THE man accused of the murder of Tupac Shakur has made shock claims that hip hop star Diddy orchestrated and paid $1 million for the assassination.
Keefe D, who appeared in court in Las Vegas over the killing yesterday, has claimed several times that Diddy – real name Sean Combs – asked him to “take out” Pac and record label boss Suge Knight.

Representatives for Diddy did not comment when asked about the allegations – but previously Combs has dismissed claims he was involved in Tupac’s death as “nonsense”.
The U.S. Sun can reveal how the Compton gangster – real name Duane Davis – has made the allegation in his book, in social media interviews – and even in a secret police interview with LAPD.
Another former gangster from the era – James McDonald – previously known as Mob James – has also confirmed to The U.S. Sun he heard rumors about Diddy and others at Death Row putting a price on Suge and Tupac’s head – as the New York-based rap artist was terrified of the record label boss.
In an exclusive interview, James, who used to work as a security enforcer for Death Row Records, said “everyone had a price on their head” at the time, as the war between the Bad Boy Records on the East Coast and Death Row Records on the West, heated up.
