At 4:22 p.m. on what should have been an ordinary December afternoon, gunfire erupted inside the engineering building at Providence College. Students preparing for final exams found themselves barricaded in classrooms as text alerts warned, “Hide. Stay where you are. Silence your phone.” This week on Zone 7, Sheryl McCollum and retired FBI Special Agent Scott Duffey revisit the Providence College shooting, where a day of finals spiraled into chaos and tragedy. Together, they discuss the confusion inside the building, the calm suspect caught on camera, and the observant witness whose attention to detail helped identify him. Sheryl and Scott examine what went right, what went wrong, and how information, instinct, and timing shaped the investigation.

The Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning shattered records with nearly twenty-two million viewers in its first week. Before it even aired, Diddy's legal team fired off a cease-and-desist letter calling it a shameful hit piece and threatening a billion-dollar lawsuit. No lawsuit was ever filed. No injunction. No emergency motion. Just noise. So what actually happened, and what comes next? Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us to break down the legal reality behind Diddy's threats. We examine what it would take to win a copyright claim over footage filmed by his own videographer, especially when reports suggest no formal contracts existed. Eric explains why stolen footage is far harder to prove than headlines suggest and walks us through defamation law for public figures, including the actual malice standard that makes celebrity lawsuits extraordinarily difficult to win. Then there is the question of the footage itself. According to executive producer 50 Cent, Netflix only scratched the surface. In a recent interview, he confirmed he is sitting on one hundred forty hours of unreleased material and hinted it could end up on YouTube. Among the details that never made the final cut: Diddy allegedly fathered a child with Sarah Chapman, a woman who previously dated Tupac Shakur. The documentary also avoided the death of Kim Porter, the alleged firebombing of Kid Cudi's car after he dated Cassie, and civil lawsuits naming Diddy's sons in separate assault allegations. We also dig into how Netflix obtained the behind-the-scenes footage in the first place. According to Diddy's own documentarian, it came from a fill-in freelancer brought in for just three days. Diddy's team called it stolen. Netflix says it was legally obtained. With 50 Cent threatening to release more and Diddy's legal options looking weaker by the day, this story is far from over. #DiddyCase #NetflixDoc #EricFaddis #LegalAnalysis #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #SeanCombs #DefamationLaw #TrueCrimePodcast #50Cent #Diddy #SeanCombsTheReckoning #Netflix #DiddyDocumentary #Tupac #SarahChapman #BadBoy #CrimeWeekly #TrueCrime #HipHopNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sean "Diddy" Combs has long been rumored to have been involved in the murder of Tupac Shakur, with recent developments reigniting these allegations. A significant claim came from Duane "Keffe D" Davis, who alleged that Diddy offered him $1 million to kill Tupac and Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight. This claim was made during a proffer agreement with authorities, under which Keffe D confessed that the directive to kill Tupac came from Diddy himself.The allegations have gained further traction with the arrest of Keffe D in 2023 for his role in the 1996 murder. Investigations have revealed that a million-dollar check, allegedly linked to Blackground Records, might have been used to finance the hit on Tupac. Gene Deal, a former associate of Diddy, suggested that this financial transaction is central to the renewed investigation​.Despite these allegations, Diddy has consistently denied any involvement in Tupac's murder. He described the claims as "pure fiction" and has actively sought to clear his name, even reaching out to Tupac's family to assert his innocence​.Let's dive in!to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Diddy is named 77 times in Tupac Shakur murder documents after gangster Duane 'Keefe D' Davis accused him of paying $1million for the hit | Daily Mail Online

