Court documents allege rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs paid $1 million for Tupac Shakur's assassination in 1996, revealing details of the East Coast-West Coast hip-hop rivalry. Key suspect Duane "Keefe D" Davis implicates Diddy in the murder plot, potentially altering Diddy's legacy and impacting the music industry.
In a stunning revelation, newly unsealed court documents have implicated U.S. rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs in the assassination of Tupac Shakur, alleging he paid $1 million for the hit. The documents, filed on July 18, mention Combs over 75 times, citing statements from key suspect Duane "Keefe D" Davis. Keefe, apprehended last year in connection with Tupac's murder, claimed that Diddy funded the assassination carried out on September 7, 1996.
The rivalry between Diddy's Bad Boy Records on the East Coast and Tupac's Death Row Records, owned by Marion "Suge" Knight, was well-known in the hip-hop community.
Keefe alleged that after Tupac's death, Diddy inquired if his associates were responsible, to which Keefe confirmed. Keefe's testimony, initially believed to be under immunity, could now be used against him.
The court records also detail Keefe's admission to the involvement of his nephew Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson in the shooting. The implications of these revelations could profoundly impact Diddy's legacy and the hip-hop industry at large.
