All The Celebrity Deaths Linked To Diddy, Including Whitney Houston

Sean "Diddy" Combs' arrest has revealed a lot of darkness in Hollywood—from sexual abuse and trafficking allegations to resurfacing details of the rapper's "dangerous" freak-off parties that were attended by "butt naked" people, according to Khloé Kardashian. The hip-hop artist has also been linked to several celebrity deaths, including Whitney Houston's.

Denied bail, the music mogul also faces an investigation for the shooting of Tupac Shakur in 1996. There's even a debunked myth that Diddy had access to Michael Jackson's home via a secret tunnel, which initially caused people to believe he was involved in the King of Pop's death in 2009. Here are all the celebrity deaths suspiciously tied to the canceled reality TV star, according to industry insiders.

1 Tupac Shakur

Tupac's Family Just Hired A Lawyer To Investigate Diddy's Ties To His Death

Tupac's family had just hired celebrity lawyer, Alex Spiro, to investigate Diddy's involvement in the murder of the Hit 'Em Up performer in 1996. The attorney has previously represented Alec Baldwin, Elon Musk, and Jay-Z, who has been quiet amid mentions of his name in Diddy's scandals. This comes 16 years after ex-gang leader, Duane "Keefe D" Davis, told the LAPD that Diddy offered him $1 million to kill Tupac.

Diddy denied the allegations back then. "The story is a lie," said the Bad Boy Records founder. "Neither I nor the late Notorious B.I.G. had any knowledge of any attack on Tupac before, during, or after it happened." Keefe D isn't the accused gunman in the rapper's drive-by shooting but was the "shot caller" for the group that committed the crime.

2 Biggie Smalls

While Diddy wasn't directly linked to the shooting of Biggie Smalls in 1997, fans found it suspicious that the Juicy hitmaker was reportedly planning on leaving Bad Boy Records just before he was killed. "[Biggie] was absolutely about to leave Puff. I know for a fact [because] he told me that," Hip-hop photographer Monique Bunn told Rolling Stone.

The Rolling Stone's exposé also stated that Diddy "capitalized on the shock and sorrow" of Biggie's passing. As it turned out, Bad Boy was tapped by the magazine for a posthumous cover of the late rapper, months after the tragedy. But the alleged sex trafficker "was like 'No, he's dead. I'm putting out [Diddy's debut album, No Way Out] in July. I need to be on the cover of Rolling Stone," per the label's then-president and co-founder, Kirk Burrowes.

3 Whitney Houston

Diddy Allegedly "Learned" From Whitney's Ex-Producer Clive Davis

According to Diddy's former bodyguard from Bad Boy Records, Gene Deal, the music exec's alleged crimes are "all his doing" and "behavior learned from the people that mentored him," like Andre Harrell, Russell Simmons, and Clive Davis, who's hugely credited for Whitney Houston's stardom.

Gene's statement sparked speculation about whether Clive or even Diddy was responsible for Whitney's accidental drowning in 2012, the day before the Grammy Awards. Clive famously continued his pre-Grammy party just hours after finding out about Whitney's death.

The exec's then-inappropriate choice has now been labeled suspicious, especially after Clive recently said, "Who?" when asked about Diddy's recent controversies. Some say it's old age, but others are convinced that "he's terrified that the truth might come out," per an insider's recent claim.

4 Kim Porter

Kim's Ex-Husband Claimed That Diddy Was Responsible For Her Death

Diddy and Kim Porter were together from 2003 to 2007, although their relationship reportedly started in the '90s after the model's divorce from R&B singer, Al B. Sure! in 1990. The I Want to Work for Diddy star raised Kim and Al's son, Quincy Taylor Brown, as his own and ended up adopting him. In 2018, Kim suddenly died of pneumonia but music whistleblower, Jaguar Wright believes she was "poisoned."

In July 2020, Al B. wrote on Instagram: "I do know very clearly that #Kimberly didn't just check out all of a sudden over [pneumonia]. That's some bull sh**. This is where I get in trouble." Jaguar found it suspicious that Al B. was suddenly hospitalized and had fallen into a two-month coma in 2022.

When TMZ asked Al B. about the raid of Diddy's home early this year, he said he was glad his son wasn't around at that time and that he was "working on the life story. And the way I got to be in a coma, stay tuned." In September, he revealed that there's "evidence" linking Diddy to Kim's sudden death.

In September, Al B. wrote on Instagram that Kim "was allegedly taken from us because she was set on course to accomplish what Mrs. Cassie Ventura did by igniting the Bon Fire [sic] which brings us here today," referring to her mysterious death.

He informed fans that Kim's "missing devices, allegedly already in evidence, unquestionably contain the critical evidence that have been concealed" but "corroborates closely with details outlined in the recently released public indictment document."

5 Andre Harrell And Heavy D

Diddy's Former Mentors Died While Allegedly Writing Tell-Alls

Andre Harrell founded Uptown Records in 1986. Four years later, a 20-year-old Diddy interned for the label. Andre eventually hired the Last Night rapper as an A&R exec who is known for helping develop the careers of Jodeci, Father MC, and Mary J. Blige. Diddy was fired from the company in 1993 because he was "very passionate, and I didn't understand protocol or workplace politics."

Andre later died of heart failure in 2020. Nine years before that, another signee from Uptown Records, Heavy D, was found dead after collapsing outside of his home in Beverly Hills. Jaguar noted that all the "survivors" and the "lates" of the label were "all writing tell-all books" at the time of their health battles and death.

Jaguar questioned the series of events in 2022, nearly a year before Cassie Ventura filed her sexual abuse lawsuit against Diddy. "Has Puffy ever been in a coma? Has anything happened to him?" Jaguar said back then. "He must be the luckiest motherf**ker because it seems like everybody that worked at Uptown Records from the very beginning, are gone. Just him."

Cassie also feared for her life when she was dating Diddy. She "was held down by Mr. Combs and endured over a decade of his violent behavior and disturbed demands," stated the documents she filed to the federal court in New York City. "All aspects of Ms. Ventura's life were controlled by either Mr. Combs or his management companies." Diddy famously settled the lawsuit the very next day. It clearly didn't stop the authorities from investigating him.
