Former gang leader Duane “Keefe D” Davis, recently charged with the murder of Tupac Shakur, reportedly suggested to police that Sean “Diddy” Combs paid $1 million to have the rap legend killed.

According to court documents filed by the Clark County District Attorney’s Office on July 18 and obtained by Fox5, “[Davis] has asserted publicly that he only told on himself and wasn’t trying to provide evidence against anyone else in his conversations with police. However, this statement belies this claim, as he suggested that Sean Combs paid [drug dealer] Eric Von Martin a million dollars for the killings as well as offered to set up a surreptitious phone call with Terrence Brown, the driver, who, at the time, was still alive.”

Davis, 61, allegedly implicated Combs, 54, during a 2009 interview with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police. He claimed that the Bad Boy Records executive, who was involved in an ongoing East Coast-West Coast rap feud with Shakur, had said, “I would give anything for that dude [sic] head,” referring to Suge Knight, who led the rival label Death Row Records.

Davis also claimed that Martin, the supposed hitman, became wealthy years after the murder. Page Six has reached out to Combs’ representatives and lawyers for comment.

NEW FILINGS OVER TUPAC DEATH

This new filing has revived old rumors of Combs’ alleged involvement in Shakur’s death. Shakur was shot four times by an unidentified assailant in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996.

In a $25 million lawsuit filed in Manhattan in 2003, Kirk Burrowes, the godfather of one of Combs’ sons and a former president, claimed that Combs was “suspected” of hiring the shooter who killed Shakur.

In response to Davis’s claims, Tupac’s family has hired investigators and is preparing to take legal action if evidence is found. According to TMZ, the family hired attorneys Alex Spiro and Christopher Clore, along with investigators, to look into Davis’s statements. Alex Spiro is known for working on cold cases.

Sources told TMZ that the private investigation will focus on Diddy, and the team is confident they will uncover potential evidence. Any material linking the music mogul to the crime will be handed over to authorities for possible criminal charges. If no criminal evidence surfaces, Tupac’s family might file a wrongful death suit if sufficient evidence comes to light.

KEEFE D CONFESSION IN 2009

In the 2009 interview, homicide detective Dan Long asked Davis, “Puffy Combs. Does he play a role in this thing?”

Davis responded, “Yeah, I think he did. That’s what we think. That’s word on the street.”

A prosecutor’s filing indicates that Combs allegedly asked Davis if the South Side Crips were responsible for Shakur’s death. Davis reportedly answered, “Yes,” with pride.

Diddy himself responded to the claims in a 2008 statement to AllHipHop.

“This story is beyond ridiculous and completely false. Neither Biggie [Smalls, the late rapper] nor I had any knowledge of any attack before, during or after it happened. It is a complete lie to suggest that there was any involvement by Biggie or myself,” he said.