The Netflix documentary doesn't stop at abuse allegations — it dives straight into the two most infamous unsolved murders in music history: Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. With Keefe D now awaiting trial in Nevada, statements resurfacing from decades past, and former associates like Kirk Burrowes making explosive claims, many viewers are asking the same question: Is there any world where Diddy faces criminal charges? Defense attorney Eric Faddis breaks down exactly why these allegations haven't resulted in charges and what prosecutors actually need before they put anyone — especially a high-profile figure — in front of a grand jury. We examine Keefe D's interviews, his credibility problems, and the challenge of using a witness whose own confessions may undermine his reliability. Eric walks through the Burrowes journals, the allegations involving Eric “Von Zip” Martin, the cross-state car movements, and the claims of hidden compartments. Is any of that enough to reopen a cold case? Or is it circumstantial at best? We also explore whether acquittals in unrelated federal cases influence prosecutorial willingness to pursue old allegations, whether civil wrongful-death suits are still possible, and whether a future cooperation deal from Keefe D could implicate anyone else — including Diddy. We end on a crucial point: In criminal law, accusations alone mean nothing. Evidence is everything. #Diddy #Tupac #Biggie #EricFaddis #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #TonyBrueski #HipHopHistory #LegalBreakdown #ColdCaseAnalysis Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning broke records with nearly 22 million viewers in its first week. But according to executive producer 50 Cent, what aired was just the beginning. In a revealing interview on The Sherri Show, 50 confirmed he's sitting on 140 hours of unreleased footage — and he's already hinting it might end up on YouTube. So what didn't make the cut? For starters, the explosive detail that Diddy fathered a child with Sarah Chapman, a woman who previously dated Tupac Shakur in 1995. That footage was filmed, discussed, and then left on the editing room floor. 50 Cent says it's part of a pattern — Diddy allegedly pursuing women connected to his rivals. Then there's the question everyone's asking: how did Netflix get that behind-the-scenes footage of Diddy in the days before his arrest? According to Diddy's own documentarian, the material was handed over by a fill-in freelancer — someone brought in for just three days while the main cameraman was out of state. Diddy's team called it stolen. Netflix says it was legally obtained. The filmmaker who leaked it hasn't been publicly identified. The documentary also sidestepped several major controversies: the death of Kim Porter, whose children have repeatedly asked the public to stop spreading conspiracy theories; the alleged firebombing of Kid Cudi's car after he briefly dated Cassie; and civil lawsuits naming Diddy's sons Justin and King in separate sexual assault allegations. None of it made the final cut. Now, with 50 Cent threatening to release more footage directly online, the story is far from over. This video breaks down the loose ends, the unreleased material, and what could be coming next in the most public takedown in hip-hop history. #Diddy #50Cent #SeanCombsTheReckoning #Netflix #DiddyDocumentary #Tupac #SarahChapman #BadBoy #CrimeWeekly #TrueCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sean “Diddy” Combs, also known as Puff Daddy and Puffy, is facing the most serious legal and reputational crisis of his career, as multiple criminal proceedings, civil suits, and media projects converge to reshape his legacy in real time. LAist reports that a federal jury in Manhattan recently found Combs guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, while acquitting him on the most serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking involving his ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura and another woman who testified under the name “Jane.” According to LAist, jurors rejected prosecutors' attempt to tie Combs to a broader criminal enterprise, but accepted evidence that he organized and paid for interstate travel connected to what he called “freak offs” and “hotel nights,” which the government said involved paid sex with male sex workers. Each of the two counts he was convicted on carries a potential sentence of up to 10 years in prison, leaving Combs still facing a substantial possible prison term at sentencing. AOL reports that the trial judge in the racketeering and sex trafficking case has offered Combs a narrow path to reduce any eventual sentence, indicating he could potentially cut up to a year off by participating in certain prison programs if incarcerated, a detail that underscores how seriously the court is treating the convictions even after the acquittals on the heaviest charges. Outside the criminal courtroom, LAist also notes that Combs remains entangled in dozens of civil lawsuits from former employees and associates, adding to an already sprawling legal battle that began in late 2023 when Cassie's high-profile civil suit was rapidly settled for $20 million with no admission of wrongdoing. At the same time, the cultural narrative around Combs is shifting. Ground News, summarizing coverage from outlets including the Sydney Morning Herald, highlights a new four-part Netflix documentary produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson that revisits long-circulating allegations and industry rumors about Combs, including claims connected to the 1990s East Coast–West Coast feud and a purported $1 million hit on Tupac Shakur. According to that reporting, the series is explicitly designed to dismantle Combs' public image as a visionary mogul and recast his rise as being intertwined with intimidation, exploitation, and violence, reflecting how far his reputation has fallen from his Bad Boy Records and Sean John fashion heyday. FarrahGray.com further reports that Combs is also under investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for alleged sexual battery in California, adding yet another active law-enforcement probe to his mounting troubles. Combined with his split from major corporate partners in spirits, fashion, and media, these developments have left Combs' once-massive commercial empire in disarray as the legal system and the court of public opinion both bear down on him.

