50 Cent Wants $1M Bet On Keefe D Testifying Against Diddy

50 Cent wants to stake $1 million on a wild prediction: convicted killer Keefe D will eventually testify against Diddy.

He posted the wager after jurors delivered the first conviction in the nearly 30-year investigation into Tupac Shakur’s murder.

“Keefie D guilty, guilty, guilty, smh Polly market I want to bet 1,000,000 that Keefie D is a star witness in Diddy’s Murder for higher case. LOL,” 50 Cent wrote in the attached Instagram post.

50 Cent appeared to mean Polymarket and murder-for-hire, but no public Diddy murder prosecution exists and his proposed wager remains a taunt.

Diddy has never been charged or publicly named as a suspect by Las Vegas police in connection with Tupac’s murder.

Duane “Keefe D” Davis, 63, was convicted Monday of first-degree murder with a deadly weapon inside a Las Vegas courtroom.

The Associated Press reported that jurors deliberated less than three hours before holding Keefe D responsible for orchestrating the September 1996 drive-by shooting.

Prosecutors said Keefe D acquired a gun and searched for Tupac and Suge Knight after Tupac’s entourage beat his nephew inside the MGM Grand.

Gunfire struck Tupac and Suge on September 7, 1996; Tupac died six days later while Suge survived his injuries.

Authorities never argued that Keefe D fired the shots, but Nevada law holds planners and accomplices responsible for the resulting murder.

“For nearly 18 years, Duane Davis has told the police, television, books, YouTube interviewers, anybody that will listen, he has told, he is responsible for the murder of Tupac Shakur,” prosecutor Binu Palal told jurors. “Tell him you hear him, find him guilty.”

Palal also reduced the legal question to two blunt lines: “Who fired is not the question. It’s a plan, not an impulse.”

Defense attorney Michael Sanft argued that Keefe D invented his accounts for money and attention while investigators failed to find enough physical evidence.

“We have to ask ourselves the question really at this particular point: Why are we here 30 years later if Duane Davis had actually confessed, truly confessed?” Sanft asked.

Jurors rejected that defense after hearing recordings, interviews and excerpts from Keefe D’s 2019 memoir, Compton Street Legend.

The Diddy angle behind 50 Cent’s wager comes from a separate allegation Keefe D made during a recorded 2008 police interview.

Keefe D claimed Diddy offered the Southside Compton Crips $1 million to kill Tupac and Suge during the Bad Boy and Death Row feud.

“Man, I want to get rid of them dudes,” Diddy allegedly told him, according to Keefe D. “We’ll wipe their ass out, quick. It’s nothing…We wanted a million.”

Keefe D claimed his group accepted the alleged offer and sent Eric “Von Zip” Martin to collect the promised money afterward.

No payment was established, and Keefe D claimed Martin either failed to collect the money or secretly kept it himself.

“What’s up with the cash?” Keefe D recalled asking Martin. “[Diddy] ain’t give it to me yet. We need money, m###########. They took our guns, all that s###. We need some money. They must got millions.”

Keefe D later claimed the missing money helped drive his decision to cooperate with investigators and discuss Tupac’s killing.

“I think if he would’ve just gave us half the money, we … I would’ve stayed strong,” he said.

He also described trying unsuccessfully to reach Diddy after leaving prison and hunting for another chance to confront him about payment.

“[Diddy] ain’t answer,” Keefe D said. “That man got about 50 phones. He can throw that s### away. He gets phones easy.”

“When he got that Walk of Fame m###########, I was right there!” Keefe D added. “But there was too many [police] around there.”

Keefe D invoked Diddy’s Brother Love nickname during a 2022 interview while directly appealing to him for support.

“Brother Love, come show some love,” Keefe D said. “That’s all I can f###### say. Show some love, Brother Love. S###, I be seeing you doing your little Diddy dance and all that, man, show some love, homie.”

“Come on, man, don’t be like that, Brother Love,” he continued. “I was on top of the world before I met your m############ ass, dude. S### is wrong. Come on, homie. I need some. Throw a dog a bone or something.”

However, Keefe D reversed himself before trial when a reporter asked whether Diddy had anything to do with Tupac’s death.

“No, ma’am. I don’t think so at all,” he answered.

Keefe D also claimed someone prepared his earlier account and pressured him to repeat it so he could leave custody.

“My lawyer gave me a script to read. He said that’s the only way you’re going home. So I read the script.”

The guilty verdict establishes Keefe D’s responsibility for Tupac’s murder, but it does not establish that Diddy ordered or financed the attack.

Diddy gave AllHipHop an exclusive denial after Greg Kading presented the $1 million allegation in his 2011 book, Murder Rap.

“The story is pure fiction and completely ridiculous,” Diddy told AllHipHop.

No public record shows prosecutors have approached Keefe D, subpoenaed him or opened a murder case against Diddy.

Keefe D told the judge he plans to appeal, while Judge Carli Kierny scheduled his sentencing hearing for October 13.

He faces 20 years to life, with life without parole among the possible punishments for the first-degree murder conviction.

A Manhattan jury acquitted Diddy of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking but convicted him on two federal Mann Act counts in July 2025.

Diddy remains at FCI Fort Dix serving 50 months for arranging interstate travel by paid male escorts for sexual encounters involving his girlfriends.
