Prosecutors Cite Alleged Diddy Hit on Tupac, Try to Block Keefe D's Release | TMZ Live

00:00The Tupac murder case just got way more salacious because now Diddy's name has been brought up by prosecutors.
00:08How does Diddy play into this?
00:10Well, people who have been following the case of Keefe D, he is the man who was arrested and has been charged with Tupac's murder.
00:16He's in jail, he is trying to get out on bail and prosecutors want to make the case that he should not be let out.
00:24There's a recording, if you've been following this case closely, there's a recording that has been out on the internet.
00:29It is a conversation between Keefe D and Las Vegas Metro Police from years ago and they're talking about the murder of Tupac.
00:38And on this recording, Keefe D makes an allegation that Diddy offered to pay them $1 million to kill Tupac.
00:48And now prosecutors are bringing that recording up as evidence to say, do not let this guy out of jail.
00:55Because they're suggesting he's a contract killer.
00:58But the real interesting thing about this is, do prosecutors believe that Diddy made that offer?
01:05Because the offer, if they believe it, that offer would be a crime.
01:10So I'll weigh in on this.
01:12We should just mention, I think Charles alluded to this from the beginning.
01:14This interview that Keefe D did with Vegas PD back in the day, it's from 2009.
01:20And this audio recording of this interview where Keefe D claims, yeah, Puffy was offering $1 million, he wanted Tupac's head, blah, blah, blah.
01:27By the way, Keefe D says Puffy allegedly never paid that money, so I don't know if there's anything there.
01:32But the bigger point is, this allegation has been out there in the ether for a while.
01:36Investigators and law enforcement has been aware of this allegation for a while.
01:40It's 2024.
01:42Nothing has ever come of this allegation in terms of charging Diddy, arresting Diddy.
01:46He's dealing with other legal woes right now unrelated to this, obviously.
01:49To Harvey's point, though, I think that they don't think it's actually true.
01:53I mean, look, Keefe D has said a lot about the Tupac murder case over the years.
01:56He's done lots of interviews.
01:57He wrote a book.
01:58I was just about to say, people who want to buy into conspiracy theories certainly believe that, especially considering the beef back then, etc.
02:05But in terms of something official, look, it's 2024.
02:09He did this interview in 2009, and they've been aware of this Diddy tie for years and years and years.
02:13Guess what? The guy's never been charged for it.
02:15But here's the problem with that.
02:16If it's not true, and if he just made it up, that does not make the case to deny him bail.
02:23That the only way to deny him bail is-
02:25No, no, no, no.
02:26No, no, no, hold on.
02:26Let me just make my point.
02:28That what they're insinuating is Keefe D was willing to be a contract killer.
02:34If the premise of that, that there was never a contract and he was just blustering, then they've lost their case to say, because of that, you should deny him bail.
02:44So you're saying that in order for this to work, they have to also-
02:48Believe it.
02:48Believe it?
02:49No, they just have to say, your honor, you have this guy who is speaking to police and by his own admission is saying that he would be a contract killer.
02:58And the judge says-
02:59Is that the type of person you want to let out on the streets?
03:03And the judge says, wait a minute, are you saying that you're co-signing that he believed that, or is the-
03:08And then I say, your honor, that is not what's at issue here.
03:10But it is an issue here.
03:11The matter that we're discussing is whether or not Mr. Davis should be allowed out on bail, and this is why making up stories does not deny you bail.
03:20I think one of the biggest interesting parts are that Keefe initially denied everything he's been saying about these interviews, but now that he's admitting that the whole Diddy thing is true.
03:32So, you know, he's spun a lot of tales from his interviews and his testimonies, and now here we are.
03:38Yeah, at this point, it's hard to know what Keefe Diddy actually believes himself because he's told so many different persons what happened.
03:45This hearing is going to be fascinating to see because the defense is going to- I want to hear if the defense says, your honor, he was just making that crap up.
03:53I mean, he has done that before because then they're going to have to- the rubber is going to meet the road.
03:59My name's Taylor from Seattle, Washington, and as mentioned before, I just think that since there has been a lot of speculation over the years in Diddy's involvement, it's important to remember that these are just theories, while some may believe that he has played a role.
04:14But without concrete evidence, it's difficult to know the truth.
04:18If they've taken this long to investigate Keefe Diddy, right, that was 2009 when they spoke to him.
04:24If you were going to go through all of that to finally arrest him and try him, why wouldn't you also be doing the same exact thing for the guy you believed paid him?
04:33So if they didn't believe it, then the issue is, then why are you using that to deny him bail?
04:38I'm telling you, you can't have it both ways.
04:40All right, so your prediction is that Keefe Diddy is going to get out on bail?
04:44No, I'm not saying that.
04:45I'm just saying that you can't have it both ways this way, and that's what they're asking for.
04:54I'm just saying that you can't have it both ways this way, and that's what they're asking for.
