A former LAPD cop claims that Grammy Award-winning artist Sean 'P Diddy' Combs was responsible for hiring a killer to shoot Tupac Shakur in a drive-by in 1996.

Both Diddy, from New York, and Tupac, in Los Angeles, had been caught up in a bitter rivalry between East and West Coast rappers, the Huffington Post reports. 

Christopher Wallace, aka Biggie Smalls - a close friend of P Diddy - was shot dead six months later in a revenge killing, according to retired detective Greg Kading, who once led a special task force that investigated the shootings.
