Later in 1995, after the interview was recorded in January, Tupac Shakur was visited by Diddy, with the rap mogul reassuring Pac that he wasn’t involved in the shooting. There’s been no hard evidence linking him, or Bad Boy Records, to the shooting either, despite Shakur’s belief that it was a setup. He wasn’t the only one who would think Diddy was involved, as thanks to capturing his own words in the Vibe interview, future rappers would go on to accuse Diddy of taking hits out on Tupac.
Most notably, this includes Eminem, who, as usual, doesn’t play coy and comes out and says it in the track “Fuel – Shady Version:” “Notorious B.I.G.’s death was the domino effects of Tupac’s murder / Like facial tissue, whose card should I clean next? Puff’s? ‘Til he’s in police handcuffs, guilty, will he step up? / Like gee, never turned himself in, who knows all the murders there’ll have been.”
