World-famous rapper Tupac Shakur was shot dead in Las Vegas in September 1996 - an assassination that was never officially solved.

Former gang member Duane "Keefe D" Davis was charged with his murder last year - and claimed Diddy offered him $1 million (£769,000) to kill Tupac.

Diddy, 54, has previously refuted any involvement in Tupac's death - but the rapper's brother, Mopreme Shakur, said he has "doubts" over his denial.

Parham first spoke to him on FaceTime via a mutual friend and was told he would make her "pay" for comments about his involvement in Tupac's death, according to the lawsuit.

The suit, filed in California federal court, goes on to claim that the mutual friend, Shane Pearce, invited her to his Bay Area home on March 23, 2018, where Diddy was waiting.

She says he told her "she thought she would never see him in person" and pointed a knife at her, threatening to cut her cheeks into a "Glasgow smile," meaning a slash from ear to mouth.

Parham goes on to say Diddy's assistant Kristina Khorram told him not to as they could sell her for sex instead - threatening to ship Parham overseas.

The lawsuit goes into graphic detail about the alleged assault claiming Diddy covered Parham in "oil or lubricant" and used a TV remote to violently rape her.

The suit claims Parham attempted to escape after the assault to Diddy's surprise - as he thought he gave her "enough drugs to take out a horse," according to the filing.

She also said he offered her money to say the sex was consensual and threatened her family when she said she would go to the .

The lawsuit goes on to say one of Diddy's friends showed her a livestream of her own sister's home.

A struggle then ensued between Parham, Diddy, and another man who pulled a gun on him when he allegedly hinted at being behind Tupac's death.

Diddy fled, and Parham claims she went to neighbors for help, telling police she was "violently gang raped" by Diddy and his friends.

She claims a deputy told her several neighbors had called in noise complaints and that she should "find a way to get home."

A timeline of Diddy's downfall

BY Forest McFarland, Senior News Reporter

BEFORE Sean "Diddy" Combs' arrest on Monday night, it had been highly speculated that the rap star would find himself in custody after he was repeatedly hit with disturbing accusations - and had two of his mansions raided by the feds.

His mounting legal troubles finally came to a head on September 17, when he was charged with three federal counts, including sex trafficking, for allegedly forcing victims to take part in drug-fueled sex parties he called "Freak Offs."

Hours before his arrest, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed the feds investigating Combs were secretly liaising with Tupac Shakur murder prosecutors on gangland activities.

The development also came after Combs was named 77 times in documents submitted by prosecutors in the Tupac murder case.

Aside from the Tupac probe, Combs was already facing a slew of lawsuits, including one he settled with his ex, Cassie Ventura, after she accused him of rape and abuse.

Disturbing hotel surveillance video from 2016 showed Combs chasing Cassie down and then punching, kicking, and beating her in a hallway.

Two months earlier, in March 2024, two of Combs' mansions were raided by federal investigators, who seized three AR-15s, drugs, and 1,000 bottles of lube which were part of his "Freak Off" supplies.

In addition to his federal criminal charges, Combs also faces a handful of lawsuits with allegations of sexual assault, harassment, and sex trafficking dating back to the early 1990s.

Music producer Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones filed one suit in February 2024, claiming Combs forced him to hire sex workers and participate in sex acts while he worked on his latest album.

Combs has denied any wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to the federal sex trafficking charges against him, but his battle is far from over.

He faces life in prison if he's convicted on all counts.

He reportedly "did not offer to take [Parham] home, nor did he call for emergency services including an ambulance, nor any offer to take [her] to the hospital, nor any offer to help [her] recover her clothes or effects", the suit reads.

She went to a doctor days later and a hospital three weeks later, where she was given a rape kit, and staff called the local Walnut Creek Police.

Parham claims her police report doesn't name Diddy because she "believed she would be ignored... and/or would be further harmed by defendant Diddy if he discovered she named him to police".

She also claims to have reported the crime to Orinda Police Department "but again was too afraid to name Defendant Diddy as one of her assailants."

Parham is suing for sexual assault and battery, abuse, false imprisonment, and kidnapping, demanding a trial by jury.

She says none of the police she went to opened an investigation.

Diddy was arrested on September 16 in Manhattan by Homeland Security on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.

He was charged on three federal counts with one alleging he forced his victims to take part in drug-fuelled sex parties he called "freak-offs."

Diddy is facing a slew of accusations, including rape and sexual assault, from some 120 alleged victims in different criminal and civil lawsuits that have been made following his arrest.

One filed by an unnamed John Doe in a New York court on Monday accuses him of sexual assault when the alleged victim was only 16.

It describes the disgraced rapper as "a menace to society, women and children."

He is being held in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center and has been denied bail twice.
