According to TMZ, Tupac’s family is understandably upset at the claim that Diddy may have been involved in the late rapper’s murder. They are currently looking into this with a new legal team, who intends to investigate the matter thoroughly and take legal action if they discover any evidence of Diddy’s involvement.TUPAC’S FAMILY MEMBERS Lawyer Up Over Diddy Claim … PLAN LEGAL ACTION IF EVIDENCE ARISES
Sources with direct knowledge tell us members of Tupac’s still-living relatives have retained attorneys Alex Spiro and Christopher Clore — as well as a team of investigators — to look into Keefe D‘s resurfaced allegation that Diddy offered to pay him and his crew money to take Pac out in the ’90s.
You’ll recall … this claim — which, thus far, is unsubstantiated — came to light anew last week when prosecutors in Keefe D’s murder case included an old transcript from an interview he did in ’09, where he alleged Diddy was willing to pay up to $1 million for a hit on Tupac.TUPAC’S FAMILY MEMBERS Lawyer Up Over Diddy Claim … PLAN LEGAL ACTION IF EVIDENCE ARISESDiddy was never charged over that claim, and we’ve even heard cops in Vegas never took Keefe’s claim to be legit — however, Tupac’s family clearly wants this vetted thoroughly.
