Tupac was then found guilty and sentenced to jail, thus his marriage to Keisha was annulled. She's going to be my wife, she's having my children. Soon enough Tupac was in love with Kidada, saying to his mother Afeni Shakur, I love her. He was a voracious reader and a big fan of Shakespeare. They met again soon after and Tupac apologized and she gave in and gave him her phone number. In addition to his music career, he had also acted in some films. Even though professionally he was becoming successful, his life became entangled in violence and he had frequent rifts with the police. Eventually the talented young man released his solo debut ‘2Pacalypse Now’ which generated considerable controversy due to the violent nature of its lyrics and became very popular primarily due to this very reason.

At the beginning of his career he worked for the alternative hip hop group Digital Underground as a roadie and backup dancer. It is no surprise that his music was replete with references to ghettos, street violence, sex, gangs and other social problems he faced while growing up. Violence was nothing new to the youngster whose mother was imprisoned while pregnant with him. Born into a family notorious for their brushes with law, he had no contact with his biological father until he was an adult. Tupac Shakur, better known by his stage name 2Pac, was a highly successful rapper and actor known for his violent and shocking lyrics that earned him many fans as well as critics.
