Afeni Shakur filed for divorce recently from her husband of 12 years, Gus Davis.
TMZ reports that Shakur, who is Tupac‘s mother, is fighting alimony and that the couple does not have a prenuptial agreement. She filed the divorce case in North Carolina where the court does not settle cases with a half-and-half split, but analyzes each case to determine the best settlement for each couple.
Davis is asking for half of Shakur’s income from the Tupac Estate. The late rapper’s mother brings in $900,000 per year from projects regarding Tupac’s music, licensing and merchandise. Shakur totals $20,000 a month after expenses and Davis is asking for half of that, $10,000, to be paid in alimony per month for the rest of his life.
Shakur has responded to the request by filing documents asking the judge to not grant the money to Davis.
The couple has been separated for a year. Davis resides on their 50-acre ranch in the Tar Heel State and is asking the court for permission to stay on the property. Shakur is living in Sausalito, California.
Shakur’s previous husband, Mutulu, is seeking an early release from his 60-year prison sentence. He was sentenced in 1998 for plotting the 1981 robbery of a Brinks armored car. Mutulu Shakur was considered a father figure to Tupac.
20k x 12 Months = 240k a year, so where does the other 660k go if she getting 900k annually? cant all be expenses, Still seems low for one of the GOATS.
That’s her cut. Don’t forget that there are administrators to the estate, lawyers, and who knows what other costs. Dependent on the way the contract looks Suge and co. are more than likely still getting their share. Salute.
It does seem low, but remember tupac is not touring, making new music or getting endorsement money; this is solely based on his past releases (mechanical/physical) royalties and merchandising. You have to figure the majority of his fans already has his music and what they don’t have, you can find for free. It’s probably pretty accurate.
maybe she should stop to run to the court whenever someone mentions the name of her dead son. this would save a lot of lawyer expenses. she should be rather happy that people still remember him after such a long time
This is retarted. Alimoney should last for 3-6 months max, if that. the entire marriage institution is corrupt from the moment you propose to the moment you die
It’s not the length they need to focus on but the worth. People don’t need 10k a month to live a very good life.
Especially considering this money is coming from her dead son’s estate. It’s not like this dude had a hand in raising Pac. Shit, he didn’t even know him.
If she makes 900k per year, how does she only make 20k per month? Which number is accurate?
*after expenses*
His catalog might bring in 900k a year in revenue, that doesn’t mean take home pay though.
75K to 20K per month would mean there is 55k per month in Expenses? I don’t believe that to be true. With that math, expenses outweigh revenue generated.
Revenue is the money made from sales before any expenses, the revenue is 75k a month.
thats what he said… i also wonder about 55k expenses for exactly what?
Men stay being some gold-digging, money-chasing hoes.
Haha last time i checked there are 10 women to probably every 1 man who tries the sugar momma thing VS a woman just being a rotten hoe who will give it away for the slightest amount of wealth and the second there not satisfied try and act all entitled and shit to the MANS money pathetic haha but on another note tupacs moms not even entitled to half of what she has attained from tupac after death she milked the cash cow for every penny it was worth constantly putting out music movies and every other thing selling his likeness she definetlt should have gotten enough to take care of herself but not to the point she has just for giving birth to someone and not having a single talent of her own how many movies or albums came out about biggie after death huh? Not even 10% as much tupac after death because biggies mom actualy respects the memory of her lost child unlike tupacs mom who just missed the gifts and money and had to keep it going disgusting what money does to people
She’s worrth $50 million lol
This dude obviously doesnt know who he’s messin with. Watch somebody get this fool bc he fucking with the wrong mom!
It feels weird reading crap about people trying to live off the dead smh
i totally agree but aint u that dude who complained when i said the same on another website…
“It feels weird reading crap about people trying to live off the dead smh “… that his mother, since he got no kids who else should be living off his estate?
it could be used for charity or to support new artists or for education just to give a few examples
He should get it too.why? If the shoe was on the other foot she would have her hand out asking for half and would get it too.
Give the man what he legally deserves
Boy Bye!
