Tony Brewski
With Tony Brewski, Stacy Cole and Todd Michaels. The Netflix documentary doesn't just accuse Diddy of abuse and exploitation, it goes straight at the two biggest unsolved murders in hip history. Former LAPD detective Greg Kading appears on camera. Keefe D's 2008 and 2009 police interviews are played in which he claims Diddy offered a million dollars to have Tupac and Suge Knight killed. Kirk Burrows says on camera that he believes Diddy had a lot to do with the death of Tupac and ushered Biggie to his death. Meanwhile, Keefe D is sitting in a Nevada jail awaiting trial. Now pushed to August 26, facing first degree murder charges for Tupac shooting. He's named Diddy 47 times in court documents, and prosecutors in Las Vegas have reportedly decided not to pursue Diddy as a witness or subject in that case. So where does this actually stand? Is there Any world in which Diddy faces criminal charges related to either murder case with us. Eric Faddis DEFENSE ATTORNEY FORMER PROSECUTOR yeah, I mean, forced. Back in the 90s, back in 96, 97, there was rumblings. Did he have something to do with it now? I mean, look, we got a lot of shit here now. There's a lot of people, there's witnesses, there's documentation. There's. I mean, and there's lack of, too. But I don't know, take the word Tupac and Biggie out of this. If this were any other murder case and you have this accusation that this person ordered this hit, and then there's. I don't know if they can find. They can trace the money trail at this point. Probably doubtfully. But, I mean, is it weird that Diddy has not been seriously looked at in terms of. From a legal perspective in this case? I mean, Keefe D's on trial, gonna be on trial for the murder here. Seems like Diddy was in that world too.
Stacy Cole
Yeah, Tony. And it's certainly possible that there could be some criminal exposure for Diddy. One thing that potentially cuts against that is the timeline of all of this. You know, as you know, the murders happened in the 90s. Keefe, my understanding is the first time he started talking about Diddy, at least in a videotaped interview that I've seen, was 2008. That was almost two decades ago. And they didn't do anything then. They didn't, or at least they didn't pursue Diddy and charge him at that point. Now, you do have more coming out. You have Burroughs coming out talking on camera. You have some documentation, that kind of thing. But if they were gonna do it, the government really should have honed in back when that information was fresh and it wasn't two decades old. The fact that it's been this long of a. That causes potential legal problems and makes it less likely that Diddy would be charged or ultimately convicted for these alleged acts.
Shipstation Advertiser
What about a civil lawsuit from the families? Would that give them a lower burden of proof to go after?
Stacy Cole
That's so there. There's trade offs in the civil system. One benefit is, like you said, Stacey, lower burden of proof. You only have to prove it's more likely than not that a person caused a wrongful death. However, the big hurdle which might be fatal, the statute of limitations. So unlike in a criminal murder case, where there's usually no statute of limitations, you can bring the case, you know, 50 years after it happened, in a civil wrongful death context, you're usually looking at three to five years within which you must bring that case. And we are years and years beyond that.
Tony Brewski
We passed that a little while ago. Reports indicate that Las Vegas prosecutors decided not to pursue Diddy as a witness or subject in the, the Tupac case. They apparently couldn't find corroborating evidence from Keefe D's claims. Okay, that's where it's been sitting. But we just had the Keefe D trial now pushed back even further now into August of next year because there's more, more discovery to be gone through. Is there anything to be read into with this? The fact that it keeps getting pushed back, the fact that we're learning more and more of these allegations about. And again, it's all that he made, did he maintains his innocence in all of this. Could there be things here, could there be pieces that they still have yet to get to in discovery or are looking at very closely that could relate to Sean Combs? Or is this just all, you know, a case with other pieces of evidence that need to be gone through that are not related in any way, shape or form?
Stacy Cole
Well, it's, you know, I can only speculate and it could just be that there were normal delays within the draw, within the court process. On the other hand, I've seen cases where a murder is alleged and we're getting on the eve of trial and all of a sudden the person wants to talk, they want to cooperate, they want to provide more information, perhaps disclose more witnesses, perhaps talk about where other physical items could be that are related to these allegations. And then sometimes what happens is both the side, the prosecutor and defense attorney go into court and sometimes they'll even go up to the bench and do a non public bench conference where they'll tell the judge, hey, this guy is actually going to forward and be a cooperating witness with prosecution. But we need another six months in order to pursue what we want to pursue. The judge will say, hey, let's kick it down the road and if this results in some substantial justice later, so be it. I can't say that that's what happened, but that's what's happening here. But I've seen that pattern in other cases.
Tony Brewski
If there was anything to the accusations against Diddy and Tupac and Biggie.
Ghostbed Advertiser
Would.
Tony Brewski
They have discovered that in the federal investigation that we just went through in the federal trial that he was found innocent of so many charges on? I mean, obviously they were looking at very different type things. They weren't looking at murder. But I'm just Wondering sometimes when you're investigating, you come across other shit like by accident. And then that leads to new charges that really had nothing to do with the original. But they did a deep dive on the man. From a federal standpoint, at least we assume they did. If there was anything to it, do you think that. That something strong would have already surfaced?
Stacy Cole
I can't help but wonder if those. And that. That federal criminal litigation, you know, it spanned the investigation span, decades of allegations. And I wonder if they, they may have come across something and they may have looked at it and said, hey, this is such a massive undertaking to try and add in some kind of murder charge from. From the late 90s for this prominent rapper that we think we got enough as it is and we're going to go with what we have because the alternative would be extending this years. So it's possible that they acquired some information and made a sort of a strategic decision. Hey, we think we have enough anyway to put this guy away. We're not going to blow this thing up entirely. So, yeah, that's possible.
Tony Brewski
Interesting. Like there may be, I would imagine there's a file somewhere with some information in, but maybe not enough to do much with. But that's not to say that more information couldn't come to it later.
Stacy Cole
Yeah, right. And perhaps the information would have required such a massive undertaking. Substantial resources, years of investigating dozens of witnesses that they said, hey, and sometimes that they'll send that information to other jurisdictions in which a charge could be brought. They'll say, hey, we can't jump on this right now, but if y' all want to jump on it, do it. And who knows, those practices happen.
Tony Brewski
There's some accusations in here that would, you know, you would say they're circumstantial. They don't, you know, tie Diddy directly to the murder. If anything, they tie Diddy to being, you know, a cheap asshole more than a murderer. Of the accusation of. Okay, you know, we said that we're gonna take care of this funeral. We get the bill. Oh, we're gonna charge that to you back to Diddy. And that's been disputed too. It's been disputed from the other side saying, no, that never happened. And then people say, well, it was the way that the charges were in there. It wasn't like a line item of like Biggie's big ass funeral. It was added in other ways and padded in there. So that's pretty shitty. But then you also have the allegation that Burroughs makes that Diddy pushed for Bigg in Los Angeles, which ultimately led to his death in territory just six months after Tupac's murder, where it was not a great idea for anybody of that ilk to be in that specific setting. There was a lot of hate at that moment in time and the violence was very, very real. But he wanted to push for it. Biggie didn't wanna be there, but he pushed for him to stay there. And then he got killed again. It's a shitty move, but it could also be a shitty move of a record executive going, we need to get our sales up over in la. Better stick around and push the product.
Stacy Cole
That's the thing is a lot of the allegations in this documentary that pertain to business, if they are true, they prove that Diddy is a scoundrel when it comes to business activities. But that being said, he's got potential defenses on that. Like you said, he's a promoter, right. So he's got to promote Biggie. And perhaps in his mind, the strategy at the time was, hey, let's have a dust up. Let's stir some stuff up out here on the west coast that's going to generate more attention, perhaps more album sales. He didn't, he didn't know that Diggy would get killed, but certainly with Little Rodney, I think is his name, and some of the other alleged business associates who claim Diddy just screwed them out of everything. I feel bad for those folks if that's true.
Shipstation Advertiser
Biggie could have, couldn't he have left? I mean, he was of free will, so we think.
Tony Brewski
Yeah, I mean, allegedly. Same way like an abused wife could leave the relationship.
Ghostbed Advertiser
Good point, good point.
Tony Brewski
You know, I mean, he's under contract. He's under contract to promote the albums. There's, it's, if you, if you want to do what you're doing, you got to keep doing this, like it or not. So, I mean, yeah, in theory, but, you know. Yeah, yeah.
Stacy Cole
I mean, to do briefly, to Stacy's point, like, you know, some of these artists are not sophisticated in the business world and so they don't exactly know and they're, they're getting information from their handlers and managers and promoters and they're, they're accepting it's, you know, with, with faith and perhaps that was part of. How did. He directed all of this happening?
Tony Brewski
Yeah, yeah. Is this a very interesting inside, a very interesting spotlight now being shown in areas that we've, we've never really seen before of this case and in areas that I don't think we ever thought we would see, especially 30 years later, it's it's quite compelling and very interesting to watch.

