Rapper 50 Cent has accused Diddy of ordering the murder of 2Pac in a recent Instagram post, advising him to "lawyer up." Speculation about Diddy's involvement in 2Pac's murder has circulated for years, fueled by a 2008 police confession by Duane "Keefe D" Davis, who was charged with the murder last month. However, authorities believe the murder was in retaliation for an earlier incident involving 2Pac and Orlando Anderson. Former Bad Boy artist Ma$e and retired LAPD detective Greg Kading have also addressed the speculation, with Kading stating that the chances of Diddy being charged are slim. Diddy has yet to respond to 50 Cent's allegations.
Ice-T comments on the recent arrest of Keefe D in connection to the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur, stating that Davis' own admissions in interviews and books made his arrest easier. Ice-T questions why it took law enforcement so long to apprehend Davis, given their knowledge of his involvement. He believes Davis will likely spend the rest of his life in prison and blames his arrest on being too forthcoming about his connection to the crime. Davis has been indicted on one count of murder with a deadly weapon and could face additional sentencing due to his admitted gang activity.
Duane Keith "Keefe D" Davis, who confessed to assisting in the shooting of rapper 2Pac in a recent interview, is facing imminent charges related to the murder. Law enforcement has built a strong case against Keefe D and will present it to a Las Vegas grand jury in September 2023. The investigation involved gathering evidence and identifying witnesses, including Keefe D himself, who has bragged about his involvement. A recent raid on Davis' wife's home yielded items potentially linking him to the Southside Crips gang. Keefe D's confession came in 2018 after being diagnosed with cancer, and authorities hope to finally solve the unsolved 1996 shooting.
YG was stopped by police after attending the Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony honoring 2Pac, but he laughed it off.

YG had previously expressed frustration that it took so long for 2Pac to receive his star. Boosie Badazz also weighed in on the perceived disrespect, assuring people that the "Hit 'Em Up" rapper was throwing his middle finger in the air from the Great Beyond.
