Kwasi Asare, the long-suffering New Media Marketing Manager for Bad Boy Entertainment, sent out an official response to the LA Times article from his boss Sean Combs.
We know Sean didn’t write it, but the response says, in part, “This story is beyond ridiculous and is completely false. Neither Biggie nor I had any knowledge of any attack before, during, or after it happened.”
Well, we know that’s a lie based on testimony from witnesses on the scene that evening.
As you know, 50 people can witness the same incident and give 50 different perspectives of the events. But how did the original story go: After Tupac got shot, he picked himself up and rode the elevator up to the studio where Biggie was recording.
Didn’t witnesses say Sean Combs and Biggie were “shocked” to see the little homie limp off the elevator? According to witnesses, Sean and Biggie, who already knew of the shooting from phone calls, weren’t shocked at the sight of Tupac bleeding from his genital area, they were shocked that he survived the shooting at all.
Anyone who has ever been to a recording studio when a major celebrity is recording knows that there are always two or three burly bodyguards posted up at the entrance to the studio packing heat. So who shot Tupac?
I’m a little suspicious about this one
What you do in the dark…shall come to light!!!
Dont know but LA Times is obsessed.
At this point, it would be interesting to learn what the motive was, because it would be a trip to learn someone was killed over words. Not implying that any other reason is justification for killing either.
I think Puff had Biggie killed too
This is the same reporter who claimed that Biggie gave the Crips the gun to kill Tupac the night he died, when Biggie was actaully in New Jersey. This guy believes anything anyone tells him. This new article alledges that Biggie and Puff knew that Tupac was going to get BEAT UP not killed like it is being insinuated. But “witnesses” said they were shocked to see him alive? Which story is right?
I have a relative in the ghetto ass hip hop industry who has worked with some members of Bad Boy who were around at that time. Yes Tupac was set up. But Puff and Biggie didn’t know. It is understandable why people would assume so. However this article is so bogus. Puff had Tupac ambushed because he wouldn’t sign to Bad Boy. Are you serious??
I believe Suge Knight had something to do with setting up Pac & Biggie murder, before Pac was murder he was planning on leaving Suge Knight infamous “Death Row Records” Suge wasn’t too thrilled about that since he was trying to keep up his image as this “Big Gang-banger Tough Guy” roll. Pac is a Hip-Hop Legend, I just hope that Pac & Big murderer case will be resolved.
Wow how long ago has this been?? I remember seeing this story on VH1 & they showed Biggie & Diddy coming outside to see Tupac on a strecher already holding up his middle finger cause he thought they set him up!! how is it possible if he got shot all those times that night that he had strength enough to get on the elevator & get off without collapsing?? I think it’s a dead issue who will you get the truth from Diddy? seeing how the other 2 are no longer with us!! I think they just need to leave it alone & worry about who really had those 2 men killed, which I believe Suge Knight is the #1 suspect he just looks guilty even if he’s not!! look at all the people that left Death Row cause of his threats Snoop was the first to jump ship cause he ain’t crazy(lol) he knew!!
^^ I meant Dr. Dre, but yeah Snoop left not too long after!!
Biggie and Diddy didn’t have any prior knowledge in my opinion. I am not sure why anyone thinks Biggie or Diddy had the streets of New York on lock like that. The both of them were targets in their own city I am sure just because they are successful black men. Tupac was targeted by some low life jealous thugs because he was successful. Crabs in a barrel plain and simple.
