An article saying Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested for the murder of Tupac Shakur 18 years ago is fake. Diddy wrote on Twitter: “Don’t say a word.. just kill em with success.”
It was first posted to MostExtremeNews.com, a fake news website, about a week ago.
However, it was later posted on so-called “satire” site Huzlers.com. “On Thursday, September 17th, 2014 the arrest of Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs may have been undertaken by authorities for the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur on the Las Vegas, Nevada Strip. Associates in Combs’ organization have indicated off-the-record that, yes, Sean Combs was in fact under arrest. This disclosure comes just days after the 18th anniversary of the so far unsolved murder of the mega-superstar, Tupac Shakur,” it says.
According to a disclaimer on the site, “Huzlers.com is a combination of real shocking news and satirical entertainment to keep its visitors in a state of disbelief.”
On Twitter and Instragram, Diddy has been constantly posting since the hoax went viral--an indicator that he probably wasn’t arrested.
“You are what you repeatedly do,” he said. “The art of shutting the [expletive] up and when not to. Few master it...” he also said.
A few weeks ago, Huzlers posted a bogus story saying Tupac is still alive. It included a Photoshopped image of the rapper hugging Beyonce.
