Former LAPD detective claims P Diddy was behind fatal drive-by shooting of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur in 1996
Shakur, 25, was murdered in a drive-by shooting in 1996 in the middle of a feud between rival rap groups from the East and West Coasts of US. Now retired, Detective Greg Kading has said the entire hit was set-up by Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs, who was then known as Puff Daddy.
Kading also claims that the murder of Combs’ best friend Christopher ‘Biggie Smalls’ Wallace six months later was in revenge for the murder of Shakur.
Kading’s claims appear in a new documentary that suggests Combs hired Crips gang member Duane Keith ‘Keffe D’ Davis to kill Shakur for $1million.
Davis was also allegedly hired to kill Shakur’s manager Marion ‘Suge’ Knight. Instead Kading said Keffe passed the hit onto nephew Orlando ‘Baby Lane’ Anderson.
It was therefore Anderson who shot Skakur dead after he left a Mike Tyson fight on September 7, 1996, Kading claims.
The documentary, Murder Rap, includes a 2008 interview with Keffe where he claims to have heard Diddy issue a call for Tupac’s murder.
