P Diddy had an “handled” reply to Eminem‘s claim that he put out a hit on Tupac Shakur and it has resurfaced. This has stirred more controversy for the music mogul via US Magazine.
It has been noted that Diddy’s response to the rapper’s 2018 diss track “Killshot,” which tied him to the murder of the late rap icon and it has resurfaced as Diddy is entangled in lawsuits and home raids.
In the song Eminem, 51, rapped: “Kells, the day you put out a hit’s the day Diddy admits that he put the hit out that got Pac killed, ah!” in reference to the infamous 1996 drive-by shooting drive in which the legendary rapper was murdered.
After the release of the track, Diddy, 54, responded in a now-deleted episode of 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, adding: “He said, ‘There’s nothing to say about it.’ 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 came to Diddy’s defense at the time, writing 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 has managed Tupac’s rival the Notorious B.I.G., who was also murdered in a drive-by shooting in the early hours of March 9, 1997, in Los Angeles at age 24.
It is noted that Diddy has long fended off internet trolling and rumors that he had some involvement in Tupac’s death. However, there have been new updates in the murder case.
Last September, Keefe D was arrested and charged with allegedly providing the weapon in Tupac’s slaying. Keefe D’s trial is scheduled for November 4. In the meantime, Diddy has been facing his own legal woes. Meanwhile, Diddy is the subject of a federal sex trafficking investigation. He has denied all the allegations, calling them “sickening.”
