Tupac Shakur crime scene investigator Sheryl McCollum believes Sean “Diddy” Combs is connected to the late rapper’s 1996 murder and his previous shooting in 1994.
“This whole thing to me started in 1994 — the first time Tupac is shot,” McCollum, who worked on Shakur’s 1996 death, claimed to guest host Laura Ingle during an interview on NewsNation’s “Banfield” Friday.
The “All Eyez On Me” hitmaker was shot during a robbery gone wrong at New York City’s Quad Studios in Times Square at the same time Sean “Diddy” Combs was in the studio with an entourage of about 40 people.
“You ain’t gotta shoot somebody five times to take their jewelry and their money,” McCollum said.
“Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs and his entourage of 40? Unharmed. Unthreatened.”
“How does that make sense to anybody that one person is going to be robbed and not the other 40? Who would have had more money and jewelry? Forty.”
After the shooting, Shakur openly accused Biggie Smalls (also known as the Notorious B.I.G.), his label Bad Boy Records and the label’s founder, Combs, of having a role in the incident because of their unbothered reaction when he limped into the studio with blood on him.
“Nobody approached me. I noticed that nobody would look at me,” he recalled to Vibe magazine in 1995.
“Puffy was standing back too. I knew Puffy,” he said. “He knew how much stuff I had done for Biggie before he came out.”
Shakur was murdered two years later in a drive-by shooting as he was leaving a boxing match at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
“Both times that Tupac Shakur is shot, he is trapped in something,” McCollum said on “Banfield” Friday.
“He’s trapped in an elevator, and then he’s trapped in a car. There is literally nowhere to run.”
