New court documents have revealed Tupac's murder suspect implicated Sean 'Diddy' Combs in the crime during an interview with police.

Duane 'Keffe D' Davis was arrested on 29 September, 2023, accused of fatally shooting 25-year-old rapper Tupac Shakur back in 1994.

Davis was indicted by a grand jury for one count of murder with a deadly weapon and has remained in jail as he awaits trial. However, on 23 July, he appeared in front of a judge after his attorney filed a motion to reconsider his bond.

In response to the request, Clark County District Attorney's Office filed documents on 18 July which sees prosecutors refer to an interview where Davis allegedly suggested Combs paid to have Shakur killed.

Davis' attorney requested he be allowed to be placed under house arrest until his trial takes place.

It follows after last month when Davis tried to post bond after fellow musician Cash 'Wack100' Jones offered to cover the bail premium of $112,500, as reported by 3News.

Judge Carli Kierny denied the request, noting it wasn't clear where Jones' money had come from.

However, after Clark County District Attorney’s Office filed a nearly 180-page document on 18 July in response to Davis' request for bail, Kierny is reported by Fox5 Las Vegas as reconsidering if the bond money should be allowed.

And it's reported the documents also reveal new evidence obtained by prosecutors.

The Clark County court documents, according to FOX5 Las Vegas, feature a footnote by prosecutors which states: "[Davis] has asserted publicly that he only told on himself and wasn’t trying to provide evidence against anyone else in his conversations with police.

"However, this statement belies this claim, as he suggested that Sean Combs paid Eric Von Martin a million dollars for the killings as well as offered to set up a surreptitious phone call with Terrence Brown, the driver, who, at the time, was still alive."

The documents also allegedly contain a transcript of an interview of Davis with detectives from Las Vegas Metropolitan Police, reported by outlets as being from 2008 or 2009.

The US Sun claims to have heard the audio recording from the interview, which allegedly sees Davis claim Combs said he wanted both Tupac and record executive Marion Hugh 'Suge' Knight Jr dead.

On the tape, Davis allegedly accuses Combs of saying: "Man I want to get rid of those dudes."

Davis allegedly said it was 'just' him and Combs when the alleged hit order was given and that Combs offered him and Eric 'Zip' Martin - who passed away over 10 years ago - 'anything for those dudes heads'.

Davis allegedly says on the recording he and Martin 'wanted a million' and said: "We will wipe their a** out quick, you know."

Despite this, law enforcement officials told TMZ Combs was 'never' a suspect in Shakur's murder investigation and isn't at present either.

A public information officer for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department echoed to PEOPLE on 24 July: "Sean Combs has never been considered a suspect in the Tupac Shakur homicide investigation."

Combs has also repeatedly denied the claims, telling LA Weekly in 2011: "This story is pure fiction and completely ridiculous."

UNILAD has contacted Clark County District Attorney's Office and Sean Comb's lawyer, Aaron Dyer, for comment.
