Diddy Is Accused Of Paying $1M To Have Tupac Killed As His Name Appears 77 Times In Murder Docs

Embattled music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs' name has oddly surfaced multiple times in court documents concerning the murder of the late rapper Tupac Shakur.

The documents stem from a case against Duane "Keffe D" Davis, 61, who is accused of planning the 1996 drive-by shooting that took the life of Shakur in Las Vegas.

Davis had previously claimed that Diddy offered an individual $1 million to kill Shakur. However, Diddy remains not a suspect in the rapper's murder.

Back in 2009, Davis, who was accused of masterminding the drive-by shooting of Shakur, had an interview with the Las Vegas police.

During the interview, he suggested that Diddy paid a high-level drug dealer, Eric Von Martin, a million dollars to assassinate Shakur.

Those comments were recently cited in a filing to stop him from getting bail after his arrest last September on a charge of first-degree murder.

Shockingly, according to the Daily Mail, the documents that were filed named Diddy 77 times, most likely from Davis' continued claims that Diddy also had something to do with the murder of the late rapper.

Despite the serious allegations of the sit, the record label owner is still not considered a suspect, and it is unclear if that status quo will change.

However, from all indications, Davis mentioning Diddy's name appears to be the major stumbling block to getting bail, as the prosecutors argued in their filing that he should be kept in jail because he previously implicated Diddy.

A transcript, which was part of the nearly 180-page-long documents, revealed the alleged reason why Diddy might have wanted Shakur murdered.

In the transcript, Davis had told the authorities that Diddy offered to pay for the shooting to get back at then-record executive turned convict Marion Suge' Knight.

Knight was the co-founder and CEO of Death Row Records, the label to which Shakur was signed during the latter part of his career. He was also in the car with Shakur when the drive-by occurred.

"Puffy Combs….Does he play a role in this thing?…" the police had asked Davis during his 2009 interview, per the News Chronicle. At the time, Davis had replied, "Yeah, I think he did."

Davis also claimed that the embattled rapper said he "would give anything" for Suge Knight's "head" because he was "scared" of him.

While Diddy might not be directly involved in Shakur's case at the moment, he is knee-deep in his own troubles.

Several women have accused him of sexual harassment since his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura filed a sexual assault suit against the music mogul and quickly settled it.

In addition to these legal cases, Diddy might also be facing federal charges of sexual trafficking, money laundering, and illegal in the near future.

Already, federal agents have videos taken from Combs' residences across the country, which were raided. Some individuals seen in the videos are being contacted and may testify before a grand jury to indict the rapper.

Although it has been months since the raid, charges have yet to be brought because federal prosecutors want to ensure their case is bulletproof to prevent Diddy's lawyers from finding a way to get him off, per CNN.

Last month, it was reported that the high-profile law firm Grubman, Shire, Meiselas, and Sacks had let go of Diddy as one of their clients.

The legal firm had represented the embattled mogul for over 20 years, meaning they were already working with him when he changed his stage name from "Puff Daddy" to "P. Diddy" in 2001.

Reports claimed they had no choice but to cut ties with Diddy due to a request from another client, singer Lady Gaga.

However, a spokesperson for the law firm has since shut down this claim, telling the New York Post: "The report that the decision was the result of client pressure just isn't true."

A source also told Page Six that the law firm's decision to drop Diddy was solely due to the assault allegations plaguing the rapper.

According to reports, Diddy is ready to bid farewell to Los Angeles as he attempts to sell his Holmby Hills mansion.

Sources close to the situation told TMZ that the disgraced rap mogul is seeking an off-market sale for a whopping $70 million, a $30 million higher price than he initially paid for the pad in 2014.

The Holmby Hills mansion spans 17,000 square feet and boasts eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a 35-seat theater, a gym, a wine room, and a 3,000-square-foot guest house.

The property also includes outdoor amenities such as a lagoon-style pool with an underwater swimming tunnel, a basketball half-court, and meticulously maintained gardens.

Despite being over a decade old, the "I'll Be Missing You" rapper has updated the home's interior with modern finishes. However, insiders say the high asking price and the home's history may present challenges in securing a buyer.
