Notorious BIG Once Asked TuPac To Be His Manager – Author Claims

Must read

An author, Ben Westhoff has claimed that Notorious B.I.G asked the late US rapper, TuPac to manage him.

According to Ben Westhoff’s book, Original Gangstas: The Untold Story of Dr. Dre. Eazy-E, Ice-Cube, Tupac Shakur, and the  Birth of West Coast Rap, B.I.G whose birth name was Christopher Wallace asked West Coast rapper, Tupac Shakur to manage him.

Two of the biggest names in hip hop are Notorious B.I.G and TuPac Shakur. Anyone who is a true hip hop enthusiast would not only know how these rappers influenced the rap game, but also how they related with one another.

Although the two rappers, were known to be fierce rivals at one point in their career, Tupac who was already big when Biggie started  mentored the New-York M.C in the beginning of his career.

According to Westhof, as reported by Hot New Whip Hop, B.I.G asked Pac to manage him at one point and Pac declined, telling B.I.G that it would be better if he stayed under Puffy, who is now known as Diddy.

Speaking in an interview with the Murder Master Music Show, the author said:

“Tupac kind of took Biggie under his wing and tried to teach him everything he knew, kind of took him to school,” Westoff said, when describing Pac’s mentorship of Biggie.

“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, and Tupac said, ‘No I think you should stick with Puffy and he’ll get you where you need to be.” he continued.

Also, Westhoff affirms the already popular belief that after TuPac was shot multiple times, he felt Biggie was aware of the event before it happened.

“After he got shot, Tupac believed that Biggie knew about it in advance, knew it was going to happen,” the author said.

“That made him doubly mad because he mentored Biggie so much and helped him, and he really believed that he double-crossed him.” he added.
