Tupac’s mother, Afeni Shakur, who is the co-administrator of Tupac’s estate, has reportedly filed a $1.1 million lawsuit against Entertainment One, according to TMZ.
The lawsuit claims Entertainment One (E1) breached a contract to pay Tupac’s estate royalties for Beginnings: The Lost Tapes, a project released in June 2007, as per TMZ.
E1 reportedly purchased rights to Tupac’s music in July 2013 from Death Row Records, which used to own the rights to the material. Death Row reportedly went bankrupt in 2006, as per TMZ.
Tupac’s estate is also seeking the ownership of the master recordings for all of Tupac’s unreleased music.
In February, Jampol Artist Management signed on to manage the estate of Tupac Shakur.
“I believe it is our responsibility to make sure that Tupac’s entire body of work is made available for his fans,” Afeni Shakur in a statement about the deal. “My son left many incomplete pieces and even more unfinished ideas. Using the blueprints he gave us, I am committed to fulfilling this duty…[We] will find innovative ways to continue to keep his music, his message, and his legacy alive.”

His mom is committed to making sure she makes every last bleeding cent off her dead son’s name.
you’d rather someone else do it??
She was appointed by the court as the administratrix because pac left no will. Also since he left no will the state decides how assets are distributed (varies by state). With no estate plan pacs mom actually got way less than what you think.
this is how you know you Young idiots in Hip Hop are fools… READ THIS POST ABOVE…. Now If you passed away and left CATALOGS of Music that is worth millions. You have no children. Of all People who should be “milking every red cent out of what you left bfore you passed. Wouldn’t it be your mother. You Unloved, no manners having Hip Hop internet Born Yesterday Fan of Hip Hop cuz you saw it on TV ass internet bloggers can hate all day on your favorite MC> But when you start hating on your own MOTHER or MOTHERS then what?? This idiot thought he was making a point dissing Tupac mom til he realized his own mother is still alive. Think before you respond or get owned….
hollywood ethered you.
Agree with hollywood. These kids have no fucking respect. I’d want my mother to get all the money that was owed to me if I died too. Who else is better suited to get it?
@hollywood Kill em!
And I REPEAT, hollywood ETHERED YOU
thumbs up for hollywood. nice ether i agree with every your word
@hollywood

So what am i missing here, who else so supose to get or make the money, he’s died.
She is him fool.. STFU TRICK..
Sorry…I was jackin’ off and wanted to see how many fake comments I could make before I nutted.
Keep letting them know they’re guests. Continue to laugh at these young boys who hate their momma but rely on her for everything they do.
Oh kill em ‘Hollywood’
Get off my dick, bitch!
Hollywood –
At some point Afeni Shakur has to let go and fully let it sink in that 2pac is dead. I don’t care how much unreleased music he still has rotting in a vault somewhere. If she needs money that bad go get a job and move on with yourself. You need to move on yourself, and take your sad commentary with you. Need a tissue? lol You sound like an idiot crying over the fact Pac’s mom is still relying on him to provide her a life she could never provide for herself.
Fuck Hollywood and empty your pockets and pay up and shutup..
You get paid royalties when your music is played on radio, movies, commercials, arenas, sporting events, runways, malls, elevators, jukeboxes, karaoke nights. He still gets a check cut for his movie reruns.
Publishing is a very lucrative business and you look stupid trying to say she needs money and should get a job.
Now you move on and take that sad commentary with you.
HAHAHA You mad at me CUZ YOUR OWN MOTHER STILL ALIVE hahahahha. You unloved Bastard. Comment back after you have an unfortunate tragedy happen in your immediate family then comment on how the loved ones should reap the benefits if your deceased family member was reluctant to leave A LEGACY…or should they ass get out and get a job too. Your legacy cant be about you leaving comments on the internet bro….

“Comment back after you have an unfortunate tragedy happen in your immediate family”
Sounds like your birth was an unfortunate tragedy.
“He still gets a check cut for his movie reruns”
It’s peanuts, and after all these years of 2pac being dead Afeni shouldn’t need to worry how many times BET is going to air Poetic Justice for her to get a small check.
