Diddy speaking to the press last month. (Wireimage)
Sean ” Diddy” Combs has spoken out about a published report that has linked him to the 1994 shooting of Tupac Shakur.
An article published earlier today in the L.A. Times claims Diddy (and The Notorious B.I.G.) were informed of the plan, hatched by Jimmy Henchman and James Sabatino, which resulted in Tupac getting shot 5x and sparking a sensationalized rap war.
But Diddy tells Concreteloop.com, through his rep, that none of this is true.
“This story is beyond ridiculous and is completely false. Neither Biggie 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.” he said.
INDIA.ARIE TO STAR IN PLAY
India.Arie at an event last year. (Splash)
Last week it was announced that Grammy-winning R&B singer-songwriter India.Arie will star in the first Broadway revival of “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow Is Enuf.”
Often described as a choreopoem, the play presents the stories of seven women of color from the African Diaspora.
No other cast members have been chosen, nor has a theater been named. It is scheduled to begin previews in mid-July, ahead of an opening in early August. Shirley Jo Finney will direct, and three-time Tony winner Hinton Battle will choreograph.
Word is Whoopi Goldberg will be producing it.
WILL SMITH CHANGES RELIGION?
Tom Cruise & Will Smith at event last year. (Wireimage)
It was reported recently in New York Daily News that Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith recently joined the long list of celebrities affiliated the Church of Scientology.
They said he distributed gifts to his entire crew, complete with a Scientology screening test, after filming for his new comedy Hancock was complete. Of course, Smith’s reps deny any affiliation, but sources insist the two are becoming more and more involved in the church.
“It’s not so much that anyone is upset that Will is becoming a Scientologist,” the source added after seeing a copy of the nine-page Radar piece. “It’s that as he becomes more involved, you’d think he’d sort of help fly the flag with Tom (Cruise), who seems to only get a bad rap for it, while Will does this and comes through just fine.” [SOURCE]
oh my gosh are they SERIOUS…what is the correalation…are they kidding me??!!
india looks aight here
India! We need to see more of her on TV.
Of course Diddy gonna deny it. If it is true or not..we will never know he is not gonna own up to having any involvement in such a scandal.
Glad to see India getting some work..she is so talented and under rated. Her first CD is still one of my favorites.
No surprise @ Will Tom put roots on his ass lol
this is silly.
scientology? hey whatever works for you. puffy? never trusted him. India, For Colored Girls is a great move for her, it should be GREAT!!!
This (Will) doesnt deserve a comment.
Congrats to India. She deserves it.
And, Diddy….again no comment.
Will nd jada scientology??? damnit!!! isnt that just a cult nd not a religion??? everything a religion now, gimmie that lil boy jayden nd his siblings imma show ‘em a religion!! imma take dem kids to ma church!!!!
god is goood!!! all day every day!!!!
diddy = trouble
—–something is definitely false in Mr. Comb’s statement!!!
News outlets can be very irresponsible sometimes. Kudos to Concreteloop for not being one of them. As far as Diddy, I hope that’s not true. Both deaths were senseless and purposeless, and I hope they serve as an example of how hate can escalate out of control if you don’t watch it. Congrats to India! And Will a scientologist?! I gotta do more research on this religion, but just because him and Tom are cool doesn’t mean… hell who knows these days? But why the concern over who catches flack for it? Why does it matter? Somebody always has to compare people.
What’s really going on with all this Scientology bullshit?
I DON’T BELIEVE THIS… I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT DIDDY HAD SUMMIN TO DO WITH THE MURDER. NOT THAT HE ACTUALLY PULLED THE TRIGGER BUT HE NEW ABOUT IT..
I don’t what to believe…but regardless of whose wrong or right, someone is foul. RIP 2pac for life!
But if Diddy did have something to do with it, karma is a b****. That man is at the top of the game, and that would completely knock him off his pedestal. But he needs to be humbled in my opinion, anyway.
These people are going to make Will be a Scientologist even though he says he’s not. Just because he’s friends with Tom. I wonder if Tom were a buddhist would they be accusing Will of being one too?
I don’t agree with Scientology principles. I just think that is a religion for rich people who don’t want to feel guilt in their sins lol just joking but I do still still by me not agreeing with the principles but still likes Will. Anyways of course Diddy is going to reject those allegations however the truth will come out. I’m proud of India.Arie it’s time we see you girl! lol
Oh, is doing “broadway” the new “in” thing with actors? I know people like Denzel have been doing the stage for years, but there seems to be an increase lately.
the writer contradicts himself. he said that they didn’t want tupac to be murdered, just ruffed up; but tupac pulled out a gun and it escalated.
then, he goes on to say they were mad when they found out he was still alive.
