Diddy Denies L.A Times’ Tupac Claims, Paper Apologizes

(andPOP) - The Los Angeles Time is eating their words.

L.A Times writer Chuck Philips is now apologizing for a recent story claiming P. Diddy (back when he was Puff Daddy) knew of a planned ambush on rapper Tupac Shakur in 1994 before his untimely death.

While Philips and the paper are attempting to make amends and back away from the accusations, Diddy still isn’t happy about the whole situation.

"I've been through so much; hip-hop has been through so much; Biggie's, Tupac's [families] have been through so much," he told MTV News, according to MTV.ca. "To rehash the lies and just rumors like that, I didn't understand where that was coming from. I knew that I would never - me and Biggie would never be involved, or even have any knowledge of that. Because if we have knowledge of something, we the type of people that's gonna warn somebody, we're gonna tell somebody. It just really hurt."

Jimmy Rosemond was accused in the story of being a mastermind behind the Shakur ambush is calling for legal action and the resignation of Chuck Philips.

Diddy may be hurt by Philip’s story but he is not putting any effort into getting the Pulitzer-Prize-winning writer fired from the L.A Times.

"It's so ridiculous for me, I'm not even giving no energy to it," Diddy said. "I don't wish anybody no ill will. I'm just glad the truth came out. I can't even really justify it with no more energy, so I don't even wanna talk about it no more.
