Could Sean “P Diddy” Combs be linked to Tupac Shakur’s death?

Tupac Shakur was shot four times in the chest at a stoplight in Las Vegas in September 1996. His murder remained unsolved for 27 years until a former gang leader, Duane “Keefe D” DavisHe was arrested and charged with the crime last year. So far, he is the only person charged in connection with the murder of the “California Love” rapper.

However, It has long been speculated that Sean “Diddy” Combs was, if not directly, then at least indirectly responsible for the untimely death of Tupac, who was just 25 years old at the time. Now Shakur's family has hired high-profile New York attorney Alex Spiro to investigate a possible connection to the rapper, who is currently incarcerated in a Brooklyn prison and charged with sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson and various other crimes.

Davis, who is currently in prison in Las Vegas awaiting trial, has done this before claimed that Combs was involved in planning Shakur's murder and offered him $1 million to assassinate Tupac. Additionally, Court TV reports that Marion “Suge” Knight Jr., who was in the car with Tupac and was injured in the shooting, allegedly told people this Combs was “if not directly, then indirectly responsible for the murder of his good friend.” According to a detective who testified before the grand jury that indicted Davis.

The sentiment of Suge Knight, one of the founders of Death Row Records, has been expressed by other rappers in their music. Additionally, the following year, Christopher Wallace, also known as “Notorious BIG,” was shot while driving by.

Most recently, he raps in Eminem's new song “Fuel”: “Notorious BIG's death was the domino effect of Tupac's murder, like facial tissues, whose watch should I clean next?” Puffs? “Is he going to perform until he’s in police handcuffs and guilty?” He also previously referenced Diddy giving Tupac a hit in his 2018 song “Killshot.”

The disgraced music mogul has long denied any prior knowledge or involvement in Tupac's murder.
