By Federal agents investigating rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs are reportedly collaborating with prosecutors handling the Tupac Shakur murder case, according to sources close to the investigation. This unexpected development potentially links decades-old allegations to current legal proceedings.
A source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The U.S. Sun that federal investigators have been working with the Clark County District Attorney’s office in Las Vegas, sharing information related to the 1996 shooting of rap icon Tupac Shakur.
The collaboration reportedly focuses on broader claims of criminal activity, gangland connections, and individuals who may have wanted Shakur dead. Notably, the federal teams liaising with Vegas law enforcement are the same ones investigating Diddy’s ongoing sex trafficking case.
Federal agents raided Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami in March as part of a sex trafficking probe. Currently, Keefe D, whose real name is Duane Davis, is the only person charged with Shakur’s assassination. In interviews and a police statement, Keefe D has claimed that Diddy offered him $1 million to kill Tupac, an allegation Diddy has vehemently denied.
Court documents reveal that Diddy was mentioned 77 times in prosecutors’ filings opposing Keefe D’s bail request, highlighting the complex web of allegations surrounding the case.
A Las Vegas legal source stated: “Federal agents and Clark County DAs and their investigators have secretly been talking about the Keefe case for the last few months. The federal investigators have their work centered around the modern day activity of Diddy. But they know that Vegas has been collating information for the last couple of years on the Tupac case as well as speaking to tens of witnesses.”
The source added that this collaboration allows for easier access to federal documents and avoids duplication of efforts in the investigation.
Diddy’s attorney has maintained his client’s innocence in the federal probe. When approached for comment on the alleged connection to the Tupac case, representatives for Combs declined to comment. However, Diddy has previously denied any involvement in Shakur’s murder, stating in 2008, “This story is beyond ridiculous and completely false. Neither Biggie nor I had any knowledge of any attack before, during or after it happened.”
The Clark County District Attorney’s office has not publicly discussed Diddy in relation to Keefe D’s trial hearings. When reached for comment on this report, they did not respond.
Keefe D’s murder trial has been postponed to March 2025. His defense lawyer, Carl Arnold, has stated that Keefe’s central defense is that he fabricated stories about his role in Shakur’s shooting for money and fame.
The ongoing investigations and their potential connections highlight the complex and enduring nature of one of hip-hop’s most notorious unsolved crimes. As federal and local authorities continue their work, the rap industry and the public await further developments in these intertwined cases.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to Homeland Security Investigations, the Clark County District Attorney’s office, and representatives for Diddy for additional comment on these developments.
