Another song that was interpreted by Shakur around this time as a diss song was "I Shot Ya (remix)", a B-side by LL Cool J that was released on his "Mr. Smith" album in 1995. Sometime in the following year of 1996, Tupac Shakur confronted featured artist Keith Murray at the California House of Blues, wanting to know if the record was a diss to him. Upon questioning, Murray made it clear that the record was not about Shakur, and has continued to reiterate this in several interviews over the following years.
