Fame Under Fire: The Tupac Murder Trial

by BBC Sounds

Who killed Tupac Shakur? Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty takes you inside the courtroom for the Las Vegas trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis - the man accused of the murder of Tupac. Davis has entered a not guilty plea and denies all charges. From the team that brought you Diddy on Trial, Fame Under Fire is the BBC podcast that follows the world's biggest celebrity trials and the stories surrounding them - separating fact from fiction as major legal cases unfold in real time. With journalists, legal experts, and eyewitness reporting, we explain what happened in court, what it means legally, and why it matters culturally. We examine the narratives that grow around high-profile cases and test them against the evidence. This isn't a celebrity gossip show. It's a fact-led, accessible guide to the trials everyone is talking about, with serious analysis and sharp conversation.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This is a very useful podcast and i lik e it because of the controvesy surrounding the topic, the fact that they’re less biased than other big names coveting it, and the daily updates are wondeful

neinvksncdksivniwnd · May 2025

I’m really liking the daily update episodes of the trial and have been listening to this pod for months. I will say more so than ever the ads in the episodes are getting longer which is unfortunate because the episodes are already so short, they basically take up half the episode!

Februaryfrenzy · May 2025

I wanted to give a perfect rating, but the American correspondent has a terrible habit of starting every response to the English woman’s questions with the word “yeah”. It takes away from her credibility as a journalist when she sounds like she is gossiping. Other wise, it is a great podcast.
