AMERICAN music mogul Sean Combs (better known as Diddy) has been implicated in the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur.
According to new court documents obtained by the U.S. Sun, Diddy is accused of paying $1 million for Shakur’s assassination through suspect Duane “Keefe D” Davis, who was arrested for the murder last year.
In the documents filed on 18 July, Diddy is mentioned 77 times under various aliases including Puffy, Puff Daddy, Puff, and his legal name, Sean Combs. Davis reportedly testified that Diddy played a role in Tupac’s murder, suggesting that Diddy paid Eric Von Martin a million dollars for the killings.
Davis claimed that Diddy told him and a group of about 45 people how he “would give anything” for Knight’s “head” because he was “scared” of him and had issues with Shakur, who had released a diss track about him. Prosecutors filed these documents to oppose Davis’ latest bail request, which was rejected last month due to concerns about the source of the $112,500 bail bond.
It remains unclear whether Diddy will be subpoenaed or indicted as part of the case.
