American music star, Sean Combs, who you might know as Diddy, is now linked to the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur.
According to new documents shared by the U.S. Sun, it’s claimed that Diddy paid $1 million to a man named Duane “Keefe D” Davis to kill Tupac. Davis was arrested for this last year.
The court papers, which were filed on July 18, mention Diddy 77 times using different names like Puffy, Puff Daddy, Puff, and his real name, Sean Combs.
The papers say that Keefe D admitted to telling on himself but didn’t want to give evidence against others. Yet, it also mentions that Sean Combs supposedly gave $1 million to Eric Von Martin to carry out the killing.
One part of the court documents shows Davis saying that Diddy was involved in Tupac’s murder. When asked by police, “Did Puffy Combs play a role in this thing?…” Davis replied, “Yeah, I think he did.” He explained that Diddy told him and a group of about 45 people that he “would give anything” to get rid of Knight because he was “scared” of him and also had issues with Tupac after Tupac released a song dissing him.
The prosecutors included these documents because they do not want Keefe D to get out of jail on bail. Last month, his bail request of $112,500 was turned down because there were questions about where the money came from.
We still don’t know if Diddy will be officially called to court or charged in this case.
