Duane "Keefe D" Davis, who was arrested last year for his involvement in the "California Love" rapper's murder, claimed he was offered money from Diddy to arrange the assassination of Tupac.

Keefe has been the sole suspect in Tupac's murder for over two and a half decades. Tupac died on Sept. 13, 1996, after being shot multiple times on the Las Vegas strip. He was 25.

In documents filed on July 18, Diddy is referenced 77 times, using various aliases such as Puffy, Puff Daddy, Puff, and his legal name. Prosecutors first mention him while describing the "deadly rivalry" between East Coast's Bad Boy Records — led by Diddy — and West Coast's Death Row Records, under Marion "Suge" Knight, before Tupac Shakur's murder.

The filings, obtained by 'The Sun,' further allege that following the shooting, Keefe D traveled to New York as an informant with a Los Angeles police task force to collect incriminating evidence against Diddy and Eric "Zip" Martin.

"Task Force Detectives believed they had jurisdiction to investigate a Nevada homicide because Defendant asserted that the conspiracy to commit the murder began in California between Defendant, Eric 'Zip' Martin, and Sean Combs," the files claimed in part. "Defendant [Keefe] 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."

It's remains uncertain whether Diddy, 54, will be subpoenaed or indicted in connection with the case.