The Netflix documentary "Sean Combs: The Reckoning" presents some of the most damning allegations ever made against the disgraced music mogul — and the most explosive involve two murders that changed hip-hop forever. In this breakdown, we examine the documentary's claims about Diddy's alleged role in the deaths of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G., including never-before-heard audio from Keefe D's 2008 proffer session where he alleges Combs offered a million-dollar bounty on Tupac and Suge Knight. We walk through the testimony of Bad Boy co-founder Kirk Burrowes, who kept detailed journals during his years at the label and now claims Combs was "insanely jealous" of Biggie and Tupac's friendship.  Burrowes alleges Combs cancelled Biggie's London trip and kept him in Los Angeles despite the danger — and that after Biggie was killed, Combs allegedly tried to charge the funeral costs back to the dead rapper's estate. We also cover the response from Biggie's estate manager Wayne Barrow, who denies the funeral allegation entirely. The documentary raises a disturbing question: did Combs lose a friend, or build an empire on tragedy? Sean Combs has denied all involvement in both murders and has never been charged. Keefe D's trial is scheduled for 2026. This is Crime Weekly's full breakdown of the allegations, the evidence, and what it all means. #Diddy #SeanCombs #TheReckoning #Tupac #NotoriousBIG #Biggie #CrimeWeekly #TrueCrime #Netflix #HipHop Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ashley Parham's lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs contains shocking accusations of sexual assault and physical violence. Parham claims that in 2018, after making a comment accusing Diddy of being involved in Tupac Shakur's murder, she became a target of his retaliation. According to the lawsuit, Diddy threatened her and eventually lured her to a private residence, where he allegedly assaulted her physically and sexually. Parham states that he held a knife to her face, threatened her with a "Glasgow smile," and humiliated her in front of others.Further details in the lawsuit describe how Diddy, along with his associates, sexually assaulted Parham using various objects, all while threatening her life. She recounts waking up from the ordeal, grabbing a knife, and confronting Diddy in a desperate attempt to escape. Parham alleges that Diddy begged for his life during the confrontation and that she narrowly escaped after grazing him with the knife. Despite reporting the assault to local police, Parham claims that no investigation was opened, intensifying her allegations against Diddy and his associates.Attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents over 120 accusers of Sean "Diddy" Combs, has been outspoken about his intention to expose not just Diddy, but also the enablers who supported or facilitated the alleged misconduct. During a press conference, Buzbee emphasized that these accomplices and bystanders played critical roles in allowing Diddy's abusive behavior to continue over decades. He stated that the names of these individuals would "shock" the public once revealed. Buzbee is meticulously gathering evidence and has warned those involved to come forward before their names are publicly exposed in court.Buzbee's firm is currently preparing to file lawsuits in multiple states, with allegations ranging from sexual abuse to the use of drugs to facilitate these crimes. He has vowed to hold both individuals and corporate entities accountable, claiming that some businesses profited from or enabled Diddy's activities. Buzbee's approach is to thoroughly vet each case, ensuring that all evidence—such as photos, videos, and witness testimonies—is in place before taking action​.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

According to the lawsuit, Diddy threatened her and eventually lured her to a private residence, where he allegedly assaulted her physically and sexually. Parham states that he held a knife to her face, threatened her with a "Glasgow smile," and humiliated her in front of others.Further details in the lawsuit describe how Diddy, along with his associates, sexually assaulted Parham using various objects, all while threatening her life. She recounts waking up from the ordeal, grabbing a knife, and confronting Diddy in a desperate attempt to escape. Parham alleges that Diddy begged for his life during the confrontation and that she narrowly escaped after grazing him with the knife. Despite reporting the assault to local police, Parham claims that no investigation was opened, intensifying her allegations against Diddy and his associates.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Complaint (newsnationnow.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

​In February 2025, an anonymous male escort filed a lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs, alleging sexual assault and subsequent threats. The plaintiff claims that in 2012, Combs hired him through a male companion service and invited him to the Intercontinental Hotel in New York City. Upon arrival, the escort was allegedly instructed to perform sexual acts on a female companion of Combs. The suit further alleges that Combs drugged the plaintiff, leading to a loss of control, and then forcibly anally raped him in a bathroom. Following the assault, Combs purportedly threatened the escort's life, referencing the fate of rapper Tupac Shakur to ensure his silence.Combs' legal team has vehemently denied these allegations, asserting that he has never engaged in sexual assault or sex trafficking. They emphasize that the plaintiff's use of anonymity undermines the credibility of the claims. This lawsuit adds to a series of legal challenges Combs is currently facing, including multiple civil suits alleging sexual misconduct and federal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. As of now, Combs remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, with a trial scheduled for May 2025.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sean 'Diddy' Combs sued by male escort over alleged 2012 rape

