A breakthrough has emerged in the long-standing mystery surrounding the 1996 drive-by shooting that claimed the life of the legendary rapper Tupac Shakur, also spelled 2Pac. The Associated Press has reported that a Nevada grand jury has formally indicted Duane “Keffe D” Davis, aged 60, in connection with the tragic event. This significant development was announced by prosecutors on Friday, September 29.
In a remarkable twist, Davis had long been on the radar of investigators due to his own admissions, both in numerous interviews and in his revealing 2019 memoir titled “Compton Street Legend.” In his memoir, he openly confessed to being present in the Cadillac from which the fatal shots were fired on September 7, 1996, leading to the untimely demise of Shakur. At the time of the incident, Shakur was 25 years old.

Notably, Reggie Wright Jr., who had served as the head of security for Death Row Records, raised suspicions last year regarding heightened activity surrounding the 2Pac murder case. He speculated that authorities were intensifying their efforts to solve the case and even remarked that “Keefe D [has] been having the runs for the last two weeks… because yeah, they are knocking on doors and there’s some activity.”
Adding another layer to the unfolding story, Las Vegas police executed a search warrant at a residence linked to Davis in mid-July. The warrant explicitly stated that they were searching for items related to the murder of Tupac Shakur. During the raid, authorities seized multiple computers, a cellphone, a hard drive, a Vibe magazine featuring Shakur, several .40-caliber bullets, two containers with photographs, and a copy of Davis’ memoir.
At the time of his tragic demise, Tupac Shakur had just released his fourth solo album, “All Eyez on Me.” This groundbreaking album continued to dominate the charts, selling an astounding 5 million copies and receiving six Grammy Award nominations.
The indictment of Duane “Keffe D” Davis marks a significant step forward in the quest for justice surrounding the murder of Tupac Shakur, a legendary figure in the world of hip-hop whose legacy continues to influence and inspire artists and fans worldwide.

May 17, 2024On Friday, May 17, CNN obtained footage showing Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs physically assaulting his former girlfriend and Bad Boy artist, Cassie, at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles.
The surveillance footage, dating back to 2016, shows Diddy chasing Ventura, who was seen standing at a set of elevators, and proceed to grab and shove her to the ground. He then kicks her, and takes what appears to be her purse and suitcase from the floor. Diddy then drags her by her sweater towards a room. Ventura is later seen slowly getting up and collecting items from the floor.

Diddy returns moments later, sits on a chair, grabs an object off a table, and throws it at Ventura. He is then seen walking away, but turns back toward Ventura when an elevator door opens and someone exits.
Ventura’s attorney, Douglas H. Wigdor, told CNN: “The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs. Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”
In November, Cassie, born Cassandra Ventura, initiated legal proceedings against Diddy, born Sean Combs, alleging years of control, rape, and prolonged physical abuse spanning over a decade. The two parties reached a settlement 24 hours later.

Akademiks, born Livingston Allen, has been sued for sexual assault, rape, and defamation.
The civil suit, filed by his ex-girlfriend Ziya Abashe in Essex County, NJ, on Monday, accuses Akademiks of rape and defamation. According to her attorney Tyrone Blackburn, the suit states that in July 2022, Akademiks invited Abashe to his house, where two of his male friends allegedly drugged her, got her drunk, and raped her.
The lawsuit further alleges that Abashe woke up naked in what she believed to be Mr. Allen’s bedroom around 4 a.m., where she was savagely attacked by Mr. Allen, who allegedly pulled her hair, pried open her legs, and brutally raped her.
Abashe claims to have seen video footage of the incident from surveillance cameras at the property. She also stated that Akademiks asked her to get tested afterward, saying he would do the same. The survivor reported taking a rape kit and making an audio recording of Akademiks discussing the act, as directed by the police.
“I look crazy right now but I’m not going to stand here and let this man continue to lie about me. That’s not what happened Akademiks, you know that’s not what happened,” she said during an Instagram Live in 2023.
Rolling Stone, who first reported the lawsuit, reached out to Akademiks who has not responded for comment.
