People don't realize how hard it was to track somebody down in the 80's and 90's. There was no social media and internet was in its infancy.
Garland is not being truthful. He sounds narriccisst like. Instead of taking accountability to having at least a t.v. like most back in those days where just like I knew Tupac's every move from his schooling to state to state locations via the news, magazines, and Tupac's music; he could have found him. He didn't care to. Soon as he thought Tupac was about to past he found him immediately anticipating his death for a payout.
Garland could've even said, both Afeni & I played a part. She raised him to the best of her ability while I was absent. I do not want money because I never contributed financially, all I want is a relationship with my son.
He didn't say nothing near this because money is the ONLY thing Garland wants and still wants.
Shut up
Mr Garland said in the interview he never looked for Tupac, but he wished he had. He said in the interview he stopped going to see Tupac when the black panther party broke up. Mr Garland do not seem like he made an effort to be in Tupac's life. He never paid child support. Never had scheduled visits. You don't find that odd?
@@nikeshamorrow9444 Very odd because Garland is lying about everything. From what I gather, Garland & Afeni messed around and she got pregnant. Garland was with another woman and had other kids. He didn't care about the one he had with Afeni. Afeni was more involved in the Black Panthers Party and had started being with Mutulu after who supported her and Tupac.
Garland never looked for Tupac even though he knew he was his son up until Pac was hospitalized and near death. Garland then and only then easily found Tupac to collect money for being a sperm donor deadbeat.
@nikesha Morrow why are you gonna act like afeni was not being seduce by drugs from her partners and her demons she was moving with? You know she had a son who died listen to tupac lyrics I blame my mother for turning his brother into a crack baby 👶🏽 yup you really gotta look at this with all views.
Moms can’t stand me because I’m looking like my father
That’ part
All Facts💯👍🏿
Papaz song
Im so sorrrrry for all this timeeeee
Damn that's on point
I used to blame my Father, until I became a Man. Now I understand.
If you have lived through this you totally get it 💯
Naw fr ,
Bro your comment 🥺
It's hard for penis people to hold themselves and other penis people accountable.
@@r.m.90 Keep one in your gums and get off the internet, Madonna👋
@@r.m.90 some times vagina people use their children as a weapon and as a payday. But it’s hard for vagina people to acknowledge that not all vagina people are ok or without faults. I always thought my dad abandoned us when in fact my mom kept him away with threats of police and subsequent charges if he didn’t leave us alone cause he got caught cheating.
Big ups to this man. He is NOT making any excuses for his failings but he is making the point that he never denied Pac. Life happened, the panthers were being hunted and Afeni bounced. He tried to locate her but didn't know where to look but at the same time acknowledging that he should have did more. I fully respect the even way he is telling the story and his deserved the right to have an attempt at a relationship with his son taken away.
Failures,Not failings!
@Jerry Louis with The Thickness He made no excuses. He was giving his side if the story
Black beeches for ya
@Jerry Louis with The Thickness but he took responsibility for his actions on how it went down. Doesn’t seem like a excuse to me
@jerrylouiswiththethickness6403 He is just telling his side. They seem like digs because it makes her look bad but that's how life really is. Light and shadows.
The world is really unfair. I love Tupac but I honestly believe he would have been a different person if he had his father in his life.maybe he would be alive
yeh..
but he wouldnt have benefited the system his mother ran with him to after gettin her game from the panthers..
if u wanna know how the pathers got destroyed from within..
THE WOMEN..
they fuckin Uncle SAM. 🤡🤡🤡
Great point
No doubt about it. I would have been worse off without my father.
That's the same shit I'm saying and biggie too think about it imagine tupac linking up with his father during the juice days and really building a bond
You can't predict fate no matter what parent is involved
Wow. I’m almost in tears imagining what that must’ve felt like seeing his son on a big movie after not seeing him for 15 years, and then not being able to see him after reaching out. Wow.
And where's the justice for Fathers in his position?
Man yall sound like some deadbeats yall will believe anything
He was invited to plenty of events for Tupac, Kato said he never showed up..stop believing this loser

back then you could literally disappear. no cell phones or internet.
Exactly!!!!
Ya'll forgot about telephone directories.
@@r.johnson1170 when you don't even know where your ex wife physically is, explain to me please, which directory are you looking at exactly?
Exactly and people completely ignoring that part. It’s a known Fact Afeni moved around the country. From NYC , Baltimore & then Cali. Plus not to mention she was a Black Panther & more then likely stayed under the radar. It would not have been easy for him to track them down at all.
@@SuperbNProsper She didn't want Billy in Pac's life.
My mom always talked down on my dad but when I got old enough to remember I knew he had to get away from us to save himself before he passed we got very close I miss him dearly 💛
That's deep asf
Same bro… same 😢my dad just passed in November 🕊️
Tupac's mom caused him unnecessary trauma by lying about Tupac's dad he really made a song saying that he was dead and called him a coward not even knowing that his dad was trying to contact him for years and remember everybody this wasn't social media times if somebody moved out the city you had no way to find them bro you really had to ask relatives to pass messages on for them to contact you it's not much a father could do back in those times other than reach out to relatives and hope that someone gets in contact with the mother
He did it hisself. We shouldn’t blame others for out own mishaps. Same excuse my dad used for me. BS
It could also be said she brain washed him into the whole black panther political movements too which was her own belief system
@@byrdie111 I know it's all his fault his mom didn't play any part in it right typical

