LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tupac Shakur’s mother had trouble controlling her anger during testimony by the rapper’s father about their relationship in the days before Shakur was slain.
Shakur’s father, William Garland, testified Tuesday that the rapper gave him a photograph signed, „To pops, tell my family to come see me.“
Shakur’s mother, Afeni Shakur, claims Garland didn’t see his son for 18 years and doesn’t deserve any part of the rapper’s estate. Garland said he didn’t see his son until recent years because his mother took him away and moved around like a „nomad.“
After being heard shouting at her attorney in the hallway, Ms. Shakur explained, „I’m the only person in here who lost somebody. (Garland) don’t even know my son’s birthday.“
Shakur died Sept. 15, 1996, five days after being shot in Las Vegas. The two parents are making their claims for his estate, valued at several hundred thousand dollars, in a nonjury trial that is to resume next month.
