Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs ‘Had Absolutely Nothing to Do With’ Tupac Shakur’s Murder, Despite Cop’s Testimony

Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently serving time at Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey (FCI Fort Dix), was brought up during the ongoing Tupac Shakur murder trial.

Shakur was 25 when he was shot in a drive-by shooting in Paradise, Nevada; he died days later on September 13, 1996. Nearly 30 years since his death, Duane “Keefe D” Davis is standing trial after being charged with first-degree murder.

According to a Friday, August 21, TMZ report, former LAPD detective Daryn Dupree testified in court that he interviewed Davis, 63, regarding the 1997 murder of Christopher Wallace, aka Biggie Smalls or the Notorious B.I.G. — and it provided clues into the Shakur case.

Per TMZ, Dupree claimed Davis said he had nothing to do with Biggie’s death, but said Diddy was allegedly involved in the murder of Shakur.

“Sean Puffy Combs was supposed to have given money to Zip Martin to give to Mr. Davis for payment of the Tupac murder,” Dupree said, as seen in video taken at the trial.

However, that money apparently never reached Davis, according to Dupree.

Regardless, a source close to the Bad Boy Records founder told TMZ, “Diddy had absolutely nothing to do with the Tupac murder.”

“He did not pull the trigger or set it up,” the source added. “It would be a waste of time if prosecutors ever called him as a witness.”

Davis has pleaded not guilty following his arrest in September 2023.

Though Davis previously recalled in his 2019 memoir Compton Street Legend the night Shakur was shot, his attorney Mike Sanft said there “should never have been charges” against him in the first place.

Sanft claimed that his client’s past comments about his alleged involvement in Shakur’s murder were not necessarily truthful.

Meanwhile, Diddy is currently behind bars, where he is expected to stay until 2028. He was sentenced to 50 months (or more than four years) in prison after he was found guilty on two counts of transportation for the purposes of prostitution.
