Tupac Shakur's family are still looking for answers about the rapper's death 28 years on from his murder.

In September 1996, Tupac was shot in a drive-by shooting, and died a few days later of his injuries.

It's taken the authorities the best part of the three decades to charge someone in connection to his death - that person being Duane 'Keffe D' Davis.

Davis is said to be a member of The South Side Compton Crips and was arrested last year.

He hasn't been accused of being the actual gunman to have fatally shot Tupac, but investigators have alleged that he was 'the shot caller for this group of individuals that committed this crime', AP News reported.

Davis has denied any wrongdoing, and his trial has been set to begin in March 2025.

But away from Davis' alleged connection to Tupac's passing, there's long been speculation that Sean 'Diddy' Combs also had some kind of involvement.

As well as Tupac, there's rumors Diddy has something to do with Biggie Smalls' death - something which Eminem makes reference to in his new song titled 'Fuel'.

With the years-long rumors in mind, Tupac's family have reportedly hired investigators and, in a recent update, New York-based attorney Alex Spiro, to look into any potential links Diddy has to the 'All Eyez On Me' rapper's death, Rolling Stone reports.

UNILAD have approached reps for Diddy for comment on the matter.

Back in one of the many police interviews he's faced over the years, Davis alleged that the 'Last Night' rapper offered to pay him $1 million to kill both Tupac and Suge Knight.

Diddy has always denied any involvement, however.

The accusations he's facing regarding Tupac's death comes with a series of other criminal charges he's been hit with in recent weeks, including sex trafficking, rape and racketeering.

Shortly after the charges were filed and Diddy was arrested in New York, over 100 people came forward with additional allegations about the disgraced hip-hop star.

Tony Buzbee is representing men and women who have accused Diddy of sexual abuse and exploitation, with some of the cases dating back as far as 1991.

"This is an important matter that we intend to aggressively pursue," Buzbee said at a press conference per The Los Angeles Times after the news broke.

"We will leave no stone unturned to find all potentially liable parties, to include any individual or entity who participated in or benefited from this egregious behavior."
