In the recently released documentary, Murder Rap, retired LAPD detective Greg Kading claims that Puff Daddy hired a Crips gang member to kill Tupac during the height of the Bad Boy Entertainment and Death Row Records beef.
Puff Daddy has remained quiet on the subject until today (April 1), when he was asked by The Breakfast Club host Charlamagne to address the reports that he put a hit on Tupac.
“We don’t talk about things that are nonsense,” Diddy says. “We don’t even entertain nonsense, my brother. So we’re not even going to go there, with all due respect. I appreciate you as a journalist asking. Thank you.”
The radio show personality, and his co-hosts Angela Yee and DJ Envy, express appreciation for the Bad Boy Entertainment boss’s honesty and collected response to a controversial topic. Diddy says that he has grown a lot throughout his career and has been making a conscious effort to maintain his composure as he’s grown in the industry.
“I’ma tell you all this, this is very important,” he says. “I got this new hashtag. It’s called New Life. I had to start living a new life, man. The way I was approaching things, the way I was reacting to things, we all grow up. We all do things in ways that maybe you can do better. I’m just trying to figure out ways to do better. I know I’m in the public eye. I gotta handle all types of different stuff. You all have a job to do. It ain’t no problem. But I’m in control of what I say. I don’t get into nonsense. I don’t have nothing but love for everybody. God sent me on this earth to give life, to inspire life, to only do things that are positive. Any negative things that I’ve done, that’s the devil at work. At the end of the day, the devil’s a liar and I can’t feed into negativity or anything like that when I’m in control of myself. So I’ve gotta always be trying to strive and get better.”
In an interview with Pharrell on his OTHERtone radio show in August, Diddy shared similar comments about learning to only spread positivity as he’s journeyed in the music industry.
Puff Daddy Details Honoring The Notorious B.I.G. With Bad Boy Reunion Show
Elsewhere in the interview with The Breakfast Club, Puff Daddy gives a preview of the upcoming Bad Boy reunion show scheduled to be held May 20 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Even though the concert is being promoted as “One Night Only,” Diddy says that there will be more shows in other cities.
“We call it ‘One Night Only’ in each city, or each borough if we decide to push it out,” he says. “That’s really the vibe of it because when you’re dealing with this many people, you don’t know if it’s going to continue. So if you can, you need to get your tickets. It’s not just a concert. It’s a moment in Hip Hop and R&B history. It’s the first time the whole Bad Boy family will be together on one stage together.”
He says that Faith Evans, Lil Kim, Ma$e, The LOX, 112, French Montana, Carl Thomas and the rest of the Bad Boy family, except for Craig Mack, will be present. There was a small reunion at last year’s BET Awards, but Puffy says this show will be bigger. Jay Z and Missy Elliott, whom Diddy calls “extended family that was with us through all the ups and downs and everything,” are also slated to make an appearance.
The show is set to be held the night before The Notorious B.I.G.‘s forty-fourth birthday. Puffy does not shut down the idea of having a Biggie hologram at the show, but won’t reveal exactly how the late rapper will be honored.
“We’re gonna do a very respectful tribute,” he says. “Whatever’s the most respectful tribute that we can give, we’re gonna take that part of the show very, very seriously.”
The Notorious B.I.G. died March 9, 1997 after being shot outside a Los Angeles party. Diddy reflects on what the rapper would have accomplished were he still alive.
“He’d definitely be doing his thing,” he says. “I think he would’ve stopped rapping by now and and been just really a businessman.”
He references the fact that Biggie convinced him, as an executive, to allow him to go and start his own imprint, Undeas, with Lance “Un” Rivera.
“We were very protective about our relationship,” he says of his work with Biggie. “We really separated the two. I wasn’t really involved in his other business or anything like that. If anything, I motivated him to go and do that over there because it was like his own individual imprint and if that was his dream, I didn’t want to overshadow that dream.”
Puff Daddy says he feels a great sense of pride about bringing Bad Boy Entertainment to the stage in Brooklyn.
“It’s going to be a moment in history because this is the first and only time that we’ve ever been in Brooklyn,” he says. “There’s so much heritage and history. It’s Biggie’s birthday. You’re talking about 20 years of hits, man. Hits that celebrate the culture of this city, everything that we was brought up on, the fabric of our hustle and everything that we represent is gonna be on there.”

For additional Puff Daddy coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
Well damn, he’s hiding something. Look at that body language. Shit made him super uncomfortable. Reminds me of when they asked French Montana about filming DJ Khaled’s moms and he danced around the question unlike Diddy who outright refused to talk about the claims. Having the deaths of Big and Pac on your conscience cant be easy.
Too bad he had on those sunglasses inside or we could have looked into his soul through his eyes and saw the truth and pain.
If we didn’t blame our own flaws on the devil, and we were pro-active instead of leaving things “in God’s hands”, we’d all be better, stronger, wiser, and more productive people.
You got him popped… He would have done it to you first tho. kill or be killed.
AYO DX, you gotta post that Hamburger Helper Album they put out for April Fools Day, shit goes super hard!

