LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Times on Monday retracted stories that implied purported associates of Sean “Diddy” Combs assaulted Tupac Shakur in 1994 and that Combs knew about it ahead of time.
The newspaper said the March 17 online story and a shorter version in the newspaper on March 19 relied heavily on what turned out to be phony FBI documents.
The Times also retracted statements staff writer Chuck Philips made in two online chats and the newspaper’s blog.
It did not provide details of the statements.
