Nearly three decades on, the death of the legendary Tupac Shakur remains a raw wound in the world of hip-hop. The 1996 Las Vegas shooting immortalized Tupac as an icon, but the truth behind his death remains buried deep under a layer of conspiracy theories and silence.

However, just 30 minutes ago, in a surprising court hearing, Suge Knight — the once-famous boss of Death Row Records, who was in the car with Tupac that fateful night — shocked the audience when he declared under oath that Diddy, the so-called “power king” of American rap, and even Diddy’s mother, were involved in Tupac’s death.

According to a leaked testimony, Suge asserted that Tupac’s assassination was not the result of a spontaneous conflict, but a carefully planned, organized plot with the “green light” from the underground forces behind the music industry.
What shocked everyone was the detail that Suge Knight stated: Diddy’s mother not only knew about the story, but was also said to be the “key holder” of the underground deals, ensuring that everything went smoothly so that Diddy would not be directly tainted. During the trial, Suge described secret meetings, thick envelopes, and promises to “take care of everything if everything went well.”

Meanwhile, Diddy’s representative immediately denied the accusations, calling Suge’s testimony “ridiculous” and “blatantly fabricated” to distract the public while Suge himself was serving a long sentence for other crimes. However, many people who have closely followed this case believe that Suge is telling the final truth when he has nothing left to lose.

On social networks, hashtags related to Tupac, Diddy and Suge Knight immediately climbed to the top of the trending list. Fans are divided into two camps: one believes that there is finally a new clue to solve the case; the other sarcastically says that this is just a familiar “drama” trick to prolong attention on the name Suge Knight.

Will Las Vegas police reopen the case that was shelved? Will Diddy be summoned to confront in court? Is Suge’s testimony just the final act of a boss whose time has passed?

All we know is that, right now, public opinion is once again caught up in a whirlwind of suspicion: Who killed Tupac? And why, until now, has the real truth not been revealed?

If everything Suge Knight says is true, it will not only shock the rap world, but also mark the end of the halo of a powerful empire that once controlled American showbiz. If this is just Suge’s last act — then the eternal question “Who killed Tupac?” may never be answered…
