About the show

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.
