Tupac Shakur would’ve been 46 years old today so to celebrate that we compiled some facts you may have otherwise never known about one of the most influential hip hop artists of all time.
Tupac Used To Do Ballet
Now long after his death, it’s almost common knowledge that Tupac was not the violent man he put forth in his songs. Tupac was a college learned man, having studied poetry, acting, and yes…even ballet. No footage exists of Shakur doing this however, or you likely would’ve known before reading this post.
Tupac Has Released More Songs In Death Than In Life
Ten 2Pac albums have been released since his death in 1996, and every single one of them has gone platinum. His album sales have exceeded 38 million copies in just the United States!
Faith Evans Still Denies She Slept With Tupac
“Hit Em Up”, the scathing track Pac recorded as a diss to Biggie and the East Coast included many offensive things, the most famous of which that he had sexual relations with Notorious B.I.G’s late wife Faith Evans. Evans does admit that when she collaborated with 2Pac he did approach her for sexual favors, but she denied him completely. Pac never changed his story so the truth may never be known about one of the most inflammatory lines in the East vs. West Coast battle.
Tupac Auditioned For The Part Of Bubba In Forrest Gump
The actor was rejected of course.
He Also Auditioned For Menace II Society…
And got the part! Unfortunately he was removed from the movie after an altercation with the director of the film.
Tupac Had A Publishing Company
The company, Joshua’s Dream, was named after a terminally ill child who’s wish was to meet 2Pac in person.
At The Time Of His Death He Had 100k In The Bank
Who knows if his death skyrocketed his financial success or Pac would’ve lived to see himself become one of the richest rappers in the game today.
