A Los Angeles Times article that linked Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jimmy “Henchman” Rosemond (The Game’s manager) in the 1994 ambush of Tupac Shakur was reportedly based on documents forged by an inmate.
 
Tupac was robbed and shot five times at the Quad Recording Studio in New York in 1994.

The Times ran an article last week claiming that Diddy and Rosemond planned the attack after Tupac refused to sign with Diddy's Bad Boy Records. 

The article would cite FBI reports as the major source of its information.

The Smoking Gun challenged The Times’ report today (March 26) claiming that the FBI documents that the newspaper used for its controversial article  were forged by a currently jailed scam artist named James Sabatino.

The Smoking Gun claims Sabatino used a typewriter to make the documents which had black marks covering the name of federal agents.

Sabatino, who is now in jail for wire fraud and racketeering, was described by The Smoking Gun as a deluded rap fanatic who believed he conducted business with Diddy, Tupac, Busta Rhymes and Notorious B.I.G.

Russ Stanton, The Times' editor, responded to The Smoking Gun report Wednesday saying that they have launched an internal investigation into the authenticity of the documents.

The Times article was written by Pulitzer Prize winning writer Chuck Philips.

Philips made waves in 2002 when he wrote an article claiming that B.I.G. offered the Crips gang $1 million to kill Tupac in Las Vegas in 1996.

Diddy and Rosemond have denied having any involvement in Tupac's ambush.

Rosemond, who attacked Philips' credibility when The Times article surfaced, has plans of taking legal action against the writer and The Times.
