You know, me not knowing my dad and s–t that was going on with my mom and whole s–t, it was just like ‘OH MY GOD, THAT’S ME!’ He was one year older than me, he was only 25 years old and we were just like ‘WHAT THE F–K.'” “After he passed man, he had ten more albums. Afani understood I was such a huge Tupac fan. She’s like the sweetest lady I’ve ever met. And she was like ‘do what you feel’ and then they gave me all his acapellas. That was one of the funnest times in my life.” Eminem added.You can watch Eminem’s segment below: RECENT RELATED ARTICLES23 Years Ago Today, Eminem Became First Ever Rapper to Win an OscarMarch 23, 2026Ab-Soul Freestyles Over Eminem’s Classic Song “Infinite”March 22, 2026Conway The Machine freestyles over Eminem’s classic hit, mentions HailieMarch 22, 2026Eminem Out-Streams Modern Hip-Hop Giants on SpotifyMarch 22, 2026Most Streamed Rappers on Spotify in 2026 So FarMarch 22, 2026New Interview: Did Eminem Really Co-Sign Datin?March 22, 2026 2PacAfeni ShakurEminemTupacTupac Shakur
