With Biggie's murder still unsolved, Diddy has come under fire recently with the release of the crime documentary 'Murder Rap: The Untold Story of the Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur Murder Investigations.' 

Retired LAPD cop Greg Kading has come forward during the documentary pointing the blame at Diddy for playing some part in the deaths of both rappers.
