Puff Daddy? Say it Ain't So

Not that I care if it was, but the LA Times is reporting that Puff Daddy had something to do with Tupac Shakur's shooting and mugging outside a studio. Not the shooting that ultimately ended his life, but an earlier one. It involved disrespect and Tupac's "insolent attitude." A gangster named Redmond, it is reported, arranged for three assailants to assault Tupac as he was arriving to a recording studio, where Combs, Redmond and others from Bad Boy Records were waiting. When he arrived, Tupac was immediately mugged and shot four times. The story says he then stumbled up to the 10th floor, accused Redmond of orchestrating the whole thing, sat down on a couch (bleeding all over the place), rolled a joint, and called his girlfriend who called his mom. The next day he went to prison for gang-raping a female fan, and from prison he would repeatedly accuse Bad Boy of the assault. Read the whole thing - it's fascinating. Combs and others have denied the story vehemently.
