The family members of the late Tupac Shakur has actually worked with New York lawyer Alex Spiro to explore a claimed web link in between the rap artist’s fatality and Sean “Diddy” Combs, Billboard can validate.

Since after that, the claimed link in between both has actually shown up in popular culture, most just recently in Eminem’s 2024 cooperation with JID, “Fuel,” in which he raps, “Notorious B.I.G.’s death was the domino effects of Tupac’s murder, like facial tissue, who’s clock should I clean next? Puff’s? ‘Til he’s in police handcuffs, guilty, will he step up?”
