast-East Coast rivalry was at its peak, and rappers were dying from gun violence on a regular basis. Now, Quik can sit back and admire just how far he and his peers have come. I was just in the studio with Mustard, he said. Im so proud of him and YG. They listened to us when we were younger. And we werent the best role models. We drank and smoked weed. Now I take mushrooms I micro-dose. But Im proud of these guys: 1500 or Nothin. Rance. Brody. Terrace Martin. Kamasi Washington. Thundercat. Kendrick, Ali and Dre. Snoop just bought Death Row. He continued, The old Snoop bought the young Snoops work. He didnt let it keep changing hands with other people eating off of him. Now he can eat off of what we call his stick man his incorporation. He incorporates Death Row, he incorporates himself. He becomes the master of his destiny for his catalog, Dr. Dres catalog and 2Pacs catalog. It was the smartest thing. What better fairy-tale ending?
