At the end of the day Afeni made him the executor of the estate. While she was alive she worked with that man to build it into what it is. The family is still benifiting from Pac's work and likeness, they just don't call the shots. That was Afeni's call to make.Yo this is not the moral victory yall want
The same individual whom pacs sister sued for embezzlement isn't threatening him out of a genuine appreciation for the culture. If it were the case, I wouldn't oppose it.
In a lawsuit filed Monday in a Los Angeles superior court (via Billboard), Sekyiwa Shakur — Tupac’s sister and the daughter of Shakur’s mother Afeni — and the Tupac Shakur Foundation accused Tom Whalley, who has been the executor of Tupac’s estate since Afeni’s death in 2016, of taking $5.5 million over the past five years from Amaru Entertainment, a record label founded by Afeni and now managed by Whalley that is charged with Tupac’s classic LPs and posthumous albums.
“Whalley has already received more than $5.5 million that he has paid himself in the last five years through Amaru,” the lawsuit states. “He has effectively embezzled millions of dollars for his own benefit well in excess of what would be reasonably necessary to retain a properly qualified third-party to perform such services. As a result, Whalley has unreasonably enriched himself at the expense of the beneficiaries and in bad faith by taking excessive compensation in a position from which he should properly be barred based on the inherent conflict of interest.”
The family has been taken advantage of by this dude and don’t control shyt when it comes to Pac you bozo but yall want Drake to lose so bad this is a win to yall.
Yall hate Drake so much that you’re now praising and championing somebody that has profited off of Pac and abused their power to cut off PACs family so they can’t actually benefit from his likeness y’all are weirdos for real
what Drake did would be like Taylor Swift using uncredited Michael Jackson AI to sing some shyt she wrote and releasing it to the public on her Instagram. A cease and desist is standard protocol to protect intellectual property. Drake not getting permission was his fukk up. Even Tupac's brother said he didn't like hearing Pac's voice being used in that way. If Drake didn't want to clear it with the estate folks might still give him a pass if he at least for permission from the fam, but he didn't even do that.sa
Nobody is championing Whalley. Folks are just pointing out how much Drake is fukking up.
