In a recent interview, Gene Deal, former bodyguard of Sean “Diddy” Combs, has urged authorities to track a $1 million check that could link the music mogul to the murder of Tupac Shakur in 1996. Deal emphasized the importance of following the money trail, referring to claims made in a civil lawsuit by Kirk Burrowes accusing Diddy of being connected to the crime. Deal also mentioned a check allegedly seen by Eric “Von Zip” Martin, indicating a possible payment related to the murder-for-hire plot. Despite Keefe D's involvement in the investigation, Deal believes he is being used as a scapegoat and predicts his eventual release. He criticized law enforcement for manipulating Keefe D and suggested that the Las Vegas Police Department lacks evidence to implicate him in Shakur's death. Keefe D remains in custody awaiting trial in Nevada.
