Jermaine Dupri Says He Almost Got In The Car With Biggie On Night of Murder

Jermaine Dupri said he almost got into the truck with The Notorious B.I.G on the night the Brooklyn rapper was killed in Los Angeles in 1997.

"Everybody was there, it was like a party," said Dupri, who just clarified his statement about female MCs rapping like strippers. "Everybody was at this afterparty in L.A. and me and Big we just had a great relationship so we was just talking before the party was over. He was talking about going to this Outkast party. Once you was his friend, he was just looking out for you, always. We came outside [and] his truck pulled up."

"I was still waiting for my truck and he didn't want me to stand outside and wait until my car came," he added. "He wasn't going to leave me just standing out there, so he was like jump in. As I was getting in, my truck pulled up. So it's like that, that moment. It could've been, wow."

Dupri isn't the only celeb who thinks about Biggie's untimely death what could have been. Shaquille O'Neal believes if he didn't miss the afterparty by oversleeping he would have been hanging out with Big, and the shooters would have decided not to fire.
