NEW HAITIAN JACK INTERVIEW THROWS JIMMY HENCHMEN BACK INTO SPOTLIGHT OF NYC 2PAC SHOOTING

TUPAC & HAITIAN JACK

The name “Haitian Jack” was infamously immortalized by Tupac on the 1996 song “Against All Odds,” including on the posthumous Makaveli LP. The man behind the name, Jacques Agnant, has never really shared his side of the story. Not until now, 20 years later in an interview with Hip-Hop Wired.

In his talk, he disputes his role in the 1994 Quad City studio shooting that left ‘Pac bullet-riddled and out for blood, setting up “Haitian Jack” and Jimmy Henchman as the men behind the incident.

On being blamed for the 1994 Quad City shooting:

“Whenever it comes to ‘Pac it feels like I’m blamed. I know who’s behind it and we’ll get into that one-day. But the person that’s behind it is serving life right now. Let me tell you man, whenever you go out of your way to get someone killed, put in jail and slander their character, all those things end up coming back to you; especially a person who has nothing against you or has done nothing to you.”

On being labeled a snitch by Tupac:

“Well it’s funny, they all want to claim that I’m linked to the government, but if I was linked to the government I would be in America [now]. That wasn’t Pac’s idea. Pac was told to say that.”

Although he doesn’t say his name, Agnant is clearly referencing Jimmy Henchman when he speaks of the person “serving life right now” since the former record exec was sentenced in 2013. He is clear about his take on Henchman, as he puts it plain words: “He is who I thought he was; a b*tch.”

The mystery of who shot Tupac in ’94 has always had so many different players either being implicated. In 2011, a convict named Dexter Isaac came forward and claimed he was paid $2,500 by Henchman to shoot ‘Pac. At one point, it was reported that Henchman admitted his role in the shooting, a claim he later denied.

While “Haitian Jack’s” latest admission won’t change history, he does provide a little more evidence that Tupac seemed to know all the players involved in his ambush.
