According to Pulitzer prize winner Chuck Phillips, Sean Combs was told personally about the planned Tupac ambush.
In an upcoming LA Times article set to hit their site today, FBI records and exclusive interviews with individuals who were at the studio that night support Pac's suspicions that Biggie and Diddy knew about the planned assault.
"Tupac was mostly right about what he wrote about [in his songs]," Phillips tells Allhiphop.com.
He goes on to say however, that Pac was wrong about BadBoy's involvement in the shooting.
In other news…
"Tupac’s shooting at the Quad was really catalyst for everything that happened afterwards including his own death and including the death of Biggie, it started the whole thing off and if you lay it out in a timeline which I do, you can just see; it’s obvious and kind of sad for two guys to be this talented. I ended up with a much larger story than I imagined". Phillis continued.
According to Phillips, as well as sources familiar with the incident "Sabatino," the son of a reputed captain in the Colombo crime family, reportedly told Combs personally that Shakur would be attacked at Quad Recording Studio.
The article is slated to come out today, Monday March 17th, and will also have an interactive timeline, as well as audio clips from both Tupac and Biggie. You can click here later today to check it out.

if this is true, diddy is mad fucked... no homo
Shyne also coming for his ass now, Diddy is going down BIG TIME
I always said that Diddy knew waaay more than he made people believe he knew... so naturally I'm not surprised...
~Be Eazy!
Well 50 said it best about Biggie.. I'm sure it goes the same for Pac:
"Who shot Biggie Smalls if we dont get them they gone kill us all, man Puffy know who hit that nigga, man that nigga soft, he scared them boys from the west side will break him off.. jump on his ass so he run to Harlem shake em off."
Damn I miss Pac.... But you know what's done in the dark will always come to the light. You can't spit in the wind and expect it not to hit you in the damn face.. One peeps..
Jelousy is a bitch, I know Big did it.
Jus' let the man rest!
From the article:
Shakur's friend Randy "Stretch" Walker was in on the plan, the sources said. In the hours before the attack, Shakur and Rosemond argued several times over the phone about how much Shakur would be paid. After the dispute was settled, Walker notified Agnant when Shakur was en route, the sources said.
Yall talking about diddy what about this nigga? ^^^^^^
if dis shit is true diddy better change is name to FUCKED
wow, no shit i could have told them that 11 years ago...i cant even explain how stupid that was for them to say that
Pussy ass soft Diddy. Dats how u know u fake when u send sum1 else 2 do ur dirty work.
old news, pac been talkin about that before he died in the news and on his songs
For real, I've felt that way all along though. Pac said them niggas knew about it, that's they hood why wouldn't they and we all know how shaddy Lil Cease is and Pac said all them niggas was down there when he got shot. I don't even like thinking about that shit cause it makes me mad.
Karma's a bitch
he even talked about it in a skit b4 one of his musik videos
and for all yall young cats jimmy henchman is the game manager, he's more dirty than puff bitch ass
if this true diddy is going to get assassinated by pac fans
ill kill him for pac. westside!!!
Wow Fam Its Like That Lol Thats Messed
^^co-sign
^^(cosign to sxdoublexr' comment)
Yeah dat shit sounds good Sxdoublexr's
but are u really gonna do 25 witta L to avenge ya favorite rappers death?
Exactly My Point
Exactly My Point
i think you a bitch
Wow!!
I wouldnt say Pac was a bitch!
He wasnt no SuperGangster either but he had heart!
But he was a gentle dude. He liked to write poetry. He liked to act in plays and dramas dat didnt have nothin to do wit street shit.
He was actually just a back up dancer for a while.
I know yall niggas is gon hate me but dats not some gangster or Thug life type shit
I would never call him a bitch doe!!!!!!
I always beleived Pac. If you a true Pac fan then u understand why.
The cop who headed the Hip Hop Police Unit of the NYPD said this not too long ago in XXL. He said it was obvious if you just look at the facts.
R.I.P Pac, heard you loud and clear my G and still listening
and another thing. The nigga Biggie put out "Who Shot Ya" after the shooting. Only truly dumb no sense having niggas honestly thin "Who shot ya?" wasnt aimet at Pac although he aint stay on that topic for the whole song.
