In early November 1994, Tupac, at a nightclub with his most recent costar, Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke, met Rourke's friend A. J. Benza, a reporter whereby Tupac's gripes about his former codefendant Haitian Jack promptly appeared in New York's "Daily News". Word rapidly spread that Tupac would be punished. Jimmy Henchman would call the Quad attack "discipline." For the November 1993 felony case and the November 1994 robbery, Tupac would blame Haitian Jack and Jimmy Henchman. Depicted as the robbery's mastermind, Henchman would allege that Tupac "makes a situation to sell records, to become that dude who is that force." Amid persistent rumors of his guilt, Henchman would tenaciously assert innocence. Arguing that Tupac's vendetta was theatrics to sell records, Henchman recalled ordering Tupac to stop blaming Biggie and Puffy, who "ain't got nothing to do with this." And since Tupac and Puffy both held the gunmen's identifies as shared, open, street knowledge, Puffy accused Tupac of "using niggas as scapegoats."
