why would his CLOSEST ROADDOG fall out?
You're thinking of STRETCH.
Syke was a member of Thug Life from the start and is still down to this day having appeared on several Outlawz albums, 2pac albums and even recording several tributes. (Keep Em Runnin)
Stretch was 2pac's homie from Digital Underground days, him and his brother Majesty were The Live Squad. They recorded a few songs together with pac, but Stretch recorded at least 2 dozen songs with Pac, as well as produced several. One of his closest homies, even present at the NY Shooting. He didn't visit Pac in jail, and Pac attacked him in the February 1995 Vibe interview. He produced "Take It In Blood" on Nas 1996 "It Was Wirtten" but was murdered on Nov. 30 1995 (One year after the NY Shooting) "Rest his head, switched sides guess his new friends wanted him dead"
