In a bombshell revelation, former LAPD detective Greg Kading, renowned for his involvement in the investigations of the murders of iconic rappers Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. (Biggie), has made startling claims regarding Sean “Diddy” Combs. According to Kading, Diddy allegedly orchestrated a hit on Tupac and Suge Knight in 1995. This information came to light during an interview with the New York Times, shedding new light on one of the most notorious chapters in hip-hop history.
Kading asserts that Duane “Keefe D” Davis, a former Southside Crip and key figure in the investigations, admitted that Diddy ordered the hit during a Summer Jam tour in California. Allegedly, Diddy convened a meeting in a hotel room, where he expressed his desire to see Tupac and Suge’s “heads.” The price for carrying out this deadly mission? A staggering $1 million.
In response to Diddy’s proposition, Keefe D reportedly assured him, “Man, we’ll wipe their a- out quick.” This chilling promise set the stage for the events that would unfold in the years to come. The tension between the East Coast and West Coast rap scenes was already at a boiling point, and this revelation only adds fuel to the fire of speculation surrounding the motives behind the murders.
In 1996, the feud between Tupac and the Southside Crips reached a violent climax when Tupac allegedly punched Orlando Anderson, Keefe D’s nephew, in the face during a Mike Tyson fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. This altercation intensified the personal vendetta between the two camps.
Keefe D recounted these events in his 2019 memoir, revealing the ominous shift in the feud. He confessed to obtaining a .40-caliber Glock and hitting the streets of Las Vegas with the intent to find Tupac. Ultimately, Keefe D claims he handed the weapon to his nephew Orlando, who allegedly fired four shots at Tupac, leading to the rapper’s tragic death.
The case took another dramatic turn in 2023 when Keefe D was arrested and charged with the murder of Tupac Shakur. His own admissions in his memoir and the details shared with investigators played a crucial role in his indictment.
These revelations cast a shadow over Diddy’s legacy, raising questions about the extent of his involvement in the violent rivalry that claimed the lives of two of hip-hop’s most influential figures. As new details continue to emerge, the saga of Tupac and Biggie’s murders remains a haunting chapter in the history of the music industry, reminding us of the dark side of fame and the destructive power of unresolved conflicts.
