In 2009, an "MTV News" article, by Rahman Dukes, headlined, "Biggie himself clears up 'Who Shot Ya' misunderstanding in this long-lost freestyle." Dukes prefaces that Lil' Cease of Biggie's group Junior M.A.F.I.A. as well as New York rap DJ and record producer Mister Cee denied it as a Tupac taunt. Dukes adds, "Hell, even Diddy"—formerely Puffy—"shot down those claims. Only the late, great B.I.G. could clear matters up, but we all know that's not possible." Still, researching for the 2009 biopic "Notorious", Dukes and coworkers found, in "a freestyle rap," "a few bars," "a bit of hard-core evidence" that Dukes merely refers listeners to judge.
