2Pac‘s family has reportedly decided to investigate the rumors that Diddy was involved in the late rapper’s murder.
On Monday (July 29), TMZ reported that some of Pac’s relatives retained a team of investigators and lawyers Alex Spiro and Christopher Clore to look into the recently-resurfaced claim from Keefe D that Puff offered to pay him to kill Pac in the 90s.
Keefe claimed in a police interview in 2009 that Diddy had offered him $1 million to kill both Suge Knight and 2Pac at the height of Bad Boy’s beef with Death Row Records in the mid 1990s, and paid half the money to Harlem gangster Eric “Von Zip” Martin after ‘Pac’s 1996 murder.
In a legal filing obtained by The Sun this week ahead of Keefe’s trial later this year, prosecutors claim that the former Compton crip flew to New York with LAPD detectives months after the interview as part of a plan to obtain evidence against the Bad Boy mogul and Martin
Prosecutors say that Keefe became an “active confidential informant” for the task force initially set up to investigate Biggie‘s murder after he was caught trafficking a large amount of drugs.
The 179-page document states that the former gang member, along with officers from the task force, flew to NYC in a bid to “corroborate the conspiracy” to kill 2Pac.
Diddy was never charged at the time, but now Pac’s family wants to look into things and see if there is anything there. Should they find anything, they plan to pursue criminal charges
Puff has denied any involvement in the killing, telling L.A. Weekly in 2011 that Keefe D’s story was “pure fiction and completely ridiculous.”
Keefe, who has been diagnosed with cancer, is the only person to ever be charged with Pac’s murder in Las Vegas over two and a half decades ago.
Despite pleading not guilty, he has admitted multiple times that he was involved in the shooting, most notably in his 2019 book Compton Street Legend.
However, Keefe D has since claimed that he was not being truthful when making statements about his role in the death of the rap icon.
