New court documents have brought rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs into further controversy by claiming he paid $1 million to have Tupac Shakur killed in 1996.
In these documents, Mr. Combs’ name appears more than 75 times. Key suspect Duane ‘Keefe D’ Davis, who was arrested last year in connection with Tupac’s murder investigation, stated that Diddy financed the assassination of Tupac on September 7, 1996.
These details were revealed in court documents obtained by U.S. Sun.
The documents mention various aliases used by Diddy such as Puff Daddy, P Diddy, and Diddy. They also indicate a long-standing rivalry between Diddy’s Bad Boy Records on the East Coast and Tupac’s Death Row Records on the West Coast, owned by Marion “Suge” Knight.
According to Keefe’s account, Diddy allegedly paid $1 million to a gangster named Eric Von Martin to carry out Tupac’s murder.
In conversations with law enforcement, Keefe initially thought he had immunity from prosecution but his statements could now be used against him.
Keefe admitted that the plan to kill Tupac was hatched in California involving himself, Eric ‘Zip’ Martin, and Sean Combs, as per court filings.
He also detailed how his nephew Orlando ‘Baby Lane’ Anderson was involved in the shooting of Tupac.
Court records show that Keefe mentioned Sean Combs as the one who paid for the murder, despite Keefe’s later claims that he only intended to incriminate himself and not others.
When questioned by police, Keefe confirmed that it was “Puffy” who paid for the killing.
In court records, Keefe expressed regret over his involvement, saying meeting Puff Daddy had ruined his life.
