Music mogul Sean Combs, also known as Diddy, is facing accusations in connection to the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur.
According to court documents filed recently, Diddy is alleged to have paid $1 million for Shakur’s assassination by suspect Duane “Keefe D” Davis.
“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 to Diddy’s involvement in 2Pac’s murder.
Police asked Davis, “Puffy Combs….Does he play a role in this thing?…” and Davis replied, “Yeah, I think he did.” Davis said 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 also had a problem with Shakur after he had released a diss track about him.
Prosecutors have mentioned Diddy by his various names, including Puffy, Puff Daddy, and Sean Combs, a total of 77 times in the papers.
While Davis’ bail request was denied over concerns about the funding source, it is unclear if Diddy will be called to testify or charged in relation to the case.
