When Keefe D goes on trial for the murder of Tupac Shakur, he will likely implicate Puff Daddy in the crime.
According to new court documents, Keefe began working with the police after getting busted selling drugs. While they initially wanted information from him about the murder of Biggie Smalls, he offered up a bombshell about The Diddler’s involvement in the murder of 2Pac.
Keefe claims that Diddy offered him a million dollars to kill Pac and Suge Knight back in the day. He didn’t take the money — which he claims went to another gang banger — but was willing to go undercover to try to implicate Puff in the killing more than a decade later.
The court papers detail how Keefe, known as Duane Davis, became an informant after getting caught “trafficking a large amount of drugs” by the task force,” reports Radar. “Despite denying involvement in Biggie Smalls’ murder, Keefe provided a recorded confession to the police about how he and his gang killed Tupac in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas in 1996. Keefe claimed that Diddy offered him a million dollars for Tupac’s murder, which was reportedly paid to a gangster named Eric “Zip” Martin. Prosecutors allege that Keefe even flew to New York in 2009 to corroborate the conspiracy to kill Tupac.
Diddy is named 77 times in the filing.
Keefe D is accused of providing the gun that killed Pac and encouraging the shooting as retribution for a fight Pac had gotten into earlier that day. The man accused of firing the weapon, Keefe’s nephew Orlando Anderson, was shot to death in an unrelated gang incident two years after Pac’s death.
He is expected to go to trial in November.
