Sean Combs, aka Diddy, Linked to 1996 Tupac Shakur Murder in Court Documents

Embattled American music mogul Sean Combs, also known as Diddy, has been implicated in the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur.

According to new court documents reported by the U.S. Sun, the Bad Boy Records boss is accused of paying $1 million for Shakur’s assassination by suspect Duane “Keefe D” Davis, who was arrested for the murder last year.

The documents, filed on Thursday (July 18), mention Diddy 77 times under various pseudonyms including Puffy, Puff Daddy, Puff, and his legal name, Sean Combs.

“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,” the documents read in part.

In one of the transcripts, Davis reportedly testified about Diddy’s involvement in 2Pac’s murder.

When police asked Davis if “Puffy Combs…plays a role in this thing,” Davis replied, “Yeah, I think he did.”

Davis stated that Diddy expressed his willingness to pay for Suge Knight’s “head” because he was “scared” of Knight and had issues with Shakur after a diss track.

Prosecutors filed the documents to oppose Davis’ latest bail request. His $112,500 bail bond was rejected last month due to concerns about the source of the money.

It remains uncertain if Diddy will be subpoenaed or indicted in connection with the case.
