Tupac was a poetic theatrical child. He is also a thug like me.
It shows you how easily the media can manipulate the public and sell us an image of a celebrity that is not based on reality.

Rumors of the Jackson-Tupac feud
Boxing reporter and Fight Hub TV host Marcos Villegas also recently expressed skepticism about the claim circulating on social media.
“I just saw a clip where someone told a story that Michael Jackson beat Tupac’s a** in a fist fight. There’s no denying that this is true…right? Imagine ‘Heehee’s right hand and the hooks fly into your grill,” he posted.
His humorous comment generated countless reactions from fans about whether such a meeting could come true.
As of today, there are no confirmed records of Jackson and Tupac actually fighting. Others have mentioned that Jackson’s deceased father, Joe Jackson, was a former boxer, so Michael must have known a thing or two about fighting. However, this is not evidence of a fight.
For years, speculation of a Jackson-Tupac feud persisted, fueled in part by Jackson’s support for another rap icon, Notorious BIG.
Although some believe this may have caused friction between the two artists, there is no evidence that they have bad blood.
Both Jackson and Tupac were related to boxing legend Mike Tyson. Tyson previously said that he attended a Jackson concert in 1989 but was not recognized by the singer.
On the other hand, Tupac was a Tyson fan. He attended one of his matches in 1996 on the same night he was murdered when he was shot in Las Vegas.
The viral rumor sparked a social media frenzy among fans joking about how a brawl between the two legends could have gone down.
Jackson’s legendary dance moves used to deflect punches had many people joking about it and others seeing it as an idea too silly to be true.
