Diddy Facillitated Tupac Shooting - In 2008, an L.A. Times writer implicated Diddy in the infamous incident at Quad Studios in 1994, when 'Pac was shot, officially popping of the eventually fatal East Coast/West Coast feud. Diddy responded, "In the past 14 years, I have not even been questioned by law enforcement with regard to the assault of Tupac Shakur, let alone brought up on charges. [The writer] has reached a new low by employing fourth-hand information from desperate jailhouse informants along with ancient FBI reports to create this fabrication."(Photo: Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)

Game Slept With Khloe Kardashian - We've all seen how touchy-feely and a-- slappy the Kardashian sisters can be, so it was easy to accept Game's denial of having intimate relations with Lamar Odom's wife, Khloe.
