A lot more justice may end up getting meted out by the new case against Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs than one might expect. According to The Sun,<\/em> federal investigators looking into the rapper\u2019s alleged sex trafficking and racketeering crimes are \u201csecretly liaising\u201d with prosecutors in the trial of Duane \u201cKeffe D\u201d Davis, the first and only person ever charged in connection with the 1996 drive-by murder of rap legend Tupac Shakur.<\/p>\n

What, if anything, might Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs have had to do with Tupac Shakur\u2019s 1996 murder? Federal investigators are reportedly asking that right now. (Instagram\/@diddy)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A source told the British newspaper that the Clark County District Attorney\u2019s office in Las Vegas is sharing information about wider claims, brought up in Davis\u2019 trial testimony that tie Diddy to individuals wanting Shakur dead.<\/p>\n

According to The Sun,<\/em> Diddy\u2019s name was mentioned 77 times in documents submitted by prosecutors in opposition to Davis\u2019 third bail request, which was denied last month.<\/p>\n

What Diddy Do?<\/h2>\n

Combs, 54, was arrested on Monday in Manhattan, six months after federal agents conducting a sex trafficking investigation raided his homes in LA and Miami.<\/p>\n

\n

The hip-hop impresario \u201cpresided over a sordid empire of sexual crimes, coercing and abusing women for years while using blackmail and shocking acts of violence to keep his victims in line,\u201d according to an indictment unsealed Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The music mogul pleaded not guilty in New York City federal court on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

In old interviews with both the LAPD and the media, Davis, an admitted gang leader, claimed that he orchestrated Shakur\u2019s murder at Combs\u2019 request, but that Combs refused to make good on the $1 million he initially offered Davis for the hit.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors believe that Davis made these statements under the erroneous assumption that the immunity he was granted by the LAPD — in exchange for help with its 2008 investigation into the murders of Shakur and Christopher \u201cNotorious B.I.G.\u201d Wallace — applied to Davis’ prosecution for Shakur’s murder by another jurisdiction.<\/p>\n

Davis’ attorneys argue that their client was lying in an effort to profit from the claims.<\/p>\n

Combs and Davis were acquainted because Combs\u2019 record label, Bad Boy Records, hired Davis to work security sometime in the 1990s.<\/p>\n

Combs denies ever making the offer to Davis and no charges were ever brought against him in connection with Shakur\u2019s murder.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis story is beyond ridiculous and completely false,\u201d Combs told the website AllHipHop<\/em> in 2008. \u201cNeither Biggie nor I had any knowledge of any attack before, during, or after it happened. It is a complete lie.\u201d<\/p>\n

For three decades, however, the streets have assumed that Combs bore some responsibility for Shakur’s killing. That\u2019s because Wallace’s drive-by murder, which occurred in LA only six months after Shakur’s, seemed so retaliatory in nature.<\/p>\n

To Combs, Wallace represented exactly what Shakur was to rap impresario Marion \u201cSuge\u201d Knight — a beloved friend and golden goose. In addition, both the slain rappers and their label bosses were highly visible opposition leaders in the East Coast\/West Coast hip-hop feud at the time.<\/p>\n

The feds know who (Las Vegas police) investigators have spoken to about the case and are aware of witnesses too,\u201d The Sun<\/em> quotes an unnamed source close to the Las Vegas investigation. \u201cJust what this means for Diddy remains to be seen.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Earlier this month, Davis\u2019 murder trial was delayed until March 2025 because his attorney, Carl Arnold, requested more time to review the case\u2019s extensive discovery materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
