Tupac Shakur’s brother has hit out against Sean ‘Diddy Combs to question his past comments about the rapper’s death.
Mopreme Shakur has reflected on a 2008 statement from Combs where the I’ll Be Missing You singer insisted he had no connection to the 1996 murder of Tupac.
Sharing his doubt over Combs’s past statement, Mopreme told Piers Morgan Uncensored, “My opinion is that I don’t believe it was a 100 percent honest statement. So, again, we gotta find out what’s true and what’s false. What’s real and what’s fake.”
Recounting a past exchange with Combs, he continued, “(He) basically said he had nothing to do with my brother’s murder. I told him, ‘The truth is still yet to come out, so we’re going to see.’ Here we are, 27, 28 years later, it looks like there’s some doubt in that statement, along with all the other suspicions that people have.”
Asked if he thinks Combs was lying, Mopreme replied, “Quite possibly and it’s kind of looking that way, in my opinion.”
Tupac was gunned down in Las Vegas in 1996 and in September 2023, Crips gang leader Duane ‘Keffe D’ Davis was charged with the late rapper’s murder.
Tupac’s family began investigating Combs’ link to the murder after the music mogul was accused of being involved in the death – with a Los Angeles Times article suggesting the singer enticed Tupac to visit a music studio before he was shot.
Combs previously denied the accusations via a statement that read, “The story is a lie. It is beyond ridiculous and completely false.
“Neither (the late rapper Notorious B.I.G.) nor I had any knowledge of any attack before, during or after it happened. I am shocked that the Los Angeles Times would be so irresponsible as to publish such a baseless and completely untrue story.”
