Embattled American music mogul, Sean Combs, aka Diddy, has been implicated in the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur.
According to court documents obtained by the U.S. Sun, Diddy 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, name Diddy 77 times using various pseudonyms: Puffy, Puff Daddy, Puff, and his government name, Sean Combs.
They state, “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.”
In one of the transcripts, Davis reportedly testified to Diddy’s involvement in 2Pac’s murder.
When police asked Davis, “Puffy Combs….Does he play a role in this thing?…” Davis replied, “Yeah, I think he did.”
He claimed 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 a problem with Shakur after he released a diss track about him.
Prosecutors filed these 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 unclear if Diddy will be subpoenaed or indicted as part of the case.
