Chuck Phillips’s Evidence: B.I.G. was in Vegas when Pac was murdered on The Strip
L.A. Times Reporter stands by 2Pac murder report in Live Chat
I’ve been following the fallout from the Los Angeles Times article written by Chuck Philips, which alleges that Sean Combs and the Notorious B.I.G. were hip to the 1994 shooting of Tupac Shakur. All parties fingered in the article are obviously denying the report and Chuck Philips has not back down.
During his live chat on chat.LATimes.com, Philips placed BIG was in Vegas at the time of Shakur’s 1996 shooting from which Pac never recovered. “It has never been proven that Christopher Wallace was not in Las Vegas on the night Tupac was shot,” Philips said. “Bad Boy produced some computer-generated documents purporting to place him in a recording studio in New York, but they were not time-stamped. Bad Boy said it was going to produce video of Biggie there. They never did that. I have since learned that federal officials conducted interviews in Las Vegas to determine whether Wallace was present. My sources were there and say he and other East Coast figures were in Las Vegas on the night the Southside Crips killed Tupac.”
Philips, a 1999 Pulitzer Prize winner, says he has two more related stories in the clip that he plans to publish. People are speculating that the reports may finger Biggie and Jam Master Jay’s killers.
I really hope this isn’t an “Its In My Notes” moment to win another Pulitzer cause he’s got hip hop heads sitting on the edge of their seats. I know I am. Â
