Sean Combs, also known as Diddy, has been implicated in the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur. According to new court documents obtained by the U.S. Sun, the Bad Boy Records boss is accused of paying $1 million for Shakur’s assassination.
The suspect, Duane “Keefe D” Davis, who was arrested last year for the murder, claims that Combs financed the killing.
The court documents, filed on Thursday (July 18), mention Diddy 77 times under various pseudonyms, including Puffy, Puff Daddy, Puff, and his legal name, Sean Combs.
They highlighted a statement from Davis suggesting that Sean Combs paid Eric Von Martin a million dollars for the assassination.
In a transcript, Davis testified about Diddy’s involvement, indicating that Combs expressed his willingness to pay for the death of Suge Knight, whom he feared, and had issues with Shakur due to a diss track.
Prosecutors presented these documents to oppose Davis’ latest bail request, which was rejected last month over concerns about the source of the $112,500 bail bond. It remains unclear if Diddy will be subpoenaed or indicted in connection with the case.
