Using audio-taped interrogations as well as statements from a former investigator, a documentary released on iTunes this week attempts to solve one of hip-hop’s oldest mysteries: Who is responsible for the murders of rappers Tupac Shakur and Christopher "The Notorious B.I.G." Wallace?

The film, entitled Murder Rap, by filmmaker Mike Dorsey, features retired Los Angeles Police Department Detective Greg Kading, who says that media mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, one of Biggie Small's closest confidants, took out a hit on Tupac Shakur and his manager, Marion Hugh "Suge" Knight. In retaliation, Kading alleges, Knight paid somebody to kill Wallace.

However, a source close to Combs claims Kading's accusations are baseless.

Kading also insists the murders were solved long ago by the Los Angeles Police Department.

Kading alleges that detectives learned Combs had allegedly hired a Crips gang member named Duane Keith "Keffe D" Davis to kill Shakur and Knight. Combs allegedly agreed to pay Davis $1 million for the hit, Kading says.

On the night of Sept. 7, 1996, Kading claims Keffe D's nephew, Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, gunned down Shakur in Las Vegas; Knight survived the attack.

According to Kading, Knight subsequently hired Bloods gang member Wardell "Poochie" Fouse to kill Biggie in retaliation for $13,000. Biggie was murdered on March 9, 1997, in Los Angeles.

Detective: Combs Wasn't Charged Because He Was a Celebrity

As he does in the film, Kading alleges in an interview with PEOPLE that Los Angeles authorities decided not to charge Combs partly because of his celebrity. They also declined to pursue the case more than five years ago because both of the suspected gunmen were dead, having died in unrelated incidents.

"Suge Knight hired someone to shoot Smalls because he'd heard Biggie was in Las Vegas and provided the gun to the Crips, which was erroneous information," Kading tells PEOPLE.

Kading believes that prior to the murders, Combs was under the impression that Suge Knight was trying to have him killed because Knight believed Combs had something to do with the murder of one of Knight's friends.

"[Combs] was in a precarious situation. He knew he was being hunted down in Los Angeles and he knew Suge held him responsible for the murder of one of his friends. At that point, Suge had already accosted a producer to find out where Combs' house in Los Angeles was."

Combs, according to Kading, "was in a state of desperation and knew that if he didn't take matters into his own hands, he might have been the one murdered. It was a preemptive strike."

oh lawd is this some scripted wookie fodder or what?

Well if Puffy was afraid that Suge had a hit out on him, why'd he get someone to assassinate 2Pac as well?

TIL you can save a bundle by hiring the Bloods

Exactly. If Puff was so scared for being held responsible for someone else's death, how would taking out Pac help that situation?

Now I dont know if all of this is true, but remember...Tupac was under the impression that Biggie and Puff set him up when he was shot outside of their studio in New York, prior to his murder in Vegas. Maybe thats why Puff allegedly tried to take them out.

That's what Tupac thought, for sure. But I still don't understand why Puff would say okay it wasn't me but let me dead him for real,

But if he thought Tupac was after him...

How about what Kid Frost says at 4:47

Any truth to the rumor that Jada knows what hoppen or nah?

Only former lawyer for Suge Knight & Death Row Records, David Kenner, would know who really murder 2pac and why. This is the same Kenner that used to represent members of different crime families years before he was ever hired by Suge Knight.


I say nothing else.

Didn't Suge help Mary J Blige get out of her contract w/ Puffy?

I never heard that. Hats off if Suge helped. Puff helped brand her and make her a star, but whoever manages her now made her a superstar.

No. But Suge definitely tried his best to get Jodeci out of their contract with Uptown Records.

My cousin used to be friends with Suge Knight (they met thru another of Eazy E's bodyguards named Charles); I dont know if this shit is true, but my cousin told me that Suge tried to sign Prince to Death Row when Prince was going thru his nonsense with WB. I almost fainted...my cousin and I laughed our asses off, imagining Prince with the gun microphone, chillin in a Death Row video.

Would going from Puffy to Suge be a frying pan/fire situation though?
