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

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?

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]

    You know, i don’t know why some people on here is like they should just move on, that was over 10 years ago…okay, and? If that were your son, your brother, your man, you would want the person responsible to pay for what they did….it’s stupid to tell people to get over it and move on….I for one am glad the FBI is still investigating, and i’m glad that there’s a reporter/investigator still interested enough in the story to keep searching for the truth in this case, and i pray that one day, if they find the proof, cause i know the muthafucka knew what was up, but i hope one day if they find the proof that puffy was involved, i hope that bitch pay! I read the entire story, and in the past looked at all the documentaries and articles, and it just appeared that puff knows wayyyy more than he’s letting on. I don’t believe for one bit his cockamamee story he’s trying to tell, that he was simply biggies friend, and oh god my poor friend died, but now i’m going to carry on this legend, he’s acting like he heard nothing or saw nothing (BULLSHIT) There’s no way you could have hung around that crowd, and knew nothing!…I think he knows biggies death was retaliation for shit they they had indeed did to tupac, and now he wants to move on and put everything behind him…biggie and pac had a horrible beef, and no doubt they were both doing shit behind the scenes that were terrible, and for puff to act as if he knows nothing, that he heard nothing, is straight bullshit, and even a idiot could see through his glass story. He just wants this shit to go away……i hope they stay on your ass until it’s his turn to be put in the ground turn due to old age, or whatever else HIS GOD has in store for you. Fame and money make people do horrible things, and even though he may have grown since then, i could give less than a fuck..negro needs to pay if he had any thing to do with any of the shootings of pac. That whole beef just completed got outta hand; while pac had beef with biggie, he seemed to really hate puff because i think he felt puff is always in biggie’s ear, spear heading that beef and encouraging it……So while i do not believe Puffy pulled any triggers, having prior knowledgeof a crime, and not telling, is equivalent to pulling the damn trigger, cause he could have stopped it. In fact, he profited greatly from this beef…..If biggie and pac were still here, puff would not be where he is and he knows it, that bitch would still be trying to promote and overbooking concerts and killin folks…bitch!

    THERE’S GOOD OLD JUDAH!!!!!!

    I must say, I actually missed the wild, uberpious, proselytizer’s fantasies you’d share with us on so many issues. Good to have you back to blame everything on the Devil.

    Though it pains me to do so at our reunion, lol, I must say that I agree with you to an extent on a couple of points:

    a) While I won’t say for certain that I believe Diddy did it (I don’t have the information necessary to make such an accusation), I don’t think he’d tell us if he did. Biggie and Tupac are dead, so he might rationalize that no one to whom he owes direct remorse is here to receive it anyway.

    b) I agree wholeheartedly that Tupac was brilliant – more so than Biggie – but I don’t know about him being a Chosen One, lol.

    Now…….this Will Smith thing: I’d like to know how you know that he’s a homosexual or a…what’s the word again…satanist? Oh, if you’d indulge me, tell me how I can spot either, and what’s wrong with each, so that I, too, can be a Crusader.

  4. PROVOST...

    OH! By the WAY, JUDAH:

    Seriously, could you tell me what’s wrong with Freemasonry or the Skulls & Bones?
    Funny: the Skull’s Tomb is actually (I wouldn’t lie; it’s not Godly) my desktop right now, and as for Freemasonry, well… ;-)

    This is a clip of the South Park episode “Trapped in the Closet”, this is actually what Scientologists believe. Disregard Tom Cruise’s crazy babble and only pay attention to what the animated character is explaining.

    I don’t know about this whole Diddy story but Tupac is the greatest rapper of all time and that’s all I got to say.

  11. Emma V's Great-Grandaughter

    I;m not sure about Diddy being involved in the Tupac Shakur shooting back in 1994.

    congrats to India.

    Will and Jada are getting crazier and crazier. We all know that both of them swing the other way, oh what the heck they both need JESUS.

  12. Jess

    “Neither Biggie nor I had any knowledge of any attack before, during, or after it happened.”

    They were in the building and SAW Tupac after he got shot (he said this years ago)…..WTF he’s obviously lying.

    scientology? that “religion” is so strange. i have researched it because i don’t like to talk sh*t about something that i dont know about. scientology is creepy. it is funny that they say he is a scientologist. he does like doing those alien movies. bottom line, i don’t like the religion, i dont believe it, and i think its all brain washing just like most of the other religions in this world. just do u. why follow someone else. i am my own peson/god. i look out for me

    Will Smith, Jada Pinkett and Kimora Lee Simmons are loudly denying Radar magazine’s claims that they’ve been recruited into — dun dun dun! — the Church of Scientology.

    Smith, a good buddy of Scientology poster boy Tom Cruise, denies he is a church member. “You don’t have to be Jewish to be a friend of Steven Spielberg. You don’t have to be a Muslim to be a friend of Muhammad Ali. And you don’t have to be a Scientologist to be a friend of Tom Cruise,” Smith tells us. “I am a Christian. I am a student of all religions. And I respect all people and all paths.”

    Despite reports she distributed the Scientology book “The Way to Happiness” to N.Y. school kids, Simmons’ reps also denied her involvement.

    But while celebs are distancing themselves from the cultlike religion, Radar’s blistering six-page expose of the church says leaders are more concerned by the dissension of its former members, namely the shadowy network of ex-Scientologists known as “Anonymous.”

    The group is credited with leaking the now-infamous recruiting tape of Cruise laughing maniacally (in an equally creepy turtleneck). The pranksters/hackers also managed to crash the church’s Web site for three days and post confidential Scientololgy documents and lectures on YouTube.

    Said Church spokeswoman Karin Pouw: “This group of cyber-terrorists … has targeted the Scientology religion with hate speech and hate crimes” and has even left “threats to plant nitroglycerin bombs in churches.”

  20. nete

    DID KNOWS WHO KILLED BIGGIE AND PAC! I SWEAR

  21. Mike Belgrove

    We’ve been covering the story with Tupac’s shooting over at Highbrid Nation and honestly I don’t know. I have no doubt that Diddy is a shady character but somehow I just don’t buy that he knew or was somehow involved. I’m gonna be watching this one closly though.

  22. It would be a damn shame if both Biggie and Diddy were involved. Such talented brothers! But one has to wonder why Pac was so pissed back in the day. After all these years the saga continues…

  23. NISH