Host: Tony Brueski
Guests: Stacey Cole, Todd Michaels
Date: December 16, 2025
This episode investigates whether Sean "P Diddy" Combs could ever face criminal charges in the infamous, unsolved murders of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. (Biggie Smalls). With the resurgence of public interest propelled by a Netflix documentary and new statements from key figures, host Tony Brueski and legal analysts Stacy Cole and Todd Michaels discuss the allegations, the likelihood of criminal or civil liability, and the complexity of seeking justice decades after the crimes.

— Stacy Cole [08:50–09:15]
On the Freshness of Evidence:
“If this were any other murder case… If this person ordered this hit... if they can trace the money trail at this point, probably doubtfully. But is it weird that Diddy has not been seriously looked at…”
— Tony Brueski [04:54–06:01]
On the Public Fascination:
“A very interesting spotlight now being shown in areas that we’ve never really seen before of this case and in areas that I don’t think we ever thought we would see, especially 30 years later—it’s quite compelling.”
— Tony Brueski [15:11]

The episode paints a complex portrait of Diddy amid fresh, explosive allegations, highlighting the immense legal and practical hurdles to ever seeing criminal charges brought for Tupac’s or Biggie’s murders. While the Netflix documentary breathes new life into longstanding rumors and introduces new witness statements, legal experts agree that time, evidence issues, and strategic prosecutorial decisions make charges against Diddy highly unlikely. Still, the ongoing fascination with hip-hop’s greatest unsolved crimes endures, fueled by emerging details and the unrelenting search for truth.