"Hard to creep through Brooklyn streets"
"It's on nigga..."
"Do Rewind this, BAD BOY'S BEHIND THIS!!!"
Puffy in the background hollerin out "East Coast" hmm, wasnt this supposedly before the East Coast West Coast rivalry really jumped off.
Come on man, lets throw out all common sense and pretend that maybe Biggie wasnt going at Pac in this song, wouldnt he be intelligent and street wise enough to know that Pac would feel it was directed at him and see it as inflammitory?
Come on Homie U reachin!
How many songs do Big got about shootin,robbin, and killin niggas before "who shot cha"?
If "gimme the loot" came out after Pac got shot then niggas would have said dat dat shit was about Pac!
Stop reachin for shit man!
Pac made all this shit happen because he wanted dat top spot and he didnt give a fuck about losin friends or makin enemies. He just wanted dat top spot!
Nuthin personal! Just business!
Wake da fuck up lil nigga!
you funny, "lil nigga", lol.
Look son, Im a real nigga. I know street shit, dont get it fucked up. I came across this site and really liked it and it was a long time before i actually made an account and joined in the convo. This is one of maybe 5 sites i even be on the internet so understand when i type it aint from no lil nigga perspective.
If a nigga you know personally, just got shot in your own hood, in Biggies case Brooklyn. And he dont know who shot him or what it was about. Then he comes out saying he think you know something about it. And you in turn release a song called "WHO SHOT YA?" Where you state how hard it is for an outside nigga to be up in your hood (Brooklyn), declaring "It's on nigga" and your manager is in the background screaming "East coast nigga"
Dont you think that man might take that personal? Dont you think Biggie would have been aware of that?
Cmon man, you cant see it or you dont want to?
Ok big nigga...LOL
No disrepect intended!
But didnt Diddy also scream "Westcoast muthafucka" and "worldwide muthafucka"
I dont think he just screams Eastcoast on dat song!
If u get a chance to listen to dat shit let me know!
all good.
Imma listen to it, its been a while so imma check it out.
One correction though, I said he was shot in Brooklyn, I meant he was shot by Brooklyn niggas.
diddy did it
Hopefully this doesn't lead to more violence in Hip Hop. I think if the truth ever came out about these killings it would destroy the entire Hip Hop community as we know it.
Alot of cats at these record companies were tied into dirty money and crooked dealings.
diddy has always bin a "behind the scenes" type of dude......not surprised
thats actually true. i mean, how u gon be sayin a whole bunch of shit n not expect niggas to come after ur ass. as for diddy, that nigga has too much money. yall dont think he knows people are tryin to get at him. wit that much money he cant be as easily approached. im not tryna talk shit over pacs situation; im just statin them real facts
nyc..u a bitch. fuck u and everything u stand 4, weak punkass bitch
0 wow Geezy... I guess u goin hard..... but N E who... Pac Been Said Biggie & P.D. Either had sumthin 2 do wit 0r Knew about it and they just sayin sumthin Now... They Should just leave it alone And let Shyne Deal Wit Diddy when he get 0ut.
~Welp Puff sucks 2 be U!!~
Man im so tired of diddy "The wanna be pretty boy...im doing something to help the black people...." man dont let diddy fool you he aint innoncent...he had something to do with pac being shot both times..so when he set that up thats what caused the coastal beef and thats why the 2 greatest rappers aint here no more...BUT KARMA IS A BITCH!!!!!!! Real talk
fuck diddy
Kevounce you'z a bitch! Biggie dick rider, Puffy nutsucker...Yeah, they set Pac up and they some hoes for it. The same way Big got hit up in L.A. for Pac, the same is going to happen to Puffy and he deserves it. Weak ass NY niggaz..."musta shot me 5 times real niggaz don't die"!
n word u r a fuckin dumbass. the whole beef started after pac got shot the first time. pac and big were homies before dat
A-nyce!
Whats your fuckin point dickhead!
The beef started after Pac got shot and they was homies before dat.
We all know dat!
