Tupac’s family hires attorney to find Diddy murder link
Tupac Shakur’s family has hired a prominent attorney to investigate whether Diddy was involved in the 1996 murder.
It has long been rumored that Diddy was involved in the murder, but he has never been charged.
In light of mounting criminal allegations against him now — including an indictment last month for sex trafficking and racketeering, among other charges — Tupac’s family wants the case reexamined.
The family has hired prominent New York celebrity attorney Alex Spiro, who is also notably representing embattled New York Mayor Eric Adams on bribery allegations, to investigate the disgraced music mogul.

Tupac’s family has hired prominent New York celebrity attorney Alex Spiro, known for his work with high-profile clients including Alec Baldwin, Eric Adams and Elon Musk.
They are hopeful that privately hired attorney Spiro can find the link that prosecutors and LAPD detectives could never find, according to Hof TV.
Tupac and Diddy faced off in a hip-hop feud that dominated the 1990s.
On the East Coast were Diddy – whose real name is Sean Combs – and fellow rapper Notorious BIG, real name Christopher Wallace.
Tupac, on the West Coast, was convinced that Notorious BIG was behind a 1994 robbery in which he was the target.
When he was shot dead in Las Vegas in 1996, many blamed the East Coast rap contingent, including Diddy, for his death.
After more than two decades of speculation, Duane Keith Davis, better known as Keefe D, was charged last year for his role in the shooting. He is awaiting trial.

Although Davis is the only person charged with Tupac’s murder, he has previously named Diddy as an alleged conspirator.
According to a detective who testified in his case, Davis claimed that “Suge” Knight, who drove the car in which Tupac was shot, told people that Diddy was “if not directly, indirectly responsible for the murder of his close friend.”
