Diddy was once asked by Charlamagne tha God about the popular documentary that alleged he was the mastermind behind Tupac’s murder.
Tupac was killed following a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas in September 1996. A suspect, Duane “Keefe D” Davis, was arrested in September 2023, though police have said that he was not the gunman, and the murder remains unsolved.
A documentary, entitled “Murder Rap,” by filmmaker Mike Dorsey, featured retired Los Angeles Police Department Detective Greg Kading, who claimed that rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, one of Biggie Small’s closest confidants, ordered a hit on Tupac Shakur and his manager, Marion Hugh “Suge” Knight. In retaliation, Kading alleged, Knight paid somebody to kill Wallace.
Christopher Wallace popularly known as the Notorious B.I.G., was murdered in a drive-by shooting in the early hours of March 9, 1997, in Los Angeles, California at the age of 24, just one year after Tupac’s passing
Charlamagne tha God asked Diddy on The Breakfast Club in an interview back in 2016, for his thoughts on the documentary, and Diddy was quick to dismiss the topic, labeling it as “nonsense.”
“We don’t discuss nonsense. We don’t even entertain nonsense, my brother, so we are not going there,”
said Diddy.
The rap mogul reiterated that he was not provoked by the question, but rather he has outgrown discussing such matters which he considers “nonsense,” stating,
“I’m going to tell you this, it’s very important. I have this new hashtag, and it’s called ‘new life.’ I have to start living a new life. The way I approach and react to things has changed. We all grow up and do things in ways that maybe we could have done better. I’m trying to figure out ways to do better. I know I’m in the public eye, and I have to handle all types of different things. I control what I say, and I don’t engage in nonsense. I have love for everybody.”
When the documentary was released, a source close to Diddy dismissed the allegations as baseless, stating that there was no proof Diddy had any involvement in the murder.
The retired LAPD detective, Kading, claimed in the documentary that both murder cases were solved years ago. He alleged in an interview with PEOPLE that Los Angeles authorities chose not to charge Combs partly because of his celebrity status. They also decided not to pursue the case further more than five years ago because both suspected gunmen were deceased, having died in unrelated incidents.
There are reports that Diddy would be questioned again about Tupac’s murder, as a court document alleged he was behind the murder.
