Bill Cosby Rides Against Tupac

Posted by Bossip Staff



Bill Cosby recently blasted a dead and gone Tupac at a forum. Via Philly Daily News:

Typical of Cosby's style of stinging and controversial commentary, he also faulted the love shown to the late rapper Tupac Shakur. He said it was crazy for Shakur, who was fatally shot in Las Vegas in 1996, and his mother to enjoy the proceeds from Shakur's drug sales. "In the book, 'To Momma With Love,' or something like that, he is so happy that he's able to take money from selling cocaine and give the money to his mother," Cosby said. "How wonderful. Isn't that wonderful. You've got to be kidding. How many lives have you ruined selling packets? How many mothers are not going to go to work because they want to snort? How many dead mothers because of crack, how many babies we got to make turn around because they are crack babies?" Cosby said the house Shakur bought his mother should be adorned with the pictures of users who died due to drug use. "Hang up the pictures of the people's lives you ruined," Cosby declared.

For the record, Tupac said he wasn't good at selling drugs and went on to entertainment to make a living. For the record, Bill Cosby has been accused by several women of drugging and having sex with them while unconscious and has settled some suits out of court. 13 women have accused the pervert to be exact . The talented legend is dead, STFU old- man. Bill needs to stop all the preaching and go to the hood and airlift some people out of that environment.

Exclusive: Tupac Was Replaced by This Guy

Posted by Bossip Staff



Married couple Jeffrey Nash and Kidada Jones in the movie 'Proud'. Sources tell Bossip that the two are married. Kidada who is the oldest of Quincy Jones two daughters was engaged to Tupac at the time of his death. She was linked to LL Cool J and Leonardo Dicaprio several years ago. Jeffrey kinda has that "beard" look going for himself.



How do you go from Tupac to a Fred Segal fashion clerk? To "Jeffrey's" credit, he was hooked up with one movie role and is the brother-in- law of director Forest Whitaker. Jeff's sister is a banger.



Kidada with Nicole Richie (2005), Posh Spice (Victoria Beckham 2003), and Sanaa Lathan (2006).

Posted by Bossip Staff



Ten years after his death, Tupac Shakur is perpetuated as a wax figure. The waxwork is orginally from the Madame Tussauds museum in Las Vegas, but is on "loaner status" in London, England. The Brits are honored to have Pac's figure grace its corridors.

Via colourfulnetwork.net
Ben Lovett, the spokesperson for Madame Tussaud's in London:

We like to have figures from all different walks of life that have made an impact on society. Tupac is just a legend…everyone knows his music, and was one of the first truly socially conscious rappers conveying what it was like to live where he lived on the streets.

Internatinally Known....Afeni should be proud
