Tupac Shakur's Estate Threatens to Sue Drake

He wouldn’t have gotten approval from Pac’s estate for that silly shyt and he knows it. Brilliant chess move, sloppy execution but I wouldn’t be surprised if he nor his team really cares about a lawsuit. They could settle that shyt out of court a year from now when everyone’s moved on and nobody will bat an eyelash
People have this perception like Pac's family is dead or something when alot are still living. They just stay out of the limelight and people like to take advantage of that.
The money ain’t the issue, it’s how this is going to reinforce the narrative of him being an outsider and culture vulture when he thought it would be a good idea. The estate and the family not fukking with this is an L and always was going to be.
Whatever perceived W he or his fans thought he might have gotten out of this is nullified and opens the doors for all kinds of shyt.
Tupac Shakur's Sister Sues Executor of Rapper's Estate for Embezzlement
Tupac Shakur’s sister has sued the longtime executor of the late rapper’s estate, accusing him of embezzling millions of dollars.

Tupac Shakur’s sister has sued the longtime executor of the late rapper’s estate, accusing him of embezzling millions of dollars.
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.”
Tupac left his estate to Afeni as the sole beneficiary upon his shooting death in 1996. When Afeni died in 2016, all of her “tangible personal property” was left to Sekyiwa, who argued in the new lawsuit should include the items that Afeni inherited from Tupac. However, according to Sekyiwa, the Whalley-run estate is withholding those items from her for “investment purposes.”

1- “He’s not making any money from it”
Perhaps you guys have heard of this thing that’s been a big deal kast few years called “Name Image and Likeness”. He don’t need to ‘make money” tangibly.
2- ‘It’s like a mixtape track’
Who distributed mixtapes? DJ’s. Distribution companies. How did Drake distribute this song? His personal Twitter page.
Which actually brings us back to #1. Drake has 40M followers and that song has 13M streams there. Yes, he is making money off it