Whats your point!
Is dat all u was tryna say???? I dont understand what chu just corrected me about....Do you!
Dude dry-snitched Shyne out in court, and thats supposed to be his dude. With that, why wouldnt Diddy have somethin to do with Pacs shooting. Of course he did, along with Suge.
Define "dry snitched"
Man fuck dat dry snitched shit!
Unless Puff told Shyne to bring the nine and start poppin muhfuckas then he deserved to take da blame for dat shootin!
Puff got killas on the payroll already. So why would he tell an artist that he just gave a million dollar contract to to open fire in a club full of people?
I dont even love Diddy like dat...but I dont think its fair dat niggas say he did Shyne wrong. Shyne should have fuckin knew better.
He shot a lady in the face! Right through da fuckin eye! She wasnt fuckin wit nobody! So How is Puff a grimy nigga for not lyin about a situation that the law already knew da truth about anyway?
And how do u expect him to pay millions of dollars in lawyer fees for a nigga who just got him up in a fucked up situation?
You cant be loyal to a nigga who is self-destructive and is just gonna keep catchin case after!
It aint like he startin shootin in self-defense!
Everyone knows that Puff is a bitch, and aint really made nothing in his carrer. The only reason that anyone knows who dat nigga is, is because he wanted to hop his wack ass in every video that he could, and then he would have the nerve to set up one of the greatest of all time. All im saying is fuck puff
HAHA, FUCK PUFFY MAYNE LOOK AT HIM HES A BITCH ACTING ALL TUFF IN THE 90S NOW HES IN R&B SHIT WEARING DEM TIGHT ASS COSTUMES.. FUCK P DIDDY FUCK PIGGIE SMALLS, FUCK BADBOY RECRDS. 2PAC THE G.O.A.T RIP!!!!!!!!
man gimme a glock 45 and i pop dat true puffs head mayne
nigga shut up you aint gon do shyt
yes because I am sure your harder then life! Your on the intenet talkin all that shit, knowing you ain't about shit and wouldn't do shit. Stop acting like you a put bull, when your really just a Pug dog!
why is this just coming out??? it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that, diddy is a crook. he's the reason that two legends died too early at the peak of the career's and he's always been a shady business man at a label that biggie,the lox and mase put together but yet still releases b.i.g. cd's that makes him turn around in his grave from shame.
This why "hit em up" was so vicious R.I.P PAC
EY MAYNE, FUCK YOU NYC COCKSUCKER, YOU PUNKASS BITCH!!!
dude relax. get off them roids........
FUCK P DIDDY HES A FUCKING COCKROACH I STOMP OM DEM NIGGAZ I BURY HIM ALIVE THAT COCKSUCKER
I wish you would go outside and play in the streets, cus you sound and look so dumb. No one is even taking you seriously nigga. I dont know why ya'll are acting suprised to all this shit..Ain't no one going to ever be charged, you can't charge on hearsay. And As for Diddy, you can say what you want, maybe he had something to do with it, maybe he didn't. But I know this nigga DANSTAAH ain't going to get close, and neither are a lot of others. So nigga, Shut the fuck up.
SHYNE+THE NEW INFO=THEY COMING FO HIS ASS.
Shame..... All This Hopefully Won't Lead To Anymore Unwanted Violence But At Tha End Of Tha Day Wut Must Be Done Should Be Handled. I'm No Saint By A Long Shot Nor Am I Sum Type Of Tyrant But, When A Nigga Cross Me Wrong I Do Handle Mines And Believe In Wut I Stand For But, At Tha Same Tyme We Really Don't Need To Be Killin One Anotha. God Will Play His Part Just Right. I Might Sound Confused Or Lyke A Hypocrit But Truth Is I'm Infected Wit This Worlds Ways Of Imperfection Of Not Always Being Able To Make Tha Right Decesion. So In Actuallity I Feel Like Take That Niggaz Life Too But Also Feelin Like He'll Get His Through Tyme Wether It's 10 Mins From Now To 10 Years. Karma Don't Play That Shyt!!!!! SCREAM AT ME,1..