That new Hamburger Helper album is hotter than anything Diddy has made in 16 years.
HE FULL OF SHIT IT’S NOT ABOUT BIGGIE IT’S ABOUT HIM I DON’T BELIEVE HE GOT PAC MURKED DIS NIGGA HAS NO TRUTH IN HIM DA STREETS KNOW HE WAS RUNNIN WIT CRIPS TOO MANY CRIPS AIRED HIS BITCH ASS OUT
Anybody that actually believes that Puff hired goons or whatnot to get Tupac killed is a fucking idiot. End of story.
Is that you Fonzworth Bentley?
You must be dumber than the police who investigated. If it was a lie then diddy could have sued the cop s punk ass
LOL
i wish i was already dead too. my health ain’t what it used to be no more.
why not live for a living
cuz livin’ is painful.
water whippin and im stirring
How come he never mentions Black Rob or Shyne when he makes these announcements? And again not Craig Mack
Ain’t shyne in Paris or some chit? Lol dat dude cant come back to the states. Hiz dum azz is banned.
The guy that shot pac is in jail, and he already released his statements regarding the shooting and who hired him. He said it was Puffy, the transcript is all over the Internet. The guy grew up with Suge Knight in the same neighborhood but he was a crip. Also his nephew is the one that got beat up after the Tyson fight. Puffy is talking like he really regrets what hes doing and all this LIVE LIFE and IM GIVING LIFE bullshit sounds like he did it.
The devil didn’t make you pick up that Kettlebell You silly fuck.
By the way, your as innocent as OJ.
mahfuckka wearing glasses inside an shit,
he lyin
Sounds like he pretty much told on himself. But I don’t know and at this point I don’t care enough. He has to live with that if he did.
so in other words.. he did it if he didnt that convo would of went differently
Did he just dodge the question and then proceed to blame anything bad he has done on the devil and then call the devil a liar? This MF totally had pac killed lol wtf
Yeah he pretty must said he did it lol but who cares #newlife
Pac is dead, let him rest in peace.
some people talk crap on here.. isn’t it bout time 2pac rested in peace. I dont believe for a second that puffy put a hit on him. No more than I believe that 2pac is still alive.. get real people
There is sum thing called evidence. You must have not seen the documentary
He strays away from the question of course. Playing it off when deep down inside he knows he’s responsible for the murder of pac. He got away with it and he knows it.
true and it wasnt suge knight because suge said why would he shoot some one when he already knew the bullet was going to come from someone else so it was P diddy
His name was Robert Paulson
That absolutely sounds like a confession… A nervous fucking confession.
The breakfast club are some kiss ass bitches.the evidence is there in black and white and a confession by keffe d..puff did it..puff and suge should be in the ground not 2pac and biggie..RIP THE GREATEST EVER!!
i hope he get murked too. he deserve it.

Hope he gets cut up

Bullsh response. The fact is some of us think u killed our fav rapper. U get no respect. And effen shits on puffy juice. Fuck this clown. Been letting your fake ass eat too long. He a sponge.
Of course he did
Of course he wouldn’t admit it. Who wants to spend their life in jail. But the streets and pretty much the world knows he had something to do with it. That’s something he will have to take up with the Lord. The murder rap thing was just a documentary on what the streets already knew
the case was already closed in 2005 so even if he did admit to it he would go to jail
no
Hey Buffy, you know it’s going to be a Pac fan that ends up putting you down right? No need to watch out for who’s red or blue, this side or that side, Pac fans are all colors baby, and we all over the world.
well the LAPD knows who did it but there covering it up for reasons that i dont know but
its some bs that they closed the case in 2005 🙁 #newlife bitch knew life my ass you know you killed him
We still got this piece of shit walking freely
We got this piece of shit walking freely where is justice for tupac death?
Holy fucking the response he gives is the greatest non-answer in the history of bullshit.. and the article just eats it right up. It literally goes “did you kill pac?” “My brother im all about positivity” “ok lets talk about this bad boy reunion thing for 50 minutes.”.
What a LOOOOOaaaaaaddd of fucking crap. JUSTICE FOR PAC IN THIS LIFE OR THE NEXT PUFFY.
I believe that diddy Puff did paid them hitman kill 2 pac and biggie I against him Diddy Puff jealous of 2 pac/ biggie large money… New update my lawyer under federal sue Diddy Puff and judge send him jail lifetime very soon
