Tupac Shakur’s murder case of 1996 reopening
Tupac Shakur was shot in a drive-by in Los Angeles on September 7th, 1996. He passed 6 days later, on September 13th. The case went unsolved until former gang leader Duane Davis, “Keefe D,” was arrested in September 2023 and charged with murder.

All Conspiracies made in Comb’s name
Many accusations and conspiracy theories have been made across social media platforms including celebrities such as; Michael Jackson, Aaliyah, Left Eye, Eminem, Kanye West, Justin Bieber, J-Cole, as well as Beyonce and Jay-Z.
Michael Jackson
In the months after Diddy’s arrest, there has been speculation about underground tunnels linking Comb’s house to Michael Jackson’s Los Angeles properties. This conspiracy surfaced after the 120 allegations made against Combs.
This conspiracy had been fact-checked by Reuters and no evidence was found.
Eminem
After the allegations made in Combs’ name, many have started digging into pop culture references that mention Combs. Fans have cited Fuel by Eminem and JID as evidence against Combs. The lyrics are;
“I’m like an R-A-P-E-R (yeah) Got so many S-As (S-As), S-As (huh) Wait, he didn’t just spell the work “Rapper” and leave out a P, did he? (yep) RIP, rest in peace, Biggie And Pac, both of y’all should be living (yep) But I ain’t tryna beef with (nope) ‘Cause he might put a hit on me like, ‘Keefe D’, get him…”
Many are fixating on the phrase “P, did he”, which sounds like one of Combs’ stage names P-Diddy, indicating that he is a rapist and was involved with the murders of the Notorious B.I.G (Biggie), and Tupac Shakur (Pac).
Although these lyrics seem to say it all, many have speculated that he only made these assumptions based on the reopened cases, not that he was “trying to warn us.” Fans are also analyzing the song “Killshot” which was released in 2018, fixating on the lyrics:
“But Kells, the day you put out a hits the day Diddy admits that he put the hit out that got Pac killed”
Eminem claims the song targeted a different rapper, Machine Gun Kelly, even though it drew more attention to Combs. After fans’ responses to these lyrics, Eminem stated that he loved Combs and it was nothing against him. Combs, however, took it personally. The situation escalated when Combs began spreading the news of what Eminem said in his song with other artists such as rapper Jay Electonic. Jay then tweeted that Eminem should be careful before his career comes crashing down.
Although Eminem has called Combs out on multiple occasions through his lyrics, he has yet to make a formal statement about the artist.
Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber began in the music industry at a very young age, a notoriously difficult way to navigate adolescence. He signed a contract with Combs’ label in 2009 and from then on, Combs became a mentor figure to Justin. This relationship did not sit well with Justin Bieber’s fans.
Fans of Justin seemed to think that this relationship was unhealthy, and many are now curious about what went down behind closed doors. Video footage of the two standing next to each other and speaking into the camera sparked controversy when Combs shared that planned to spend 48 hours with the underage musician and that they would engage in “crazy things” that they wouldn’t be able to talk about later. While Combs claims this would be “every teenager’s dream,” Justin appears awkward and scared.
Now in 2024, fans are speculating the meaning behind Justin’s song “Yummy.” Fans have focused on the music video and the hidden message behind it. The video ended with a young Justin Bieber in all-white printed on a plate. Fans seem to believe that this is about P-Diddy’s infamous “white parties.”
Beyonce
Social media theorists have also connected Beyonce Knowles Carter to Combs’ illegal activities. Many
believe that Combs and Jay-Z, Beyonce’s husband, have been working together to protect the singer’s career. Many have started to speculate that the two men have been “eliminating” any artist that has come in the way of Beyonce’s success or could be considered a competitor. These theories include the artists who famously died such as Aaliyah, Left Eye Lopes, and Michael Jackson. Fans find it interesting that the three artists all passed on the 25th in what theorists consider “questionable ways.”
Fans have then started to dig deeper into how many artists have thanked Beyonce when winning big-time music awards.
Adele thanked Beyonce after winning Album of the Year at the Grammys in 2017. While Adele gave her speech and began thanking Beyonce, fans speculated that she appeared distraught, upset, and scared. She began crying and even tore her Grammy in half so she could share it with Beyonce. During her speech, Adele said, “I can’t possibly accept this award, and I’m very humbled and very grateful and gracious but the artist of my life is Beyonce.” Many found her crediting Beyonce odd not only because Adele is a talented artist in her own right, but also because her music and fanbase are not in direct competition with Knowles-Carter, their genres are too different.
Lizzo then thanked Beyonce in 2023 at the 65th annual Grammy Awards. She won Record of the Year for her song “About Damn Time.” After mentioning her late mentor Prince, she went into explaining how Beyonce had been such an inspiration to her. She told the story of how she skipped class in 5th grade to see Beyonce perform. While looking almost as distraught as Adele, Lizzo said, “You changed my life, and the way you make me feel, I was like, ‘I wanna make people feel this way with my music.’”
Harry Styles won the Album of the Year award at the Grammys in 2023 for his 3rd solo album, Harry’s House. Prior to his name officially being called, Beyonce stood up assuming she had won the award. As Styles gave his speech, he was heckled by the audience who believed that Beyonce should have won instead. While the audience was shouting at Styles, he was in the process of saying how each person in his category, including Beyonce, had inspired him in some way.
In 2009, Taylor Swift won the Best Music Video award at the VMAs. Swift did not thank Beyonce, nor did she plan to, but Kanye West jumped on stage, took the microphone from her, and did it for her. He had the infamous speech where he said, “Imma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the greatest music videos of all time.” While in the moment Swift and her fans were stunned, she made jokes later about the speech. Theorists seem to believe that Kanye was not might not have been being rude to Taylor Swift, but instead protecting her from Beyonce.
Beyonce has yet to take legal action against social media platforms for these accusations.
J-Cole
Many of the conspiracy videos made about Beyonce, Jay-Z, and Combs have used “She Knows” by J-Cole as a background song. Speculators believe that “she” is about Jay-Z’s first name Sean, and “Knows” in regards to Beyonce’s last name, Knowles. Fans have been obsessing over the lyrics mentioning the deaths of Aaliyah, Left Eye, and Michael Jackson.
“Rest in peace to Aaliyah, rest in peace to Left Eye, Michael Jackson, I’ll see ya, just as soon as I die.”
Countless theorists have concluded that this song was referencing Combs, Jay-Z, and Beyonce’s involvement in the mysterious deaths of the three artists. Fans seem to believe that along with the lyrics, “She knows” referencing Beyonce and Jay-Z, they are also in reference to Beyonce knowing it was all happening for the sake of her career.
