American music mogul and business tycoon, Sean Combs, widely known as 'Diddy', has been implicated in the 1996 assassination of rapper Tupac Shakur, according to newly surfaced court documents. The documents allege that Diddy paid $1 million to Duane Davis, also known as Keefe D, for carrying out the murder.
Duane Davis, who was arrested in 2023 for his involvement in Tupac's murder, is a key figure in the unfolding case. According to a report by the U.S. Sun, the court papers filed on July 18, 2024, mention Diddy 77 times under various names, including Puffy, Puff Daddy, Puff, and his legal name, Sean Combs.
In a portion of the documents, it is stated that "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."
Davis reportedly testified to Diddy's direct involvement in the killing of 2Pac. During one of the police interrogations, when asked about Diddy's involvement, Davis responded, “Yeah, I think he did.” Davis further elaborated that Diddy had expressed a desire to see Death Row Records co-founder Suge Knight dead, reportedly saying he “would give anything” for Knight’s head due to fear of him and a dispute with Shakur, who had released a diss track targeting Diddy.
These documents were submitted by prosecutors as part of their efforts to block Davis' latest bail request. His previous $112,500 bail bond was denied due to concerns over the source of the funds. While the case continues to unfold, it remains unclear whether Sean Combs will face a subpoena or formal charges in relation to Tupac’s assassination.
