Duane “Keefe D” Davis allegedly cooperated with the LAPD in an undercover operation to implicate Diddy in 2Pac’s murder. The Sun reported on Saturday (July 20) that prosecutors revealed Davis participated in the undercover work back in 2009 after he was caught “trafficking a large amount of drugs” by the LAPD task force. Keefe D flew to New York City alongside the LA law enforcement with the mission to “corroborate the conspiracy” that Sean Combs had something to do with the Las Vegas shooting. Harlem gangster Eric “Von Zip” Martin was also targeted in the LAPD’s bicoastal undercover operation.
The 179-page legal document states Keefe D allegedly met Martin and his nephew while he was in NYC, where he attempted to recruit the gangster to “traffic narcotics.” “After returning, [Keefe D] tried to enlist Mr. Martin in an effort to traffic narcotics,” legal documents state. “Mr. Martin indicated he was out of the business but directed him to conduct his drug activities with the nephew.”
As for the Bad Boy Records founder, Diddy’s name appears 77 times in the legal docs. One particular moment included the transcript of Davis accusing Combs of putting out a hit on Suge Knight and Pac. Legal documents show that the cops asked if Combs “play[ed] a role in this thing?” to which Keefe responded, “Yeah, I think he did.” Another transcript shown in court included Davis recalling Puffy contacting him about Pac’s death, detailing that Combs “reache[d] out wondering if the South Side Crips were responsible for Shakur’s death by asking, ‘Is that us?’ [Keefe D], beaming with pride, answer[ed], ‘Yes.'”
Rolling Stone’s May 2024 exposé about the mogul explored his relationship with Pac. Kirk Burrowes, Bad Boy’s co-founding partner and president, revealed to the magazine that Combs was “jealous” of Biggie and Pac’s friendship. Burrowes explained that Combs wanted to forge a friendship with the late Death Row artist, but Shakur wasn’t interested.
“Pac didn’t have any kind of respect for Puff,” 90’s photographer Monique Bunn expressed. Bunn claimed that Pac felt Diddy was a “corny executive” and that he was “on the sidelines, jealous.”
The explosive piece found Burrowes sharing that Diddy encouraged Biggie “to write certain songs,” that felt “beefy.” Diddy allegedly released Biggie’s single “Who Shot Ya?” in 1995 to stir the beef narrative between B.I.G. and Pac. Biggie was adamant that it wasn’t. Tupac responded with “Hit’ Em Up,” pushing the narrative even further that there was beef between the East Coast and West Coast rappers.
