Katt Williams Says His Love for Tupac Shakur Partly Motivated Him to Expose Diddy

Nearly a year after Katt Williams predicted Diddy’s downfall, he is sharing some insight into why he chose to target the producer. 

During his GQ profile, the comedian explained that his disdain for the Bad Boy founder has been years in the making. In fact, the death of Tupac Shakur was the starting point of Williams’ Diddy hate.

“So when I was a young man, Tupac was my favorite artist. I loved Tupac. And I felt like we were kindred spirits. So if I hear you responsible for knocking my n***a off…I don’t give a f**k what job I end up being in, I don’t care how things go, if I can get a way to get you, that’s what I’m all about. 

Rumors have long swirled that Diddy played a role in the murder of Shakur in 1996. While many have attributed the drive-by shooting to a Las Vegas casino fight earlier that evening, Diddy has been implicated in the murder throughout the years. Duane “Keffe D” Davis, the sole survivor of the vehicle where the shots were fired, once alleged Diddy paid up to a million dollars for the murder of the West Coast star. The slain rapper’s family has launched an investigation into whether or not the mogul was involved, a claim Diddy has long denied. 

Williams believes the 55-year-old has long been owed his dose of karma for such allegations. 

“I just don’t like you walking around scot-free. ’Cause you a demon, and I know demons are powerful, but I know why they’re powerful…. It’s cold spiritual warfare going on out here in the real world. And part of my job is to not lose focus on that,” Williams added.
