The mysterious deaths of Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. have haunted the hip-hop world for decades. Recently, a new wave of intrigue has been stirred with a startling accusation coming to light. A supposed suspect in the matter has alleged that music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs made a huge deal to plan the killing of Tupac. Combs, who is currently embroiled in numerous controversies, has been slapped with yet another explosive claim that threatens to upend the long-held theories surrounding one of the infamous unsolved crimes in music history.
Diddy accused of paying Million for Tupac hit
On September 7, 1996, Tupac Shakur, a 25-year-old American rapper known for his revolutionary impact on the music industry, was shot in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was reportedly hit by four bullets from a .40-caliber Glock. Now, according to Fox 5, ex-gang leader Duane “Keefe D” Davis, who faces murder charges in connection with Tupac’s death, allegedly told police that Sean “Diddy” Combs offered $1 million to have the rapper killed.
“[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,” court documents obtained by the outlet claim.
Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. have been linked for a while because their stories are pretty similar. Biggie was shot a year after Tupac. It was earlier reported that Duane 'Keefe D' Davis, who talked about his part in Tupac's killing in a bunch of interviews, basically admitted to being involved in the crime. A lot of people think that the same person or people could be behind both killings.

Is Sean Combs involved in Tupac Shakur’s death?
The allegation against Sean "Diddy" Combs is not entirely new. This theory has circulated for years but is now gaining traction as the Bad Boy record producer finds himself entangled in serious accusations. This involves sex trafficking, sexual harassment, rape, and battery among others.

Court documents have referenced a "deadly rivalry" between Combs' East Coast label, and Suge Knight's West Coast imprint, Death Row Records. These same documents include a transcript of a 2009 interview where Combs reportedly expressed intense animosity towards Knight, who was with Tupac Shakur at the time of the murder.
The former gang member said Diddy claimed, “I would give anything for that dude [sic] head,” referring to Knight.