I was waiting for this story to come up. It’s about time this man is shown to be the coward and devil that he is. Tupac was many things, but stupid was not one of them. Anyone who thinks that the brother had the vitriol that he had in his rhymes against Biggie Smalls and Sean Combs was unfounded, isn’t paying attention. That was an attempt to sacrifice Tupac so that Biggie Smalls and Puffy could advance to the next level. That’s how satanism works. Not only that, but I believe they were behind Tupac’s eventual execution in Las Vegas. The song “Long Kiss Goodnight” on the “Life After Death” album is a virtual unrepentant confession by this dude, Biggie Smalls, that everyone wants to deify and see a movie about. Puffy is where he is at because he himself sacrificed Biggie Smalls after they both sacrificed Tupac. Tupac was a brilliant brother with demons and he was also well-read and well-studied. This is why when he came out of jail, he attacked Bad Boy and the satanism that they were into. This is what “Don (K)illuminati” was about. The affiliation with Death Row was a Machiavellian, hence the name Makaveli, attempt by Tupac to set himself up on an established record label on par with Bad Boy so that he could levy his attacks with power behind him. Masonry and Satan worship has always been a part of popular music but the attempt on Tupac’s life was the first attempted murder, to my knowledge, in an attempt to achieve superstardom for another artist. Tupac; due to his love for his people, and his need to speak the truth concerning the plight of the black male, really never stood a chance.
The Will Smith story is old. It’s common knowledge that Will Smith is a satanist and a homosexual. The man will do anything to maintain his stardom.
DIDDY IS A LIAR
Ask diddy about Tut what aobut King Tut them niggaz know something I’m not beat!
Diddy does know something
he rolled with everyone that hated Tupac
like 50 said “When Pac got shot, I got a kite from the pen saying Tut got knocked.”
And Tut rolled with Diddy and Jimmy Henchmen and Haitian Jack don’t front them niggaz were the gangstas of Brooklyn fuk that the gangstas of NYC and they all hated Pac
This play definitely needs a revival at this time since the media is being so anti-black women with the help of our black “brothers” of course (thanks Rappers I will not even use my computers memory to download your stupid songs)
You all need to stop with the BULLSHIT. Black people always crying conspiracy and believe any piece of bullshit the media throws at them. GET A LIFE.
I I guess proactiv is working for P Diddy…….LMAO
man. come on will YOURE BLACK
@ Judah
You might start something with that comment on hip-hop being involved with the illuminati or the skulls and bones, freemasontry etc. lol. I’ve been reading on that and it is very interesting however these are theories that have been exposed for yeasr. The youtubes videos that were created by some people who have deeply studied it are really good too. I don’t know what to think but rest one eye open on this but it is good to hear some people aware of it.
Why are they even mentioning Puff had some involvement in that first shooting, now? Did they miss Tupac’s two years of unrelenting hatemongering against them? I mean, he’s already told us HE THOUGHT they did it…
India Arie, GREAT. Please correct the spelling of her name in the heading…
Will and Jada are obviously fucking enamored of Tom Cruise. They’re so fucking lame! When they threw that party for the Beckhams, Victoria was snubbing their asses for all the world to see. Go look at the pictures, they NEVER even come close to touching. And, all Jada talks about is being friends with Tom…OKAY, GREAT motherfucker, it’s the new millenium, we’re all “mixing”… What dumb ass wannabes!
i mean, you saw it commin, will hangin with tom the scientologist jesus.
i thought he would have fought that shit off but oh well
I think the difference between Tom and other Scientologist affiliates is that he seems so militant about it…
Rumor is Jada was interested…she converted first and though will WAS and IS skeptical, he joined to match her interest. And, it seems about right…After the movie she did with Tom, she and Tom became great friends…She talked about giving him a “ghetto kit,” complete with a platinum chains, rap CD’s, etc… Well, everyone says Scientologists usually give these “packets” when trying to recruit members… Jada says her gift was a gag gift, a joke… And, I’m thinking Tom gave her a Scientology packet and her gift was a sort of playful exchange. Anyway, I’m buying that they are Scientologists…Jada was as excited to be friends with Tom as Eve is to be friends with Ken Pavis and as Jay Z is to be friends with Mr. Paltrow. Can we not here about it everyday?
R.I.P. Tupac. Fuck Diddy.
what. don’t jump down my throat, but what did p diddy have against tupac to want him killed. and what exactly is scientology, it doesn’t sound like a religion it sounds like a class or the study of science.
i always thought diddy knew what went down in both Tupac and Biggie’s murders. BITCHASS!!
yaaaay for India!! and Whoopi’s producing it? that’s great!!
i can’t believe will and jada fell for this foolishness, i have no words.
I hope the will Smith rumor aint true.
Something seems false about diddy’s statement
of course diddy is going to deny it. no one will ever no what happened. I remember the documentary on VH1 and showed biggie and diddy coming outside to see tupac on a stretcher, Tupac was holding his middle finger up cuz he thought they had set him up. i think they knew something.
And i need to do some research on this Scientology religion
I cant put my finger on it but theres somethin too suspect about diddy, heck i wouldn’t be suprised if he had something to do with biggie’s death.
if neither one of these gentlemen had anything to do with or knowledge of mr.shakur’s assault,i suggest they get there lawyer to sue the LA TIMES.HAVE A NICE DAY
everytime i see diddy he has his mouth hangin open like “a durr”. and i’m confused about this scientology religion.
