The admission was described by a man who became a victim of P. Diddy in 2012. He stated that Diddy hinted at his involvement in the murder when threatening him after committing sexual assault.

«Better not tell anyone about this… I«m not joking. If I could kill Pac, what the hell could happen to you?» — our colleagues from StarHit quote Diddy as saying.

Earlier, Tupac Shakur«s family had already decided to find out if the notorious Diddy (real name Sean Combs) was involved in the young rapper»s murder. The star«s relatives have already hired a lawyer — the case will be handled by New York defense attorney Alex Spiro.

In September 2023, Duane (Keefe D) Davis was detained on charges of Shakur«s murder, but in court he refused to admit his guilt, despite what was written in the 2019 memoir »Compton Street Legend«. There, he essentially confessed to the deed.

Then Davis stated that he shot on Diddy«s order. Diddy allegedly promised him a million dollars for the murder of Tupac and the founder of Death Row Records, Suge Knight.

Recall that the murder of Tupac Shakur occurred in Las Vegas in 1996 and remained unsolved for 27 years. After a boxing match, Shakur fought with Orlando Anderson — the nephew of Keffe D. That same evening, the rapper was shot from a passing car. Tupac died a few days later in the hospital, and Knight was wounded in the head but survived.

At the same time, the rapper has not been formally charged.

«Combs has not been charged in connection with Shakur«s death, and he has repeatedly denied involvement. A spokesperson for the Las Vegas Police Department stated that Combs was never a suspect in Shakur»s murder,» the source reports.

In another federal case, the artist was charged with racketeering, human trafficking, and organizing prostitution. In July, the jury found him guilty only on two counts related to prostitution, but acquitted him on the more serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.

As a result, he was sentenced to four years and two months in prison on charges of transporting women for prostitution. He is also required to pay a fine of 500 thousand dollars. Details about this case we covered separately. For all the charges against the rapper, read the article.

During the investigation, searches were conducted at Diddy«s homes in Los Angeles and Miami, where investigators found evidence: a large amount of drugs, various specific items used at his orgy parties, and over 1000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.

On September 17, 2024, police arrested the producer in New York. In October, it became known that another 120 lawsuits for sexual assault were filed against him, and among the victims there are allegedly children aged 9 and 14.

On May 12, 2025, the trial of Sean Combs began, and the proceedings lasted seven weeks. All the details of the hearings were collected by Fontanka.
