Amir Muhammad, also known as Harry Billups, is a prime suspect in the death of Biggie Smalls, so where did these theories stem from?
March 9, 2023 marks 26 years since the death of hip-hop icon Biggie Smalls. The 24-year-old rapper was killed in a drive-by shooting when leaving an afterparty at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Despite being one of the most well-known cases of celebrity death, no one has been charged for the murder of The Notorious B.I.G and the case remains officially unsolved.
Muhammad is a mortgage broker and denied any involvement
Muhammad, real name Harry Billups, was a student at the University Of Oregon, who graduated in 1984.He was last reported to be a real estate broker in Georgia by the Post.He allegedly changed his name when he joined the Nation of Islam but reportedly reversed his identity back to Billups. Muhammad denied any involvement in Biggie’s murder, claiming to the LA Times that he is “not a murderer, I’m a mortgage broker.”
The LA Times identified Muhammad as a suspect in a December 9, 1999 report, leaving him outraged as he called the story “completely false.”
“The fact is the police have never talked to me,” he responded in May 2000. “And the reason they haven’t is because I had nothing to do with this horrible crime.
“The story made it sound like I was some mystery assassin who committed this heinous crime and then just dropped off the face of the Earth – which is the furthest thing from the truth,” he added.
The case remains unsolved and there has been minimal activity for a number of years.
