Sean 'Diddy' Combs accused of paying $1M for Tupac Shakur's murder, new court docs reveal

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Sean 'Diddy' Combs has found himself at the center of a renewed controversy involving the murder of Tupac Shakur.

Recent court filings reveal shocking claims that Diddy allegedly paid $1 million to have Shakur assassinated. The allegations come from Duane “Keefe D” Davis, a suspect who was arrested last year in connection with the 1996 murder, as reported by All Hip Pop.

Diddy accused in Tupac’s murder

The court documents, filed on July 18, named Diddy multiple times under various aliases, including Puffy and Puff Daddy. They detail the fierce rivalry between Bad Boy Records, led by Diddy, and Death Row Records, which was run by Marion “Suge” Knight. This feud, according to the documents, allegedly provided the backdrop for the murder.

The documents allege that after the shooting, Davis traveled to New York with a Los Angeles police task force to go undercover and gather incriminating evidence against Diddy and Eric “Zip” Martin in connection with the murder.

“Task Force Detectives believed they had jurisdiction to investigate a Nevada homicide because Defendant asserted that the conspiracy to commit the murder began in California between Defendant, Eric ‘Zip’ Martin, and Sean Combs,” the docs read in part.

“Defendant (Keefe) has asserted publicly that he only told on himself and wasn’t trying to provide evidence against anyone else in his conversations with police. However, this statement belies this claim, as he suggested that Sean Combs paid Eric Von Martin a million dollars for the killings.”

In one of the transcripts, Davis reportedly alleges that he and some South Side Crips were “friends” with Diddy, who wanted Knight and Shakur dead. He also claims that the Crips drove by Shakur and Knight in Las Vegas after a Mike Tyson fight “accidentally,” and that his nephew, Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, shot at them both.

When police asked Davis if "Puffy Combs" played a role in the case, Davis replied, “Yeah, I think he did.” He claimed that Diddy told him and a group of about 45 people that he “would give anything” for Knight’s “head” because he was “scared” of Knight and had a problem with Shakur due to a diss track Shakur had released about him.

In the same transcript, Davis says that Diddy was discussed the night of the shooting, with Davis noting, “I knew we was like damn, we can get paid now.”

Davis’ statements suggest that Diddy offered substantial financial compensation for the murders, with Davis purportedly stating, "I wish I never met Puff Daddy, period." The documents also highlight that Davis has claimed Diddy was involved in discussions about the murder on the night it occurred, raising further questions about the extent of his involvement.

Prosecutors filed the documents to oppose Davis’ latest bail request. His $112,500 bail bond was rejected last month due to concerns about the source of the money—Wack 100—and whether he and Davis were attempting to sell his life story to TV producers.
