Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Implicated In New Allegations Over Tupac Shakur’s Assassination
In a shocking turn of events, new court documents have implicated U.S. rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in the assassination of Tupac Shakur in 1996. The documents allege that Diddy paid $1 million to orchestrate the murder of his rival. Mentioned over 75 times in the records, Diddy’s involvement has sent shockwaves through the hip-hop community.
Duane ‘Keefe D’ Davis, a key suspect apprehended last year in connection with Tupac’s murder, claimed that Diddy funded the assassination on September 7, 1996. The U.S. Sun obtained court documents revealing that pseudonyms like Puff Daddy, P Diddy, and Diddy were referenced multiple times. The first mention highlighted the existing animosity between Diddy and Tupac.
The notorious rivalry between Diddy’s Bad Boy Records on the East Coast and Tupac’s Death Row Records, led by Marion “Suge” Knight on the West Coast, was well-known in the hiphop industry. Keefe told law enforcement that Diddy paid another gangster, Eric Von Martin, to carry out the hit on Tupac. According to Keefe’s account, Diddy contacted him after hearing about Tupac’s assassination, inquiring if it was their gang or another that carried out the act. “Sean Combs reaches out to Defendant wondering if South Side Crips were responsible for Shakur’s death by asking, ‘Is that us?’” court records revealed. “Defendant, beaming with pride, answers, ‘Yes’.”
Keefe had provided this information under the belief that he had immunity from prosecution, but it has backfired and could now be used against him in court. The court filings stated, “Defendant asserted that the conspiracy to commit the murder began in California between Defendant, Eric ‘Zip’ Martin, and Sean Combs.” Keefe admitted to LA police detectives that his nephew, Orlando ‘Baby Lane’ Anderson, was the one who actually shot Tupac, narrating how his nephew “leaned over, rolled down the window, and popped them.”
Despite Keefe’s public claims that he was only incriminating himself and not trying to provide evidence against others, the court documents paint a different picture. When police questioned him, asking, “When you said paid, paid by Puffy, right?” Keefe confirmed with a “Yeah,” as shown in the court records.
Expressing his regret, Keefe lamented, “I wish I never met Puff Daddy, period. I swear to God…He messed up my life, man. I was rich, up under the radar, all that, man… it’s all gone,” highlighting the personal toll of his involvement in the conspiracy.
These explosive allegations have reignited interest in one of the most infamous murder cases in music history, casting a long shadow over Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and the unresolved mystery surrounding Tupac Shakur’s death.
