“What people don’t understand is that Trackmasters were there, Puffy came down to say hi to me, and Andre Harrell — Andre Harrell was there,” he said. “There was a guy by the name of Mark Sigel; he was the president of ICM at the time, ICM the agency talent group. You had Trackmasters, Little Shawn, Bryce Wilson — there was about 15 people there. So people in their mind, when they hear this story, they think it was just a bunch of guys, including me, trying to summon Tupac to the studio for no reason, on some hangout stuff. But it was all business. I was doing business that day as I have done, before then and after that. But as the story went on, the fairy tale of it got bigger, which really wasn’t the truth.”

Fake FBI Docs!?!?!
So the now infamous LA Times Article from last week may (what a shocker!) have some holes in it. Check out the MTV article and check out how Miss Info breaks it down.
According to the report, the allegations that the shooting was carried out by associates of Combs’, and that he knew of the plot beforehand, were largely based on faked FBI reports cooked up by “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’ trusted emissary to Death Row Records boss Marion ‘Suge’ Knight during the outset of hostilities in the bloody East Coast-West Coast rap feud.”
The man in question, according to the site, is James Sabatino, 31, who it claims has sought for years to wedge himself, after the fact, into a string of important hip-hop events, including Shakur’s shooting and the murder of the Notorious B.I.G., though little evidence exists that he ever met or had contact with either man. Sabatino is described by the site as a “wildly impulsive, overweight white kid from Florida” who was little more than a rap fan and whose father once described him in a letter to a federal judge as “a disturbed young man who needed attention like a drug.”

Diddy’s Denying
As expected, Diddy’s Denying, from AHH:
In an exclusive statement to AllHipHop.com, Sean “Diddy” Combs vehemently denied the allegations in the Los Angeles Times.
“This story is beyond ridiculous and completely false,” Combs told AllHipHop.com. “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,” Combs stated.
