Diddy-Tupac Murder Link - All A Big Lie

Wow! This is a interesting story, The Smoking Gun published concerning the Tupac-Diddy murder link. According TSG, the information the LA Times story was based off of were fabricated FBI documents. The source of the LA Times story, federal convict, James Sabatino, supplied the Times with false statements and forged documents.

It was only a week ago the paper published, "FBI records recently obtained by The Times." Well only if we knew those documents were forged, and the story was trash from the beginning. Maybe, the well-paid journalist at the Times next time will be more thorough when they receive any sensitive documents or records.

From Rolling Stone...
The writer of the Los Angeles Times exposé on a 1994 Tupac Shakur shooting has defended the article despite denials by both Sean “Diddy” Combs and James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond. In a live chat on the Los Angeles Times website, Chuck Phillips said he didn’t seek out the story -- which alleged two Bad Boy Records associates were behind the ‘94 robbery and shooting of Shakur -- but that he “stumbled on it last year after learning the street names of the assailants.”

Diddy May Face $150 Million Dollar Suit

MTV News is reporting, Bad Boy Entertainment and it's CEO Sean "Diddy" Combs is among listed parties of an $130 million dollar civil suit. Combs recently completed his deposition on the December 1999 NYC shooting. The judge must still decide rather the suit will go to trial and which parties will then follow.

From MTV News,
After nearly two years, Sean "Diddy" Combs completed his deposition last week in the $130 million civil lawsuit stemming from the 1999 Club New York shooting that sent the Bad Boy CEO's former protégé, Shyne, to prison, MTV News has learned. According to Shyne's legal counsel, Oscar Michelen, Diddy completed his deposition on Wednesday, which now puts the wheels in motion for a trial date to be set, possibly as soon as early 2009. Diddy's busy schedule, along with litigation from the charges against Shyne, resulted in the hip-hop mogul's deposition being stretched out over time. Bad Boy employee Derek Ferguson is the next and last party scheduled for deposition, Michelen said.

Combs' lawyers responded to the story telling MTV News.

"Mr. Combs was acquitted by a jury of all charges related to this 1999 incident and we are confident that he will prevail in this civil lawsuit," an e-mail sent to MTV News read.

More to come.

Combs Denies Tupac Link

Sean "Diddy" Combs and Jimmy "Henchman" Rosemond quickly responded to the published LA Times story. Combs and Rosemond both blasted the story and denied any connection..

Sean "Diddy" Combs and manager Jimmy "Henchman" Rosemond issued quick and angry denials about an L.A. Times report released Monday morning claiming they were behind the 1994 shooting of Tupac Shakur at Quad Recording Studios in Times Square.

"This story is beyond ridiculous and is completely false," Diddy said in a statement Monday. "Neither Biggie [Smalls, the rapper at the center of Combs' Bad Boy Productions company] nor I had any knowledge of any attack before, during, or after it happened. It is a complete lie to suggest that there was any involvement by Biggie or myself. I am shocked that the Los Angeles Times would be so irresponsible as to publish such a baseless and completely untrue story."

Rosemond, now CEO of Czar Entertainment, said in a statement, "in the past 14 years, I have not even been questioned by law enforcement with regard to the assault of Tupac Shakur, let alone brought up on charges."

DK's "Welcome to the Dollhouse"

As most of you know, Danity Kane's sophomore album "Welcome to the Dollhouse" hit store shelves today... Your thoughts?

Puffy Connection to Tupac's Death?

The Los Angeles Times reports an apparent connection between Sean Combs and Tupac Shakur's death. The Times goes in-depth of the murder of Shakur.. Here is an excerpt

Now, newly discovered information, including interviews with people who were at the studio that night, lends credence to Shakur's insistence that associates of rap impresario Sean "Diddy" Combs were behind the assault. Their alleged motives: to punish Shakur for disrespecting them and rejecting their business overtures and, not incidentally, to curry favor with Combs.

The information focuses on two New York hip-hop figures -- talent manager James "Jimmy Henchman" Rosemond and promoter James Sabatino, who is now in prison for unrelated crimes.

FBI records obtained recently by The Times say that a confidential informant told authorities in 2002 that Rosemond and Sabatino "set up the rapper Tupac Shakur to get shot at Quad Studios." The informant said Sabatino had told him that Shakur "had to be dealt with."

The records -- summaries of FBI interviews with the informant conducted in July and December 2002 -- provide details of how Shakur was lured to the studio and ambushed. Others with knowledge of the incident corroborated the informant's account in interviews with The Times and gave additional details.

One would think, any information from informants has to be called into question.. Especially with the unknown backgrounds of the individuals.. We'll follow it for any further developments.