In this week’s Crime Roundup, Sheryl McCollum and Joshua Schiffer Break down the federal hearing surrounding Luigi Mangione, the suspect accused of assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December of 2024. What began as a five-day manhunt has become a master class in what not to do, with missed warrants, coached testimony, and evidence on the verge of being thrown out. Sheryl and Joshua examine how procedural missteps could weaken a potential death penalty case and why “get a warrant” isn't just good advice; it's the foundation of justice. They then turned their attention to Massachusetts, where the trial of Brian Walshe, who is accused of killing and dismembering his wife, reveals how arrogance, lies, and a trail of Google searches can expose a killer's truth. Highlights: • (0:00) Welcome to Crime Roundup with Sheryl McCollum and Joshua Schiffer • (0:15) "99 percent of the time, you need a warrant... it won’t hurt your case if you get one and don’t need it.” • (4:00) Coached testimony and the danger of tailoring officer statements for admissibility • (7:30) What happens when training, procedure, and pressure collide in the courtroom • (9:00) How early media leaks and “pre-trial publicity” can poison a case before it begins • (10:30) The potential collapse of key evidence and its impact on death penalty eligibility • (12:15) The rules of criminal procedure and what it means when they don’t apply equally • (17:15) The defense’s dream scenario: getting the weapon suppressed because of a“bad stop” • (17:45) The Brian Walshe trail and the anatomy of a cover-up • (19:30) Walshe’s “woke up and she was dead” defense and why it’s collapsing in court • (21:45) The digital trail: how Google searches reveal motive, method, and mindset • (23:00) Closing thoughts: why “get a warrant” isn’t optional, it’s the rule of law About the Hosts Joshua Schiffer is a veteran trial attorney and one of the Southeast’s most respected legal voices. He is a founding partner at ChancoSchiffer P.C., where he has litigated high-stakes criminal, civil rights, and personal injury cases for over two decades.

Content Warning: This episode discusses eating disorders, starvation, and medical neglect. Listener discretion is advised. This week on Pathology with Dr. Priya, a Zone 7 series, Sheryl McCollum and Dr. Priya Banerjee look at some of the most painful and complex ways a body can fail, from starvation and radiation exposure to delayed deaths that can take years to claim a life. Dr. Priya Breaks down the science of how the body deteriorates during starvation, explains why children in famine zones appear bloated, and discusses both abuse and eating disorder cases that show the psychological and biological devastation of prolonged deprivation. They also explore radiation-linked illnesses, the hidden risks of environmental exposure, and what happens when a wound or poisoning leads to death years later. Through every case, Dr. Priya explains the forensic details behind a “slow death” and why, for the body, nothing about it is slow. Highlights • (0:00) Sheryl welcome listeners and introduces the topic: slow deaths • (3:00) Why Thanksgiving reminds Sheryl of slow deaths and what starvation really is • (4:00) Dr. Priya explains how starvation breaks the body down from within, and how it can stem from both illness and abuse • (12:45) Dr. Priya describes why starving children often appear bloated and the biology behind kwashiorkor• (16:15) Radiation exposure: how time, dose, and distance determine long-term damage • (20:45) Delayed deaths, paralysis, and the challenge of proving causation • (26:15) "Death by a thousand cuts": how blood loss from minor wounds can still be lethal, and how even old wounds can become deadly decades later • (29:00) Closing thoughts: Sheryl and Dr. Priya reflect on the cruelty of slow deaths About the Hosts Dr. Priya Banerjee is a board-certified forensic pathologist with extensive experience in death investigation, clinical forensics, and courtroom testimony. A graduate of Johns Hopkins, she served for over a decade as Rhode Island’s state medical examiner and now runs a private forensic pathology practice.

We the Young Fighters: Pop Culture, Terror, and War in Sierra Leone (U Georgia Press, 2023) by Dr. Marc Sommers is at once a history of a nation, the story of a war, and the saga of downtrodden young people and three pop culture superstars. Reggae idol Bob Marley, rap legend Tupac Shakur, and the John Rambo movie character all portrayed an upside-down world, where those in the right are blamed while the powerful attack them. Their collective example found fertile ground in the West African nation of Sierra Leone, where youth were entrapped, inequality was blatant, and dissent was impossible.When warfare spotlighting diamonds, marijuana, and extreme terror began in 1991, military leaders exploited the trio's transcendent power over their young fighters and captives. Once the war expired, youth again turned to Marley for inspiration and Tupac for friendship.Thoroughly researched and accessibly written, We the Young Fighters probes terror-based warfare and how Tupac, Rambo, and—especially—Bob Marley wove their way into the fabric of alienation, resistance, and hope in Sierra Leone. The tale of pop culture heroes radicalizing warfare and shaping peacetime underscores the need to engage with alienated youth and reform predatory governments. The book ends with a framework for customizing the international response to these twin challenges. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

On voicing "Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur." On the changing nature of audio book recordings. On transition from acting to news television.

