Tupac Shakurâs stepbrother Mopreme Shakur is certain Sean Diddy Combs is not truthful in denying involvement in rapperâs murder.
Moprene, whose real name is Maurice Shakur, appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored Friday as investigation begins regarding Tupacâs murderâclaiming he doesnât believe Combs was being â100 percent honest.â
His appearance also coincides with Combsâ now-retracted 2008 story in the Los Angeles Times in that neither he nor Notorious B.I.G. had âany knowledge of any attack on Tupac.â
âMy opinion is that I donât believe it was a 100 percent honest statement,â Moprene told Piers Morgan when asked about those remarks.
âSo, again, we gotta find out whatâs true and whatâs false. Whatâs real and whatâs fake.â
Moprene, 57, revealed that Combs denied the allegations in person, as well, when he happened to be in Los Angeles several years after Tupac died.
â[He] basically said he had nothing to do with my brotherâs murder,â the former Thug Life rap group member told the host what Combs had to say at the time.
âI told him, âThe truth is still yet to come out, so weâre going to see.â Here we are, 27, 28 years later, it looks like thereâs some doubt in that statement, along with all the other suspicions that people have.â
When Morgan, 59, asked if he thought the Bad Boy Records founder was lying to him at the time, Moprene responded, âQuite possibly and itâs kind of looking that way, in my opinion.â
Moprene concluded that âitâs timeâ for allegations to be investigated once again.
Tupac was killed in a drive-by shooting after leaving an MGM Grand boxing match in Las Vegas in 1996 during the peak of his rap war with Combs and Christopher Wallace, aka the Notorious B.I.G.
Combs has never been arrested, indicted, or charged in connection to these claims.
Page Six exclusively reported in July that Tupacâs family was considering filing a wrongful death lawsuit against Combs over his alleged ties to Tupac’s fatal shooting.
âPeople from Diddyâs past are coming forward and providing info,â a source told us at the time.
The family has reportedly joined forces with Alex Spiro, famed for A-list clients like Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and Elon Musk, to investigate.
Combs is currently held in Metropolitan Detention Centre, Brookyln over allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracies.
