What you need to know:
If he didn’t have enough problems, Diddy is now being investigated for his connection to the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur.
If Sean Combs (aka P. Diddy) thought his legal situation – not to mention his reputation – couldn’t look any worse than it already is, let him know that now they are also investigating him for his involvement in the murder of the legendary Tupac Shakur.
The death of the Californian rapper is one of the biggest mysteries in music. Shakur lost his life on September 7, 1996 after receiving several gunshot wounds. Almost 30 years after his death, the motive behind the attack remains unknown.
Diddy has been linked to Tupac Shakur’s murder for years
But what does Diddy have to do with all this? It turns out that One of the most popular theories is that the singer of “California Love” was sent to be killed by P. Diddy, who allegedly paid hitmen to do the dirty work of eliminating Tupac Shakur.
The attack would have been due to the well-known rivalry between the West and the East Coast of California (here we tell you about that, as well as a brief history of hip hop) and in the case of Diddy, he would have given money to Orlando ‘Baby Lane’ Andersona member of the Southside Crips gang and the main suspect in the crime.
Well, several claim that he ordered the Californian rapper to be killed in 1996.
In fact, a couple of years ago a retired detective named Greg Kading, stated that P. Diddywho was a very close friend of the also deceased The Notorious BIG (Tupac’s enemy) had sent Shakur to cool down. Something that Diddy denied on several occasions.
The thing is that, as we told you, this theory/accusation was heard a lot again in 2023 when Duane “Keefe D” Davis, uncle of Orlando Anderson, was arrested by police of Las Vegas after the case was reopened to learn the truth.
In fact, one of the main suspects in the crime claims that Diddy paid him to kill Tupac
The authorities searched Davis’s home and found evidence that linked him to the rapper’s crime. Although well, years ago he himself had told, through his memoir, ‘Compton Street Legend’, that he was traveling in the white Cadillac from where Tupac Shakur was shot.
The thing is that Duane Davis also said that Diddy had offered him a million dollars to kill Tupac Shakur and Suge Knightwho he needed to get rid of. At least that’s what the defendant told the DEA and the United States Department of Justice in 2008.
And Shakur’s family has already begun investigating the link between Diddy and Tupac’s death
Tupac Shakur’s family now seems to be completely convinced that Diddy did have something to do with it. And we say this because the magazine Billboard reported that they have already hired lawyer Alex Spiro to investigate the alleged link between the rapper’s death and Sean Combs.
Spiro, a New York lawyer, has gained quite a bit of relevance for being one of the best lawyers in the celebrity world. In fact, He was the one who represented Alec Baldwin in his case due to the shooting of the film ‘Rust’, where photographer Halyna Hutchins died.
Diddy faces more accusations of sexual abuse and other serious crimes
At the moment Diddy faces quite serious accusations for the crimes of sexual abuse, coercion and incitement to engage in prostitution, narcotics crimes, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice, so this possible new lawsuit does not help him at all.
The most recent thing that is known about the case is that 120 more people have joined the lawsuits against Diddy. The Rolling Stone magazine reported that Of the alleged new victims, 60 are men and 60 womenamong all of them 25 are minors.
120 new victims have appeared to testify against the music producer
One of them is a person who was nine years old when he met Diddy at the offices of his record label Bad Boy, in Manhattan, to audition in the hope of winning a pass to record an album. However, She ended up being sexually abused.
Although Diddy continues with his legal process where he has been denied the right to bail (and in which disturbing details have been known, such as thousands of bottles of baby oil being found in his homes), he continues to deny all accusations.
Despite everything, Diddy denies all the accusations against him
“As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, “He cannot address every baseless accusation in what has become a reckless media circus.”Diddy’s lawyer, Erica Wolff, told Rolling Stone about her client.
“He hopes to prove his innocence and vindicate himself in court if the lawsuits are filed and served.”where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation”Wolff stated that he is surely working on one of the most difficult cases in his career.