RIP Puff Daddy over under 365 days for his ass, "Young niggaz in the wild life, Criminal mind of a juvenile still live a child life,,Thinking he can make his pay, Too in a rush, niggaz better slow down, CAUSE YOU CAN BE TOUCHED"

Real Fuccin Coward Move By Diddy Real Fuccin Bitch Statement By DUMBNIGGA704!!!!
ThatNicca704; thats true...in all honesty
Honestly let’s it keep real, (I know it’s hard for some you fucks in here).
But real talk b, we been knowing this, this ain’t news to me. Pac said this all along, he made mad records shedding light to this incident. Word’s borne niggaz Killz Me in here, y’all know who Chuck Phillips is right? Ain’t this the same mo’fuka that wrote in the LA Times (this paper credibility has been in question for a while) that BIG was in Las Vegas paying a Mill to get Pac bodied the same night Pac got killed? when in fact reports & friends place Big in jersey at a Party that night. C’mon B, this Phillips cat been trying to make money of Big & Pac’s death, selling his patched up stories, this is the same man that just lost a law suit That Mama Wallace slapped him with b/c of his 1st LA times article on this matter.
Now today he comes back with this shit? Like I said we all knew this, that’s why Pac stopped fucking with the bad boy camps, remember Pac was mad close to BIG before this shit popped off. From what I understand Puff & Big wanted him jumped & beat up that night,b/c Pac wouldn't sign a bad boy deal,...they never wanted him shot, but when them fools rushed Pac in the building lobby, he pulled out his 45 colt, then the spraying took place. Pac survived & he went on a full out lyrical offensive against the bad boy camp. But this we all knew right? Well please dust off you Pac records, bang out to them & listen especially Machiavelli he talks even about Jimmy Henchmen (Game’s manager) on record, I never even knew who he was back then.
So my anger really is to this Philips dude, he wants so bad to sell his lil Papers, but forgets that to some people this is a sore subject, people will get hurt over this fuckin article,,…I can see it already, people are doggin Puff, c’mon my niggaz Smarten up
Peace
(IceBergChein) I Like Tha Way U Approached That Instead Of Being On Sum "FUCC YALL MUTHAFUCCAZ Shyt!!" Props My Nigga. I'll Pour One Up For U My Dawg. RESPECT!!!! SCREAM AT ME,1..
DaRealNore you know I try to keep 100, I’m SF (sucker Free) my dude. I see you do the same…like I said mad cats from both camps could use this article as vehicles to go out & start actin a fool. I mean seriously my nigga, do you think this Damn reporter cares what happens after this? Hell No,…I’m pissed b/c this a story we all knew, it was allover Pac lyrics, so now this fool is trying to get paid for it,…if you ask me this is plagiarisms 1-0-1, I mean pac already spoke & wrote about this, now he comes around & copy & paste it in his fucken news paper? C’mon,…plus it’s predictable to the way us (black people) will act, bickering & arguing, while he’s laughing all the way to the bank.
Good lookin for the props my nigga
Okay but are U saying they set him up to get beat up because he didnt want to sign a Badboy deal?
Theres no doubt that diddy was Involve, how the fuck u not no what goes down on he turf? Its like this bitch ass nigga spiderak a cock riding fag need to b killled
(IceBergChien) I See Exactly Wut U Sayin Bruh. I Can Agree Wit U On Sayin It's Some Ol Copy And Paste Shyt And Yea This Will Cause A Lil Stir I Believe. Theres Plenty Otha Fans Out There That Took All That Pac And Biggie Situation To Anotha Level And Personal!! And This Hea Is Nothin But Anotha Case Of Addin Mo Fuel To A Dyin Fire That Really Isn't Needed. And It's Very True That The World Is On Some "Let'em Kill Themselves And Wipe Each Otha Out" Even Pimp C Said It Best On That "Knoccin Doors Down" Joint !! But I Feel U Cutty. Stay Up. SCREAM AT ME,1..
Not for nothing, Pac knew that Diddy had something to do with it. But don't you know Bad Boys live in silence and violence....
fuck this bullshit this shit pisses me off.have sum fuckin respect for the deceased(a legend) f
