The Los Angeles Times has linked two former associates of rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs to a 1994 assault on singer Tupac Shakur and suggested Combs knew of the attack in advance. Combs called the story "a lie."
The newspaper's report on Monday cited an unnamed source who said he was questioned during a federal probe of the shooting and beating of Shakur at the Quad Recording Studios in New York City.
Combs' associates helped plan the attack, the source told the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Times. The paper said it corroborated the source's comments in several ways.
The Times suggested Combs and another rapper, the Notorious B.I.G. (Christopher Wallace), knew Shakur was being set up. For years, Shakur claimed Combs was involved, it said.
"This story is a lie," Combs said in a statement on Monday. "It is beyond ridiculous and is completely false. Neither Biggie (Wallace) nor I had any knowledge of any attack before, during or after it happened."

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.
