Embattled American music mogul, Sean Combs, also known as Diddy, has been implicated in the 1996 murder of iconic rapper Tupac Shakur. According to new court documents reported by the U.S. Sun, Diddy is accused of paying $1 million for Shakur’s assassination to 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. The filings reveal that Davis allegedly testified to Diddy’s involvement in the plot against Shakur.
“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 state.

During one police interview, officers asked Davis, “Puffy Combs….Does he play a role in this thing?…” to which Davis replied, “Yeah, I think he did.” Davis further recounted that Diddy, fearful of Knight and troubled by Shakur’s diss track, expressed a willingness to pay “anything” for Knight’s “head.”
Prosecutors have submitted these documents to oppose Davis’ latest bail request. Last month, Davis’ $112,500 bail bond was rejected due to concerns about the source of the funds.
As of now, it remains unclear whether Diddy will be subpoenaed or indicted in connection to this case.
