LA Times Apologises For P Diddy AccusationsMarch 27, 2008
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs initially called claims of his involvement in the 1994 shooting of iconic rapper Tupac Shakur a ‘libellous piece of garbage’.
Now, in the most recent turn of events, it appears he was right. The LA Times today released a statement apologising for the use of duped documents, as reported by the BBC. LA Times editor Russ Stanton said: "The bottom line is that the documents we relied on should not have been used." Stanton launched an investigation into the sources used for the article after questions arose over their legitimacy. All the sources, that included FBI records, interviews with people at the scene and statements to the FBI by an informant, were unnamed. Though writer Chuck Philips claimed to have analysed the legitimacy of the sources before he used them in his article, he now said the he wished he had done more to establish their reliability. Philip’s article suggested that Combs was involved directly in the 1994 shooting that sparked a murderous feud between East and West coast rappers in the states, which culminated in the murders of Shakur and Notorious BIG. Though Combs declined to be interviewed over the article, which appeared on the LA Times Online last week, he immediately refuted the claims, asking fans to “analyse this piece of fiction for what it is.” (by Hazel Sheffield) See also: Police Investigating P.
