Jimmy Rosemond, who manages The Game, is calling for Chuck Phillips of the LA Times to lose his job. Phillips wrote a controversial piece implicating Rosemond as a central figure in the robbery of 2pac in 1994. Chuck also claimed that Diddy knew details of the attack before it happened. Thesmokinggun.com debunked Phillips' story after they learned that his article was based on false FBI documents. Phillips and the LA Times issued an apology yesterday morning, but Rosemond doesn't think its enough. Do you guys agree that someone needs to be fired over this?
"I lived with the rumor of what happened to Tupac for the last 14 years," Rosemond said Thursday afternoon. "And rumors are rumors — either you believe them or you don't — but when you have a reputable newspaper like the Los Angeles Times with a Pulitzer Prize winner like Chuck Philips to validate a rumor, then it becomes real. It becomes real in your life, real to the people around you. When you Google me, this affects me regardless, forever. I could always rebut a rumor, but this is something that's well more damaging. And I think Chuck Philips had no regards to my reputation, for myself as a businessman, myself as a father, a family man, somebody's son. And I think he did irreparable damage to my career, my reputation and everything else. I don't think there is no other reward for me or my family that he can do. An apology isn't going to do it. There has to be some form of reprimand in the sense of his job. He needs to lose his job."
Phillips also wrote a story last year claiming Biggie supplied the gun that eventually killed 2pac in Las Vegas. That story was proved false after recording studio logs proved he was in New York at the time, not in Vegas.