On this episode of “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock discusses how the Dallas Cowboys played last night and showed signs of life against the Los Angeles Raiders. While there would typically be chatter about the game and its implications for the season, social media remains fixated on Shedeur Sanders. Whitlock likens Sanders to a black Tim Tebow in the way he overshadows the NFL and also analogizes him to late rapper Tupac Shakur. Former NFL quarterback Danny Kanell joins the show to discuss Shedeur Sanders' debut for the Browns last weekend and makes predictions about him starting in Cleveland's upcoming game against the Raiders. Whitlock and Kanell also discuss Ja'Marr Chase being suspended for one game for spitting on Jalen Ramsey; Michael Penix suffering another injury that could be the fifth to end his season in eight years; Seth Joyner hinting that the Eagles might over their heads with Jalen Hurts at QB; Virginia Tech hiring James Franklin; whether Ole Miss Coach Lane Kiffin is a true difference-maker; and Bomani Jones being outraged by the Texas A&M state trooper incident and tying it to police brutality.

A Note from JamesTupac Shakur—one of the greatest rap artists ever—was shot and killed almost two decades ago. What else is there left to say about him? What new things can be said?Well, Jeff Pearlman's new book, Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur, takes on that challenge. In our conversation, we talk about what Jeff uncovered in his research, why he wanted to write another Tupac book, and what made this one different.But first, a little story. Back in the '90s, I was running a company that built websites. Around 1997 or '98, Tupac's mom wanted to release a new album of his music and build a website around it. I went in to pitch the project—$90,000, which would've covered payroll for another month. I needed that deal.So I show up, ready to impress. Tupac's manager says, “Okay, here's my computer. Show me what you've got.” And I realize—I've never used a Windows machine in my life. I'd only ever used Macs. I couldn't even figure out how to turn it on.I had a computer science degree. I was a software engineer. I'd been running this company for years. But in that moment, I had to admit: “I don't know how to use this machine.” He laughed me out of the room. Literally.That was the day I learned that even the smartest pitch can fall apart if you forget to check which operating system you're using.Anyway—what else is there to talk about with Tupac Shakur? Jeff Pearlman and I figured it out.Episode DescriptionIn this episode, James sits down with bestselling author and journalist Jeff Pearlman (The Last Folk Hero, Showtime, Sweetness) to talk about his latest book, Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur.Pearlman explores the contradictions, brilliance, and tragedy of Tupac's life—how a performing arts kid from Baltimore became the poetic voice of West Coast hip hop, and how his complex identity was shaped by the Black Panther movement, celebrity culture, and the rise of gangsta rap.James and Jeff unpack Tupac's evolution from Digital Underground hype man to solo artist, his influence on music and film, and the deeper meaning behind songs like Brenda's Got a Baby. They also trace the events leading up to his death, separating myth from reality, and reflect on what Tupac's legacy might have become if he'd lived.What You'll LearnWhy Tupac's “gangster” persona was more performance than realityHow his upbringing under a Black Panther mother shaped his worldviewThe untold story behind Brenda's Got a Baby—and how Pearlman found the real “baby” years laterThe truth about Tupac's relationship with Biggie Smalls and the events that led to both of their deathsWhy Tupac might have gone on to become a political or cultural leader, not just a rapperHow hip hop evolved from the storytelling of the '90s to today's more fragmented soundTimestamped Chapters[00:00] Introduction – James shares his connection to Tupac's world [02:43] A Note from James – The web pitch that went wrong [05:00] Why Jeff Pearlman wrote a Tupac book [07:00] The challenge of writing outside his comfort zone [09:00] Tupac's background and the myth of the “gangsta” image [11:00] The evolution of rap from the '80s to now [16:00] What made Tupac's art different from his peers [18:30] Tupac as a natural actor—and how he almost won an Oscar [21:00] Was his “gangster” side authentic or performance?
