On August 20, 2026, Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) mocked Sean Combs (Diddy) on Instagram after testimony in Duane “Keffe D” Davis ’s Tupac Shakur murder trial revived a disputed claim that Combs offered $1 million to target Shakur and Suge Knight . Jackson’s post riffed on an alleged middleman and the money that supposedly never arrived. Jurors heard a recording of Davis’s 2008 proffer interview, in which Davis allegedly described Combs discussing a plan to eliminate Shakur and Knight. Davis’s account claimed the proposed payment was connected to the 1996 Las Vegas shooting that killed Shakur, but the allegation remains contested and Combs has repeatedly denied involvement. So Where Does “Zip” Fit In? Jackson’s Instagram caption referenced Eric “Von Zip” Martin, a Harlem drug dealer Davis identified as a connection to Combs. Davis previously claimed Martin helped provide the .40 caliber firearm used in Las Vegas and later acted as an intermediary for the alleged payout, making Jackson’s “Zip got low with the bread” line a pointed money joke. Davis now disputes his earlier statements, telling FOX5 that his attorney gave him a script and promised it was the way to avoid prison. Defense attorney Michael Sanft has questioned what evidence supports Davis’s interviews and book, while Combs called the bounty story “pure fiction” in 2011; Combs is currently serving a 50 month sentence at FCI Fort Dix after a jury acquitted him of racketeering and sex trafficking, and Davis has pleaded not guilty as the trial is expected to last about six weeks.
