Last week the L.A. Times published an article about a 1994 attack on Tupac Shakur that linked Sean “P. Diddy” Combs to the attack. The Smoking Gun investigated and says the Times was the victim of a hoax:
The Times appears to have been hoaxed by an imprisoned con man and accomplished document forger, an audacious swindler who has created a fantasy world in which he managed hip-hop luminaries, conducted business with Combs, Shakur, Busta Rhymes, and The Notorious B.I.G., and even served as Combs’s trusted emissary to Death Row Records boss Marion “Suge” Knight during the outset of hostilities in the bloody East Coast-West Coast rap feud.
