50 Cent Trolls Diddy as Tupac Murder Trial Revisits Allegations of $1 Million Bounty

50 Cent wasted no time capitalizing on fresh courtroom drama this week, mocking longtime rival Sean “Diddy” Combs on social media after testimony in Duane “Keefe D” Davis’s ongoing murder trial resurfaced a decades-old claim regarding an alleged $1 million bounty on Tupac Shakur.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the G-Unit founder shared a clip from the Clark County District Court proceedings in Las Vegas, adding his signature brand of commentary: “WTF 🥷🏿 tell everything SMH Zip got low wit the bread 😆.”

1. Resurfaced 2008 Proffer Claims

The latest jab stems from a 2008 recorded police interview (proffer agreement) played directly for the jury on Thursday, where Keefe D claimed Diddy sought to place a hit on Tupac Shakur and Death Row Records founder Marion “Suge” Knight:

• The Alleged Offer: In the recordings, Keefe D claimed Diddy told him, “Man, I want to get rid of them dudes,” to which Keefe D purportedly replied: “We’ll wipe their ass out, quick. It’s nothing… We wanted a million.”

• The “Zip” Reference: 50 Cent’s remark referred to the late Eric “Von Zip” Martin, a Harlem figure who Keefe D claimed introduced him to Diddy and supplied the handgun used in the 1996 Las Vegas drive-by shooting. Keefe D previously alleged that Martin acted as an intermediary and kept the promised bounty money for himself—prompting 50 Cent to joke that Martin ran off with the cash.

2. Keefe D Recants Past Statements

Despite prosecutors leaning heavily on previous interviews and his published memoir, Keefe D and his defense team argue that his prior claims were fabricated:

• A “Script” for Freedom: Prior to the trial, Keefe D claimed to FOX5 that his earlier confessions were coerced by previous legal counsel: “My lawyer gave me a script to read. He said that’s the only way you’re going home. So I read the script.”

• Challenging Evidence: Defense attorney Michael Sanft pushed back against the state’s reliance on past recordings, demanding prosecutors show concrete physical facts corroborating Keefe D’s public storytelling.

3. Longstanding Denials and Current Legal Standings

Diddy has vehemently denied any connection to Tupac Shakur’s 1996 killing for decades, previously dismissing the claims as “pure fiction and completely ridiculous.”

• Diddy’s Legal Status: Combs is currently serving a 50-month sentence at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey on federal charges related to transporting individuals for prostitution, following an acquittal on racketeering and sex trafficking counts.

• The Trial Ahead: Keefe D has pleaded not guilty to murder with a deadly weapon with the intent to promote a criminal gang. Proceedings in Nevada are expected to last approximately six weeks.

As the high-profile trial continues in Las Vegas, 50 Cent’s social media antics highlight how deeply embedded the 1990s hip-hop feuds remain in modern pop culture commentary.