#31, it does sound like a class doesn’t it!!!!!!!!!!
im happy for india arie. she does need more publicity though
Diddy knew, the streets knew that pac did not lie on his songs in naming names of those who set him up…how..his chains were being worn in prison by others?..yes prison. Dudes on the rock here in New York saw that african queen pendant he used to rock being worn in the yard. This man is a bold faced liar…..Just like he let shyne sink himself…doesn’t everyone around diddy at one time either walk away or completely destroy themselves? Anyone seen the rest of total’s members lately?
scientology is pretty crazy….i can’t quite remember cause this was back in highschool when i learned this (i went to a christian school and in bible class for a semester we studied different cults/religions) buuut supposedly one of their beliefs is a giant hippopotamus comes down from space…and it has something to do with creating the world and saving it….i dont remember all of it…i just remember after those couple of days on lecture on that subject i was like DAYUMMM how anyone could believe that shit is beyond me….so even though i dont remember exactly what it is..i’m stickin with my original belief.
I hope that the Diddy’s ties to the Tupac murder is not true.
I dont think Will and Jada changed their religion its probably just another rumor.
GO INDIA BEAUTIFUL TALENTED BLACK SIS. I KNOW U GONNA ROCK BROADWAY!!!!!
I wish the murders of Pac and Big get solved instead of an article coming out every year full of speculations.
Will to each it’s own I knew it was bound to happen with him hanging out Tom and all.
what’s the thing about scientology that’s so great?
i don’t get it!!!
Yeah blame Diddy & Biggie for 2pac death. And also throw in Diddy for Biggie death as well. And please STOP SMOKING CRACK!!!
will and jada need to stay away from tom cruise. I mean who can believe that scientology crap…it’s too ridiculous
Diddy is a murderer.
Oh gosh Diddy. I wonder about him at times.
Scientogy? LMAO I cant even spell it right lol. I know that stuff is crazy.
I love India, she has a lovely voice. The last song I heard from her was that one with Akon ‘I am not my hair’. Congrats to her tho.

Maybe Diddy did have somethin 2 do wit da shootin of Tupac………………only God knows 4 sure!!!
I really like india. She’s HOT. Diddy is a fag and he is the one who has the “bitchassness” syndrome lol As for Will, to each their own. Let that man do whatever he wants. Out of curiousity, I wonder who he prays to??? (“oh, thank science for this wonderful day it has created!” lmao Just a thought.)
diddy had no part fuck you idiots you dumb fucks belive anything
i love India.Arie such an under-rated artist.
I AM NOT SHOCKED IN THE LEAST BIT ABOUT PUFFY….ANYONE THAT KNEW HIM BACK IN THE DAY KNOW THIS NEGRO WAS SO FAME AND MONEY STARVED, I THINK HE WOULD DO ANYTHING…I BELIEVE EVERY DAMN WORD THAT WAS WRITTEN….THEM STREETS TALK, AND TUPAC FOUND OUT WHAT WAS UP, THAT’S WHY HE WROTE THAT DISS SONG….WHY WOULD HE BLAME THEM IF THEY WEREN’T INVOLVED…YAW KNOW HOW THAT GOES, ONE NEGRO TELL ANOTHER, AND HE TELLS ANOTHER, AND HE TELLS ANOTHER…AND EVERYBODY THOUGHT PAC WAS LYING WHEN HE WAS SAYING HE KNEW THAT PUFF AND BIGGIE KNEW WHAT WAS ABOUT TO GO DOWN…..SORRY, BUT I BELIEVE THIS ONE, IT’S ALWAYS BEEN MY THEORY FROM THE START….THAT WHOLE BEEF JUST GOT OUT OF HAND AT THE END OF THE DAY….
CONGRATS TO INDIA!
PLEASE BACK UP OFF WILL….I’M SICK OF PEOPLE HATING ON THAT FABULLOUS FINE ASS DAMN NEAR PERFECT MAN!
Please tell me Will and Jada didn’t cross over to the dark side!
biggest faggot to walk this earth will get his in due time. it’s funny he thinks people like his ass but he will get his, its coming !
LMAO at people believin the same dude who wrote that BIGGIE was in Vegas the night Pac got killed when infact he was in Jerzey. They’re just milking this story because dumb ass people keep believin everything they read. Puff probably knows WHO did it but he was not involved (in the first shootin)
And who gives a fuck what Will does? SMH this site got the dumbest posters out there, like people is supposed to do everything U WANT shut the fuck up.
I believe the Beckham’s are heavy in to that scientology too ,among other things .
The Diddy news is not really news I figured that much.
Congrats India .
Ok, Will , Jada I truly hope you are NOT involved with the foolishness of scientology. it would break my heart to know that someone would go into that as an alternative to a real faith. I have done my research and the “church” of scientology is for lack of adequate description, a hot mess that costs a lot of money. Will, Jada, don’t do it please.
