Earlier this month, Diddy was involved in an altercation at a BET Hip-Hop Awards where he, and at least one member of the crowd, were arguing.

You can watch the video and read my full analysis, which I decided was necessary due to the tinge of bias to the coverage that was appearing everywhere that I looked.

Shortly after the incident, Diddy took to Twitter and apologized in a series of tweets.

"I'm a child [of] God and I should be better no matter what someone says to me," he wrote. "I'm sorry for the ignorant way I repesented myself and us. To all my childen of God ... I have backslid and regressed. Forgive me for my ignorance. Pray for me please. I know better and I am better. I have a responsibility that I promise I will live up to. And I'm more disappointed in myself than you know. I will humble myself and learn."

Earlier this month, LA Weekly published details of a new book written by former Los Angeles Police Department detective Greg Kading.

In the book, "Murder Rap," Kadling publishes testimony from Duane Keith "Keffe D" Davis, a member of the Southside Crips gang. Davis claims that Sean "Diddy" Combs offered him $1 million dollars to kill Tupac Shakur.

Davis says that he was in the white Cadillac that pulled alongside a car driven by Knight, with Shakur seated on the passenger side. According to Davis' account, his nephew, Orlando Anderson, now deceased, fatally shot Shakur from the back seat of the Cadillac. Anderson's involvement has been subject of rumor for years.

LA Weekly published "highlights" from Davis' quoted remarks and, among them, he says that he was never paid by Combs and that he believed Combs had paid another member of the Crips, who had introduced him to Davis, half of the money. The speculation being that he wasn't paid because the hit was allegedly for both Shakur and Knight.
