The family of the late Tupac Shakur has taken a significant step in the ongoing investigation into his death, hiring New York attorney Alex Spiro to explore an alleged connection between Tupac’s murder and Sean “Diddy” Combs. Shakur, who was shot while in Las Vegas in September 1996, succumbed to his injuries days later.

The renewed interest comes in light of recent developments, including the arrest of Duane “Keefe D” Davis, who has been charged with alleged murder in alleged connection to the attack. According to Billboard, Davis has claimed that Combs allegedly offered him $1 million to carry out an alleged hit on Shakur. This allegation has further fueled speculation surrounding Diddy’s alleged involvement.

In popular culture, the alleged connection between the two has resurfaced, with artists like Eminem referencing it in recent tracks. In a collaboration with JID, Eminem raps about the ripple effects of Tupac’s murder, suggesting an alleged link to Diddy.

Diddy has long denied any involvement in the events leading to Shakur’s death, stating in 2008, “The story is a lie,” and condemning reports that suggested he or his associates had any role in the attack.

Amidst these allegations, Combs faces serious legal challenges unrelated to Shakur’s case, as he has been indicted on multiple charges related to an alleged criminal operation. With twelve  alleged victims filing civil cases against him over the past year, including a woman who claims to have miscarried after an alleged sexual assault, Diddy’s legal troubles are mounting.

As the investigation unfolds, Tupac’s family is determined to uncover the truth behind the alleged connections to his tragic demise.
