Tupac’s brother believes Diddy wasn’t ‘honest’ about connection to 1996 murder

Tupac‘s brother has alleged that Diddy has been dishonest about his apparent lack of connection to the rapper’s murder in 1996.In September of last year, Duane “Keffe D” Davis was charged with the late rapper’s murder, 27 years after he was fatally wounded from a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas.

The former gang leader was charged with one count of murder with a deadly weapon in connection to the attack.Earlier this month, Tupac’s family began investigating Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ alleged link to his murder.

Davis had previously claimed that Combs offered him $1 million to kill Shakur. Per People, a DEA and U.S. Department of Justice report on a 2008 interview with Davis said he had claimed Combs said he “needed to get rid of [Suge] Knight and Shakur” and offered Davis the money to “handle the problem.”Combs has never been charged in connection to the murder.

Per the Guardian, in 2008, Diddy denied any connection to the shooting after an LA Times report alleged his associates, James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond and Jimmy Sabatino, helped stage a robbery of Shakur after offering the late rapper $7,000 to record a track at the studio on the night in question.“The story is a lie,” he said in a statement in response. “It is beyond ridiculous and completely false.
