We knew that Tupac was once Biggie’s mentor, I mean Pac in all honestly was and still is everyone’s mentor but what we did not know was that Biggie craved for a much bigger relationship with the rapper when it came to his career. According to author Ben Westhoff, Biggie actually wanted Pac to be his manager.
Westhoff said,
“People forget that Tupac was already blowing up, already a pretty big star when Biggie was just kind of getting started. Tupac kind of took Biggie under his wing and tried to teach him everything he knew, kind of took him to school. Biggie’s career wasn’t taking off as fast as he hoped it would. And so he actually asked Tupac if he would be his manager.”
Tupac reportedly turned down the offer because he thought Big was fine in Diddy’s hands.
Westhoff went on to say,
“After he got shot, Tupac believed that Biggie knew about it in advance, knew it was going to happen. That made him doubly mad because he mentored Biggie so much and helped him, and he really believed that he double-crossed him.”
