Tupac’s Suspected Killer Claims Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Offered Him $1 Million To Kill Rapper

Since Tupac Shakur’s death, many people have tried to link Sean “Diddy” Combs to the murder. Tupac himself believed that Diddy was somehow complicit in a shooting that injured him in 1994. Diddy has always denied these allegations, but the rapper’s alleged killer has long linked him to Tupac’s death. Duane “Keefe D” Davis has claimed that Diddy offered him a large sum of money to shoot Tupac.

Tupac’s Suspected Killer Claims Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Played Role in Rapper’s Death

Diddy met Davis through a friend and they quickly formed a working relationship. When Diddy and his Bad Boy artists toured the West Coast, Davis offered to provide security for them. According to Davis, however, Diddy had other work in mind.

In 1995, Davis claimed that Diddy told him he wanted “the heads of these guys” during a conversation about Tupac and Suge Knight. While he did not directly ask anyone to kill them, Davis believed Diddy’s intentions were clear. He later claimed that Diddy offered him $1 million to carry out the hit. Davis said he accepted and would have done it for as little as $50,000.

“Dude, we’re gonna kick their ass quick,” he remembers telling Diddy.

In 1996, Tupac died in a drive-by shooting. Police arrested Davis in 2023.

Tupac Believed Sean “Diddy” Combs Was Involved in Earlier Shooting

Three years before his death, Tupac survived another shooting. He was outside Quad Studios in Times Square when three men began shooting at him, in what he initially believed was a robbery. When the men fled, Tupac entered the studio. He said the sight of the group of people inside “scared the hell out of him.” He believed they had something to do with the shooting.

“Nobody approached me. I noticed nobody was looking at me,” he told Vibe magazine. “Andre Harrell wasn’t looking at me. I had been to dinner with him the last few days. He had invited me to the set of New York Undercovertelling me he was going to find me a job. Puffy was also standing back. knew Puffy. He knew everything I did for Biggie before he came out.

He vehemently denies these accusations.

Although investigators were aware of Davis’ accusations, they never charged Diddy in connection with the murder. Diddy has always denied having anything to do with Tupac’s death.

“This story is beyond ridiculous and completely false,” Combs told AllHipHop.com after a now-retracted LA Times article linked him to the crime. “Neither Biggie nor I had any knowledge of any attack before, during or after it happened. It’s a complete lie to suggest that Biggie or I were involved.”

He criticized the newspaper for publishing the story.

“I am shocked that the Los Angeles Times would be so irresponsible as to publish such an unfounded and completely false story,” he said.
