LAPD Detective claims Suge Knight and Sean “Diddy” Combs behind murders of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. [VIDEO]

Diddy and Suge Knight Tupac Biggie Murders: Explosive New Claims Surface

Two of hip-hop’s most haunting unsolved cases—the murders of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G.—are back in the spotlight. Former LAPD homicide detective Greg Kading makes bold accusations in his upcoming book Murder Rap, claiming that Sean “Diddy” Combs and Suge Knight played orchestrating roles in the slayings. These allegations, backed by taped confessions and internal LAPD documents, could potentially change the public narrative surrounding the tragic deaths of the two rap icons.

Former LAPD Detective Drops Bombshell Ahead of Book Release

In Murder Rap, Kading alleges that the LAPD has “extensive tapes and documents” tying both moguls to the deaths. He says he was pulled from the investigation just as he was about to make critical progress. The former detective claims to have preserved nearly every report, taped confession, and interview from his time on the case. Therefore, providing the foundation for the book’s controversial claims.

Kading’s involvement with the investigation began years ago. With that, he says internal interference derailed the case. “They shut it down right when I was closing in,” he reveals. Now, he brings forward what he calls undeniable evidence, including recordings of key figures allegedly detailing their roles.

Alleged $1 Million Hit: Diddy Named in Tupac’s Death

One of the most striking claims centers around Tupac Shakur’s 1996 murder in Las Vegas. Kading recounts that Duane “Keffe D” Davis, a known Southside Crip, confessed on tape that Diddy offered him $1 million to kill both Tupac and Suge Knight. In the alleged conversation, Keffe D says Diddy approached him directly, saying, “Man, I want to get rid of them dudes.”

The supposed murder-for-hire plot adds a dark layer to the East Coast-West Coast rivalry that dominated hip-hop in the mid-90s. Tupac was gunned down in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later. As a result, there were many calls for peace in hip-hop, afterwards.

Diddy has denied any involvement, responding via email, “This story is pure fiction and completely ridiculous.”

Suge Knight Allegedly Behind Biggie’s Murder

While Diddy is linked to Tupac’s death, Kading points the finger at Suge Knight for orchestrating the murder of Christopher Wallace, known to the world as The Notorious B.I.G., in March 1997. Kading claims that Knight enlisted his child’s mother, Theresa Swann, to funnel money to gang member Wardell “Poochie” Fouse. Therefore, allegedly ordering the hit on Biggie in retaliation for Tupac’s killing.

Swann allegedly confirmed the arrangement in taped interviews. Therefore, saying Suge gave her the cash directly. Poochie, who had strong gang affiliations and a violent record, was killed in 2003. He was never charged in Biggie’s murder.

Knight has not commented on the new claims. Thus, continuing his long-standing silence on the case.

A Decade of Unanswered Questions

The murders of Tupac and Biggie remain two of the most tragic and mysterious events in hip-hop history. Despite endless speculation, no one has ever been charged in either case. Over the years, fans and conspiracy theorists have pointed fingers in every direction—from law enforcement to record labels to gang involvement.

With Murder Rap, Kading reignites the debate, this time offering what he claims is hard proof. He says the LAPD sat on crucial evidence and intentionally removed him from the case to prevent the investigation from reaching a conclusion.

According to LA Weekly, the department insists the case remains “active/ongoing,” but offers no updates or new findings.

Taped Confessions Shake Up the Case

What separates Kading’s claims from previous conspiracy theories is his assertion that the LAPD has recorded confessions from those involved. In addition to Keffe D’s bombshell interview, Swann’s taped statements link Suge Knight directly to Biggie’s death.

Kading made personal copies of these recordings before leaving the force, ensuring the information wouldn’t disappear within the bureaucracy. The detective-turned-author believes this material is strong enough to bring about legal consequences—if pursued.

Suge Knight and the YouTube Hoax

Adding to the confusion around Knight’s alleged involvement was a viral video that circulated last winter, appearing to show Knight being arrested for Tupac’s murder. The clip, spliced from two separate news broadcasts, misled viewers by suggesting Knight was finally facing justice.

However, the arrest shown in the video was for an unrelated issue, and the documentary referenced in the clip was not affiliated with any law enforcement announcement. The video was later confirmed to be a hoax.

Combs and Knight: Titans in the Crosshairs

The involvement of two of hip-hop’s biggest names adds a dramatic layer to these revelations. Sean Combs and Suge Knight helped shape the modern music industry—Diddy through his Bad Boy empire, and Suge through the raw energy of Death Row Records.

To implicate both in the genre’s most infamous murders is no small claim. Kading’s accusations, if true, suggest that the feud between East Coast and West Coast hip-hop was not just lyrical—it was deadly.

Fans of both Tupac and Biggie have long sought closure. Now, with these revelations, some may feel closer to the truth, while others may be more confused than ever.

The Bigger Picture: Failure of Justice

Beyond the names and headlines, Kading’s book paints a picture of systemic failure. He argues that the LAPD chose politics and internal control over justice, effectively burying a case that could have changed lives.

He calls out the department’s hierarchy for pulling him off the case, a move he believes was meant to stifle momentum. Despite the supposed “ongoing” status of both cases, no significant progress has been made in over a decade.

“Murder Rap isn’t just about two crimes—it’s about the culture of silence and protection that let the killers walk free,” Kading says.

What’s Next for the Case?

With the release of Murder Rap, pressure is mounting for the LAPD to re-open the investigation in earnest. Families of both Tupac and Biggie have spent years without justice, and fans across the globe are eager for closure.

Whether or not new legal proceedings arise from Kading’s revelations remains to be seen. What’s certain is that the conversation is far from over. As hip-hop continues to evolve, the legacy of Tupac and Biggie remains etched into its foundation—and so do the unanswered questions surrounding their deaths.

As the book hits shelves tomorrow, readers will have the chance to explore the claims for themselves, reigniting the debate over what really happened to Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G.
