Eminem has once again stirred the pot in the hip-hop world with explosive allegations on his latest release, per suggest.com. The Detroit-based artiste’s deluxe version of The Death of Slim Shady features a remix of his hit track “Fuel,” where he boldly accuses music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs of involvement in the infamous murders of rap titans Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G.
On the remix, which features collaborations with Westside Boogie and Grip, Eminem doesn’t hold back, delivering a verse that directly implicates Diddy: “Notorious B.I.G.’s death was the domino effect of Tupac’s murder / Like facial tissue, whose clock should I clean next? Puff’s? / ‘Til he’s in police handcuffs, guilty, will he step up?”
This controversial allegation comes on the heels of recent legal developments surrounding Tupac Shakur’s murder case. Court filings reveal that Diddy was mentioned over 70 times in relation to the case, following testimony from Duane “Keefe D” Davis, the man currently facing prosecution for Shakur’s murder.
The filings contain explosive claims, including allegations that Diddy offered $1 million for Shakur’s assassination in 1996. Transcripts of interviews with Keefe D suggest that Diddy had reached out personally, expressing willingness to pay for a hit on Tupac.
These revelations have reignited interest in the unsolved murders that rocked the hip-hop community in the 1990s. The East Coast-West Coast rivalry, which culminated in the deaths of Shakur in September 1996 and The Notorious B.I.G. in March 1997, has long been a subject of speculation and controversy.
