Tupac murder detective rekindles suspicions about Diddy's role in shooting

Speculation has reignited over Sean “Diddy” Combs’ alleged involvement in the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur.

In conversation with NewsNation On Friday, October 4, Tupac's homicide detective Sheryl McCollum claimed that “for me, this whole thing started in 1994 – when Tupac was shot for the first time.” The incident occurred at Quad Studios in New York City, where Tupac sat in the elevator while Diddy and his “40-person entourage” were in the studio.

McCollum expressed skepticism about the alleged robbery in which Tupac was shot five times, questioning why only he was targeted while Diddy's 40-man crew remained untouched.

“You don’t have to shoot someone five times to take away their jewelry,” she further noted, implying that it was an attempted murder.

That night, Tupac survived five body shots, including one to the head. Tragically, he wasn't so lucky two years later when a drive-by shooting claimed his life.

In an interview with Mood Magazine appeared to openly accuse Tupac of rapper Biggie Smalls, his label Bad Boy Records and the label's founder Diddy.

“Puffy was there, Biggie…there were like 40 n****s there. Everyone wore jewels. More jewels than me,” he mused.

He remembered limping into the studio covered in blood, but no one seemed shocked.

“Nobody came to me. “I noticed that no one was looking at me,” Pac remembers.

Tupac's murder remains unsolved, although the case was reopened with the arrest of Duane “Keefe D” Davis in 2023. Davis reportedly confessed that Diddy ordered a $1 million assassination attempt on Tupac.

This reportedly prompted Tupac's family to launch a private investigation to help them file a wrongful death lawsuit against Diddy TMZ And Page Six.

Now, the same federal agents who put Diddy behind bars for allegedly conspiring to commit sex trafficking and extortion are reportedly “gathering information” with prosecutors handling Tupac's case, the release said The sun.
