Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ strange reply to Eminem‘s accusation that he ordered a hit on Tupac Shakur has caused more controversy for the music mogul. Diddy’s response to the rapper’s 2018 diss track “Killshot,” linking him to the murder of Tupac, has resurfaced amidst legal issues and investigations.

Eminem, who is 51 years old, included a line in his song where he rapped about a controversial topic. He mentioned a famous rapper named Diddy, who is 54 years old, and made a reference to a tragic event involving another legendary rapper, Tupac Shakur, who was killed in a drive-by shooting in 1996.

After the song was released, Diddy responded to Eminem's lyrics in a video that was later deleted from Joe Budden's YouTube series.

During his guest appearance, he shared a very cryptic reaction, telling listeners that the situation with Eminem was “handled” privately. He mentioned that Eminem said, ‘There’s nothing to say about it,’ and added, ‘It’s in my hands. He wild.’

Eminem later claimed that the lyrics were a joke. According to reports by a British entertainment magazine, rapper Jay Electronica defended Diddy at the time. He wrote via X: “How dare you accuse Diddy of killing Tupac… You best tread carefully, son, before I come tear your ivory tower down like Sulaiman done the Templar Knights.”

Diddy was the manager of the Notorious B.I.G., Tupac's rival, who was tragically killed in a drive-by shooting on March 9, 1997, in Los Angeles at the young age of 24. Despite facing internet trolling and rumors, Diddy has consistently denied any involvement in Tupac's death.

Diddy and eminem beef ignited

There have been new updates in the murder case involving Tupac. Keefe D was arrested last September and charged with allegedly providing the weapon used in Tupac’s slaying. His trial is set for November 4. Meanwhile, Diddy is dealing with his own legal issues.

Diddy is under investigation for federal sex trafficking but he has denied all accusations, calling them “sickening.”

On March 25, news came out that Homeland Security had raided his properties in Los Angeles and Miami. The raids were part of an ongoing federal sex trafficking investigation, according to the law enforcement agency.

Diddy was not present during the raids, but it was reported that his sons King, 26, and Justin, 30, were at home. According to TMZ, both King and Justin were taken into custody by the police but were later released.

Diddy has not faced any charges or arrests related to the investigation, and his lawyer has denied his involvement. On the other hand, King is currently facing a lawsuit for sexual assault.

A woman filed a new lawsuit on Thursday, April 4, in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The lawsuit claims that King sexually assaulted her while she was working on a yacht chartered by his music mogul father for a trip in 2022.

The lawyer representing King criticized the attorney representing the woman who accused King of assault.

Aaron Dyer advised the public to approach the potential lawsuit with caution, specifically mentioning the lawyer of the accuser, Tyrone Blackburn, who also represents Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones. Earlier this year, Lil Rod filed a lawsuit against Diddy, alleging sex trafficking and sexual assault.

In a statement to We, Dyer mentioned, “We have not yet seen the claim from this woman, but we anticipate similar fabricated lies... much like what we saw in Rodney Jones’ lawsuit, which has not been officially presented.”
