The Tupac biopic All Eyez On Me seemed full steam ahead when the official trailer was released last month on the West Coast legend’s 45th birthday.
Now, however, there is reportedly a hiccup in the movie’s release schedule as Daz Dillinger and BMG publishing are fighting over the rights to “Ambitionz Az A Ridah,” according to TMZ. The opening track to Tupac’s 1996 album that has the same name as the movie is produced by Daz Dillinger and is supposedly heavily featured throughout the movie. The film is produced by L.T. Hutton and directed by Benny Boom.
The site says that All Eyez On Me‘s release to theaters has been pushed back from September to November to give Daz and BMG time to work out their differences as both claim they have the exclusive power to approve the song for the film.
Tha Dogg Pound rapper posted a video on Instagram to refute the story.
“Just seen that TMZ shit,” he says. “Ain’t nothing derailed about that Tupac All Eyez On Me movie. My homeboy L.T. Hutton, Benny Boom full blast with that motherfucker. It’s D-A to the Z. All eyes on, you know what I’m saying? BMG, eOne, muah, you little pretty bitch.”
Hutton reposted Dillinger’s video to his own Instagram page.
“ALL GOOD!!! STOP ASKING ME ABOUT NON SENSE PEOPLE WE GOOD#alleyezonme #tupac @truthabouttupac @alleyezmovie” he writes for the caption of the clip.
Daz sued BMG in April for more than $75,000 in unpaid royalties.
Dillinger is also working on a movie called DPG 4 Life to tell the story of Tha Dogg Pound. Curtis Young, who is set to play his father, Dr. Dre, said in August that the filmmakers were still seeking funding and a director at the time.

I don’t give a Damn about what Daz want or thinks I’m going to see this movie
Don’t support this movie. The same movie company sued afeni Shakur for rights of tupacs music and notes he wrote. It’s a fucked up situation. Wait till John singletons Tupac movie. If you gonna watch watch bootleg don’t put no dollar$ into this movie conpany
Afeni was sued by Morgan Creek Production back in 2011 when John Singleton was attached to it. Now they got a new film studio and new director. BMG produced the majority of Pac’s Death Row discography and he’s making sure that nobody else is eating off him.
look at all these mothafuckas working on their own movies to tell the story about their life and career as if they were GIFTS TO THE WORLD ! fuck outta here ! rappers are nothin but buffoons with a mic ! and it goes the same for all the entertainment business (actors, ballers, rock stars, etc.). YOU ARE NOT DROPS FROM HEAVEN. fucked up society !
Look at this little nigga calling all rappers buffoons with a mic on a HIP HOP website. Fuckin clown. Why you hatin? Nobody’s forcing your bitch ass to watch anything. Fuck you
do we know each other nigga ?? thought not ! leave the keyboard and go seat on your daddy’s face you fuckin waste of skin !
Shut the Fuck up Dumbass bitch mother fucker
You a Dumbass bitch
Bet their from New hater York saying don’t see it . New York fell off so now all they do is HATE .
Daz is just trying to get his money. If he owns the majority of the rights to the material, then so be it. Pay him. If not, he needs to be sidelined…Afeni granted the rights of the music to the company for use in this movie. I would assume Afeni and company own 100% of the rights for the music. Afeni was involved as exec producer of the film, she gave the rights, etc.
The biggest problem, was that they did not talk about who was the real 2pac, they did not speak of the true 2pac. That was disgusting
