According to TMZ, Tupac’s family is understandably upset at the claim that Diddy may have been involved in the late rapper’s murder. They are currently looking into this with a new legal team, who intends to investigate the matter thoroughly and take legal action if they discover any evidence of Diddy’s involvement.TUPAC’S FAMILY MEMBERS Lawyer Up Over Diddy Claim … PLAN LEGAL ACTION IF EVIDENCE ARISES
Sources with direct knowledge tell us members of Tupac’s still-living relatives have retained attorneys Alex Spiro and Christopher Clore — as well as a team of investigators — to look into Keefe D‘s resurfaced allegation that Diddy offered to pay him and his crew money to take Pac out in the ’90s.
You may remember that last week, prosecutors in Keefe D’s murder case revealed an old transcript from an interview he conducted in 2009, in which he said Diddy was willing to pay up to $1 million for a hit on Tupac. This claim has not been verified to this point.TUPAC’S FAMILY MEMBERS Lawyer Up Over Diddy Claim … PLAN LEGAL ACTION IF EVIDENCE ARISES
Diddy was never charged over that claim, and we’ve even heard cops in Vegas never took Keefe’s claim to be legit — however, Tupac’s family clearly wants this vetted thoroughly.
We are informed that the family believes there may be merit to this allegation, and with the help of the legal team they have hired, they hope to uncover any supporting documentation. Meanwhile, Spiro and Clore are determined to follow up on any lead they come across.TUPAC’S FAMILY MEMBERS Lawyer Up Over Diddy Claim … PLAN LEGAL ACTION IF EVIDENCE ARISES
Our sources say the Diddy allegation will be the main focus of this private investigation — and we’re told the team is confident they’ll surface potential evidence, including more legal docs.
If they do … we’re told any material that implicates Diddy in alleged wrongdoing will be passed on to the proper authorities to be looked into for possible criminal charges — and we should say, there’s no statute of limitations on murder.
If nothing comes about on the criminal front … we’re told Tupac’s family would potentially look into filing a wrongful death suit — again, assuming they uncover evidence to do so.TUPAC’S FAMILY MEMBERS Lawyer Up Over Diddy Claim … PLAN LEGAL ACTION IF EVIDENCE ARISES
Worth noting … Diddy has explicitly denied any involvement in Tupac’s murder a handful of times over the years — and he’s never been arrested as it pertains to this years-old rumor. Nonetheless … Tupac’s family wants to clear the air on this once and for all.
One last thing … Spiro has a history of working on cold cases like this — including the Robert Durst case and the “Tiger King” case — so he’s coming into this fairly seasoned. Time will tell what comes of it.TUPAC’S FAMILY MEMBERS Lawyer Up Over Diddy Claim … PLAN LEGAL ACTION IF EVIDENCE ARISES
