Prior to his death, Tupac Shakur and P. Diddy weren’t exactly on the nicest of terms, especially after the former joined Diddy’s rival label, Death Row. Moreover, the Life Goes On rapper vehemently believed that the Bad Boy Records owner was somewhat involved with his earlier shooting back in ’94.

While Diddy himself has denied these claims, Duane Davis, the accused killer of Tupac, claimed that the former allegedly offered a handsome amount to take out his rival musician, and added he had no hesitations about taking the alleged job.

Given the extremely tense situations of the late 90s, which surged from the East Coast/West Coast feud at the time, according to Tupac’s accused killer, Diddy allegedly put...

September 13, 1996, was a dark day in the history of humanity. People around the world all echoed the same sentiment: They did it. They really killed Tupac. And this time, he didn’t get to walk it off.

For the longest time, a conspiracy involving the 1995 Times Square shooting made the rapper paranoid about his life being on a short leash. Even the prison interview 2Pac gave after his sexual assault conviction began and ended on the same note – that if he was going to get killed, he wanted the world to know the truth first. Because in his heart, 2Pac believed there was a reason why people were after him:

Because if they can stop me, they can stop 30 more rappers before they even born. But there’s something else I understand now: If we really are saying rap is an art form, then we...

Almost thirty years have passed since then, and while progress has been made in identifying the killer and those involved in the singer’s murder, the case has once again thrust a celebrity into the spotlight: Diddy, who was also known as Puff Daddy in the 2000s. Although he had been mentioned before, what exactly is his role in all this?

As He Took his sunrise walk through a quiet Las Vegas suburb of tan stucco houses and desert landscaping in late September, Duane Davis resembled nobody’s idea of a gangster legend. A bald man on the soft side of 60 in a white Polo Sport T-shirt and loose-fitting pants, he could have been just another middle-aged neighbor plodding uphill against the ravages of time.

Whatever reverie Davis enjoyed ended as officers from Las Vegas Metro’s Criminal Apprehension Team swiftly approached in tactical gear out of unmarked vehicles. “Hey, Keffe,...

Facing a murder charge in the Sept. 7, 1996 shooting death of Tupac Shakur, former California street gang boss Duane Davis received a little good news during his brief arraignment Thursday in a Las Vegas Courtroom.

The State won’t seek the death penalty for what authorities are calling Davis’ role as “shot-caller” in a drive-by shooting a block off the Las Vegas Strip that mortally wounded the 25-year-old Shakur and also wounded Death Row Records godfather Marion “Suge” Knight.

Davis, 60, is charged with first-degree murder with the use of a deadly weapon with a gang enhancement,...

On the night of Sept. 7, 1996, Tupac attended the Mike Tyson vs. Bruce Seldon boxing match at the MGM Grand Casino. The “California Love” artist took in the fight with Knight, who at the time was the head of Death Row Records.

Later that evening Pac, Knight, and others were involved in a brawl with Compton Crip...

Jada Pinkett Smith has opened up about the arrest of Duane “Keffe D” Davis in connection to the 1996 shooting death of Tupac Shakur. The actress and Shakur were close friends who met one another when they were both students at Baltimore School of the Arts. Smith updated her Instagram Story with a simple message that read, “Now I hope we can get some answers and have some closure. R.I.P. Pac.”

Shakur was shot four times on Sept. 7, 1996, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The rapper and poet had recently left a boxing match in the city and was sitting in the car when he was hit. He ultimately died from his injuries on Sept. 13 of that year.

Davis has never denied being inside the white Cadillac that pulled up next to Shakur, but has insisted he was seated in the front passenger seat and that the shots were fired from the car’s back seat.

Tupac Shakur’s sister has called the charge of a gang leader with his murder “a pivotal moment.”

Sekyiwa Shakur posted on her social media her feelings following the indictment on Friday of Duane “Keffe” Davis on one count of murder.

Sekyiwa wrote that “”today is a victory” but “reserved judgement” until legal proceedings had been completed.

She said: “It’s important to me that the world, the country, the justice system, and our people acknowledge the gravity of the passing of this man, my brother, my mother’s son, my father’s son.

“There have been multiple hands involved and there remains so much surrounding the life and death of my brother Tupac and our Shakur family overall. We are seeking real justice, on all fronts.”

Her words follow those of Tupac’s step-brother Mopreme Shakur, who told CNN:

“We have been through decades of pain. They have known about this guy,...

Following the arrest of Duane “Keffe D” Davis on Friday in connection to the fatal drive-by shooting of Tupac Shakur in 1996, Shakur’s sister and Jada Pinkett Smith spoke on the “pivotal moment.”

Sekyiwa ‘Set’ Shakur, who is president of The Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation, shared in a statement that while the arrest was a victory, she is reserving judgment “until all the facts and legal proceedings are complete.”

“This is no doubt a pivotal moment. The silence of the past 27 years surrounding this case has spoken loudly in our community,...

Duane Davis, a former gang member known as Keffe D, was indicted on one count of murder with a deadly weapon by a Nevada grand jury Friday.

The victim: Tupac Shakur.

It’s a case that has made national headlines since 1996 when it took place and has been the subject of a multitude of documentaries and scripted projects.

Dear Mama: The Saga of Afeni and Tupac Shakur, directed by Allen Hughes, one-time friend and one-time foe of Tupac’s, was the most high-profile recent series, having premiered in April. The series focuses on Tupac’s relationship with his mother Afeni, a Black Panther activist, rather than his death.

Hughes told Deadline that today was a “great day for the family.”

He revealed that when he was pitching the project around Hollywood, he had a different subtitle: This Is Not A Murder Investigation.

“[Dear Mama] was very matter of fact, very frank about what happened.

Duane “Keffe D” Davis‘ own words to the press — and in his memoir — “reinvigorated” the Tupac Shakur’s murder case five years ago, Las Vegas police said in a press conference Friday. Davis was charged with one count of murder with use of a deadly weapon, with a gang enhancement.

“Davis was the shot-caller for this group of individuals that committed this crime, and he orchestrated the plan that was carried out,” Sheriff Kevin McMahill said Friday, adding that it took “decades” to get to the bottom of the 27-year-old case.

The investigation into rapper Tupac Shakur‘s 1996 murder continues as police continue to search for answers nearly 30 years later.

The Las Vegas Metro Police confirmed to Et that a search warrant was served at a home in Henderson, Nevada Monday as part of the ongoing investigation into Shakur’s death. The Lvmpd declined to comment further.

Shakur was shot multiple times in Las Vegas in 1996 while leaving a boxing match at the MGM Grand Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip.

The “Dear Mama” rapper was in a car with Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight when a white Cadillac pulled up beside them and began shooting out of the back window, killing Shakur.

While authorities believed at the time that the 25-year-old rapper was the intended target of the shooting, the investigation remains unsolved, with police continuing to search for answers as to who killed the Grammy-nominated musician.

A new episode of the Wtf Happened to This Horror Movie? video series has been released this morning, and in this episode we’re looking back at one of the least popular films to be directed by the legendary John Carpenter: the 2001 release Ghosts of Mars (watch it Here). Why didn’t Ghosts of Mars turn out to be another Carpenter classic? We try to figure that out in the video embedded above.

Directed by Carpenter from a script he wrote with Larry Sulkis, Ghosts of Mars has the following synopsis: Long inhabited by human settlers, the Red Planet has become the manifest destiny of an over-populated Earth. Nearly 640,000 people now live and work all over Mars, mining the planet for its abundant natural resources. But one of those mining operations has uncovered a deadly mother lode: a long-dormant Martian civilization whose warriors are systematically taking over the bodies of human intruders.
