In a shocking turn of events, new audio recordings have emerged in the long-standing investigation into the murder of Tupac Shakur, suggesting that hip-hop mogul P. Diddy may have played a role in orchestrating the hit.
The recordings feature Dwayne Keefe D. Davis, a known West Coast figure and suspect in Tupac’s killing, boasting about Diddy’s alleged involvement in the rap legend’s demise.
According to reports from The Sun, this unsettling two-hour and 25-minute police interview took place back in 2008 with the Los Angeles Police Department.
During this session, Keefe D. claimed that Diddy had offered him a staggering $1 million to arrange Tupac’s death.
Now, as Las Vegas investigators build their case against Keefe D., this audio has become a crucial piece of evidence in the ongoing homicide trial.
In the disturbing recording, which has recently come to light, the 60-year-old Keefe D. can be heard laughing and joking with police about Diddy’s supposed role in the murder that occurred in September 1996.
He alleges, without providing any solid proof, that he was responsible for Tupac’s shooting at Diddy’s behest during the infamous East-West Coast rap feud.
Keefe goes on to claim that Diddy wanted Tupac eliminated, specifically targeting rival record label executive Suge Knight along with the rap icon.
He insists that the million-dollar bounty was indeed proposed by Diddy, who has consistently denied any involvement in Tupac’s murder.
Prosecutors have introduced this audio as a way to underscore Keefe D.’s admissions regarding his significant role in the crime.
However, it’s important to highlight that much of what is said in the tape consists of unverified accusations against Diddy, raising questions about its reliability.
Throughout the recording, Keefe D. brags about his close ties to Diddy through mutual friend and fellow criminal Eric Martin.
He recounts conversations where Diddy expressed his disdain for Knight and his desire to eliminate both Knight and Tupac, painting a picture of a clandestine agreement between the two.
Tupac was infamously shot on the night of September 7, 1996, while en route to a nightclub with Suge Knight.
Despite Keefe D.’s claims of direct involvement, the specifics surrounding Diddy’s alleged connection to the murder remain murky.
Interestingly, Keefe D. asserts that he never received any payment for the shooting, which casts further doubt on his allegations.
This raises the question: if there was truly a financial incentive, why was no money exchanged?
