Charged Man Alleges Diddy Ordered $1M Tupac Hit

Duane “Keefe D” Davis, the only person charged in the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur, has alleged that Sean “Diddy” Combs offered a $1 million bounty for the killing of Tupac and Death Row Records founder Marion “Suge” Knight amid a fierce rivalry between Combs’ Bad Boy Records and Knight’s Death Row. These claims arise from a 2008 DEA report and subsequent court filings, where Davis recounted a meeting in Los Angeles where Combs allegedly discussed the need to handle his rivals, including Tupac. Davis, who was arrested in connection with the murder in 2023 and is awaiting trial, has asserted immunity from prior police interviews, which his defense is using to challenge the case. Combs has consistently denied any involvement in Tupac's murder and has not been officially charged by Las Vegas police, who confirmed he was never a suspect. Despite these denials, the allegations have intensified public and legal scrutiny, with recent civil lawsuits accusing Combs of orchestrating the attack and attempting to diminish Tupac's influence in the music industry. Combs is currently incarcerated on unrelated prostitution charges but remains firm in rejecting all accusations linking him to Tupac's death.
