Why Keffe D's Diddy Claims Might Not Survive

Tupac Shakur's murder just got a verdict, and it's not the one Duane “Keffe D” Davis's own defense team was hoping for. A Las Vegas jury took roughly three hours to convict Davis of first-degree murder — after his lawyers spent almost two of those hours in closing arguments trying to undo eighteen years of Davis talking. A 2008 federal proffer. A 2009 police interview. A 2017 documentary. A 2019 memoir sold as the unfiltered truth. Prosecutors never recovered a weapon, never found the Cadillac, never pulled phone records or surveillance. They didn't need to. Davis had already told the story himself, repeatedly, on the record. The jury believed him enough to convict. His own attorneys argued he'd been lying the entire time. Both can't be fully true, and that's the mess this verdict leaves behind — because Davis is also the source of the biggest name attached to this case outside his own: Sean “Diddy” Combs, who Davis has accused since 2008 of offering a million dollars for the hit. Combs has denied it. Police have said he's never been named a suspect. And the people who could independently back up or shoot down Davis's version are dead — his alleged Harlem contact, the other men said to be in that Cadillac, all gone. Davis faces life in prison at sentencing and says he'll appeal. He's also asked for his phone and laptop back. What he does with either one, and what it means for the Diddy allegation he's spent eighteen years repeating, is where this story goes next.
