LA TIMES DUPED OVER SHAKUR STORY…
You’ve got to wonder how Chuck Philips would’ve felt had his story prompted a violent retaliation against P-Diddy that could’ve lead to the Diddles death. Least now all he has is an apology on his conscience. Way to do your research (because, let’s face it, if the Smoking Gun can find out, so could Chuck), [...]
