SEAN COMBS - COMBS SLAMS TUPAC ATTACK CLAIMS

Rap superstar SEAN COMBS has hit back at a newspaper report linking him to a gun attack on TUPAC SHAKUR. The Los Angeles Times claims Combs and the Notorious B.I.G. were told of plans to attack Shakur at a New York Recording studio in 1994. Shakur was shot five times, but survived the assault - two years before he was murdered in Las Vegas. Combs has blasted the article, telling New York gossip column PageSix.com, "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. 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."
