Tupac Shakur’s brother Mopreme casts doubt on Sean 'Diddy' Combs' denial of involvement in rapper's death

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tupac Shakur’s stepbrother, Mopreme Shakur, has cast doubt on Sean “Diddy” Combs’ long-standing denial of any involvement in the legendary rapper’s 1996 murder.

Speaking on Piers Morgan 'Uncensored' on Friday, October 11, Mopreme, whose real name is Maurice Shakur, said he believes Combs may not have been entirely truthful when he distanced himself from the allegations.

Decades-old rumors about Sean 'Diddy' Combs resurface

Highlighting Sean 'Diddy' Combs' denial, Mopreme said, “There’s doubt in my mind. I don’t believe it was a 100 percent honest statement.”

The former Thug Life rap group member emphasized that while Combs has denied the accusations publicly and privately, questions remain unanswered about the notorious drive-by shooting that took Tupac’s life in Las Vegas.

In 1996, Tupac was fatally shot after leaving a boxing match at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, a pivotal moment during the height of his feud with Combs and Christopher Wallace, better known as The Notorious B.I.G.

The rivalry between Tupac’s Death Row Records and Combs’ Bad Boy Records fueled speculation that Combs or his associates were involved in the killing.

Combs has long denied the accusations, notably in a now-retracted Los Angeles Times article published in 2008 when he claimed neither he nor Wallace had “any knowledge of any attack on Tupac.”

However, Mopreme remains skeptical as he stated, “We gotta find out what’s true and what’s false. What’s real and what’s fake.”

Mopreme Shakur and Sean 'Diddy' Combs' meeting raises questions

During the interview, Mopreme Shakur recalled a meeting with Sean 'Diddy' Combs in Los Angeles several years after Tupac Shakur's death.

DJ Big Boy, a prominent figure in the hip-hop community, arranged the meeting between the two where Mopreme met with Combs and a group of “thug-like guys.”

Combs once again denied any involvement in Tupac’s murder.

“[He] basically said he had nothing to do with my brother’s murder,” recalled Mopreme.

“I told him, ‘The truth is still yet to come out, so we’re going to see,’” he added.

Almost 28 years later, Mopreme now expressed his doubts about Combs’ denial, saying, “It’s kind of looking that way, in my opinion.”

New allegations and investigations against Sean 'Diddy' Combs

Despite Sean 'Diddy' Combs never being taken into custody, indicted, or charged in connection with Tupac Shakur's death, renewed scrutiny has emerged in recent months.

In July, sources revealed that Tupac’s family was considering filing a wrongful death lawsuit against Combs over his alleged involvement.

“People from Diddy’s past are coming forward and providing info,” according to a source, reports Page Six.

The case has gained momentum after Duane “Keefe D” Davis, who was recently charged with Tupac’s murder, reportedly told police that Combs paid $1 million to have Tupac killed.

Davis claimed that while he was not attempting to implicate others, he mentioned Combs’ alleged payment during conversations with law enforcement.

Former Los Angeles Police Department detective Greg Kading, who worked on Tupac’s case, detailed in his book 'Murder Rap' that Davis had confessed to Combs’ involvement.

Sheryl McCollum, Tupac’s crime scene investigator, also recently suggested on NewsNation’s Banfield that Combs may have played a role in orchestrating the murder.

As new information surfaces, Mopreme believes it is time to revisit the investigation into Tupac’s murder.

“The truth is still out there,” he noted.
