“The day you put out a hit, is the day Diddy admits he put the hit out that got ‘Pac killed”

P-Diddy has responded to claims made by Eminem on his Machine Gun Kelly diss track “Killshot” that he was responsible for the death of Tupac Shakur.

On the track, Em raps: “The day you put out a hit, is the day Diddy admits he put the hit out that got ‘Pac killed.”

The track earned a record 38.1 million views on YouTube in the first 24 hours of its release, with the majority of the lyrics attacking MGK as part of his and Eminem’s on-going feud.

However, despite the 45-year-old rapper claiming at the end of the song he was “just kidding”, the suggestion Diddy played a role Tupac’s death in 1996 has raised eyebrows in the Hip Hop community.

In a now-deleted tweet, Jay Electronica said: “How dare you accuse Diddy of killing Tupac while you completely look pass Jimmy Iovine and those who profited from his death the MOST. You best tread carefully.”

And now Joe Budden has shared Diddy’s thoughts on the lyrics in a recent podcast. On it, Budden said: “Nothing to speculate about, nothing to talk about. Puff said it’s in his hands, and he said, I can say it… he wild.”

Although Diddy is yet to publically retort the track, it’s safe to guess he is less than happy about what Eminem had to say.
