The Keep Ya Head Up singer was shot fatally in a drive-by incident in Las Vegas. His driver too was injured but sadly the singer succumbed to his wounds and passed away six days later.
This event gave fuel to the speculations that were already surrounding the artist. Previously, he was shot five times during a robbery at Quad Studios in New York City in 1994. At that time allegations were made against some big names in the industry.

Later, a gang leader named Duane ‘Keefe D’ Davis was arrested on the charges of the Hit Em Up singer’s murder. According to PEOPLE Davis was supposedly the one who organized the hit but he pleaded not guilty.
He went on to restate the accusation multiple times, even going as far as to claim that Diddy allegedly organized the hit. Davis claimed he was paid $1 million to get rid of both Knight and Shakur that night.

Sean Combs has never been considered a suspect in the Tupac Shakur homicide investigation.
However, authorities claimed that the allegations were mere hoaxes and had no legitimate basis. After many years, a video of Diddy being questioned about the incident has resurfaced on social media.
The short clip featured the host referencing the accusations of Shakur’s murder but the rapper cut him off in the middle. Diddy appearing annoyed at the line of questioning, stated that he won’t talk about that baseless rumor.
