Kirk Burrowes, former president of Bad Boy Entertainment has fingered Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs for the 1995 murder of Suge Knight’s bodyguard and the murder of Tupac Shakur. Burrowes claims his former partner set up an “enterprise” of thuggish associates “to gain power, recognition, fame and financial gain through acts and threats involving murder, mayhem and extortion via the enterprise.”

Once very close to Combs (the godfather to his son Justin) he says he was cheated out of $25 million, threatened with a baseball bat and undermined in his management deal with Mary J. Blige by Puffy. Furthermore, Burrowes makes some other serious claims. “With the consent, approval and ratification of the [Bad Boy] enterprise, Suge Knight’s chief bodyguard “Big Jake” was murdered in 1995,” Burrowes says in a sworn legal statement. Allegedly, the bodyguard was killed soon after Diddy’s “advance man” got into an “East Coast-West Coast bashing contest” at an Atlanta party. A local deputy sheriff, who was later passed away in a “mysterious car accident,” identified Puffy’s “advance man” – a convicted felon named Anthony Jones – as the shooter, claims Burrowes.

Burrowes also said that Puffy hired the shooter who killed Tupac in late 1996. He did not offer more detail on this in his sworn 37-page statement. Benjamin Brafman, Puff’s lawyer, says the claims are “completely baseless” and Combs would not be “blackmailed into submission” by a “former disgruntled employee” looking for money.
