In an unexpected turn of events, the family of the late rapper Tupac Shakur has launched an investigation into long-standing allegations that Sean "Diddy" Combs was involved in Shakur's murder in 1996. The family has hired a team of investigators and lawyers, including Alex Spiro and Christopher Clore, to look into claims made by Keefe D, a former gang member. Keefe D alleged in a 2009 police interview that Diddy offered him $1 million to kill both Tupac and Suge Knight, the CEO of Death Row Records, during the East Coast-West Coast rap rivalry.
Keefe D also claimed that Diddy paid half the amount to a Harlem gangster, Eric "Von Zip" Martin, following Tupac’s death. This claim was highlighted in a legal document obtained by The Sun, ahead of Keefe’s upcoming trial. Keefe claimed to have collaborated with LAPD detectives to gather evidence against Diddy and Martin.
Despite these serious claims, Diddy has consistently denied any involvement. Tupac’s family, fueled by their unwavering determination, believes there may be more to uncover and is resolute in their decision to re-examine the evidence. If they find substantial proof, they intend to pursue criminal charges.
This investigation marks a significant turn in the enduring mystery surrounding Tupac’s murder. Keefe D, who is battling cancer, is the only person ever charged in connection with Tupac’s murder in Las Vegas over two decades ago. Though he has pleaded not guilty, he confessed to involvement in the shooting in his 2019 memoir, Compton Street Legend. However, he has recently recanted those statements, claiming he was not truthful about his role in the incident.
The implications of this investigation could be profound, potentially reshaping public understanding of one of the most notorious crimes in hip-hop history. As the investigation unfolds, the world watches closely, eager for any new revelations in the quest for justice for Tupac Shakur.