This is truly a different light on where Tupac came from 💪🏾, Pac definitely has his father’s facial features
For sure!!
And thats it Thank God.. Shout out to Afeni
@@byrdie111 Nah, he has his sensitivity, as well... and his love of the F-word.
@@KtotheG yea thank God for the sperm But God has a away if making everything the way it should be and I’m sure we wouldn’t have Pac the way we do if he was present in Pacs life
@@byrdie111 So you'd rather Pac die young than to live to be an old man by having his father in his life? Pac was pushed to his death by his constant rage and anger from being fatherless.
I'm going through the same shit with my daughters mom. We look alike even share the same birthday. I pay child support and all and this woman still keeps her from me. She took her out of state and moved around intentionally to keep me from her. My daughter just turned 18 and hopefully she has it in her heart to have a relationship with me.😢
@TJ,
She probably got a whole other man she was led to beleive was her father. Women try and pick and choose who the child thinks their father is. It’s the same story a lot of black fathers go through.
I’m in the same situation bro. My daughter turns 18 June 18th. My ex wife moved them to Colorado and I haven’t seen her in 3 years. I’m hoping the same with the relationship because my ex have given her a negative view of me. I pray it works out for both of us🙏🏽💯
Ohh yeah mine turned 17, haven't seen her in 10yrs and her mom wouldn't let me see her. She has relocated and only one person I know that can help find her. Again seen her would mean I'll to meet her mom and incidentally altercations,in which I promised my self never to allow my daughter to see me and her mom in a heat. Never pick my calls for years,not allowing her to speak to me until last Christmas when she picked up my call and gave it to her man foe regression. Well I stopped calling, until when she decided to text me last week just to ask me HOW DO YOU FEEL NOW ITS BEEN 10 YRS TOU HAVEN'T SEEN YOUR DAUGHTER 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I asked my self why is she even laughing and disrespecting me with her man...I feel bro Billy and everyone going through this and these women they go to people close playing victims. But deep inside they're murderers and they enjoy tormenting and afflicting. ( Atleast one time my daughter used her mom's phone to call my sister in a low voice saying mama doesn't want me to speak to dad) she found out and hell poor girl got whooped ( she's is pain,am in agony) we men to through hell and surrounded by uncertified psychologist who don't feel shyt. Very soon I'll to do it but any means necessary, against selfish madousa that I made a huge mistake knowing her. Just because one didn't get me for herself, shouldn't be a reason hurting the innocent- Afeni whatever just as evil as she could get,we all gonna die but unnecessary been a killer...
Y’all do know if your on the birth certificate they technically can’t take the kids out of the state you live in that’s kidnapping so if you can I’d go straight to the courts and see what you can do
@@attainingknowledgeoftruth8348 Did you hear what Mr. Garland said in this video?
Dear Mama was even deeper than we imagined. Pac had forgiven his mother for all the lies!
Did she really tell him his pops passed away? Remember he said it in that line… If so, that’s fkd up 🤦🏾♂️
@@TrizzleTV
Yep .
He was also put as deceased on a formal documentation,
Billy Garland mentioned it in this same interview, in the past couple of days.
wait pac died about 25 years ago, and this man looks like he's 50 years old, how old is he?
@justforfun1647 He does look 50 but he's older than 50.
It's like he knew sooner or later the truth would come out
There’s thousands of men suffering in similar circumstances as we speak 💔🙏🏾

@@piffplayer both are closely associated. Those who grow weary of unjust suffering decide to exit dis planet

Tupac's mom caused the division between him and his father. There was no social media. Cell phones were expensive as hell back then and not everyone had one. I'm glad he is bringing the truth out.
You ask his mom what went on? Instead of judging

Regardless of what people think he is still pacs father and without him we would never have had the gift of pac people need to understand that this is family business
Afeni kept him from Pac and helped ruin his life. Typical selfish woman.
@@DontDrinkthatstuff I'm sure Pac mother had her reasons too... It's always two sides to a story... I'm say that to say this ... I'm sure both parties was at fault at some point that caused their break up.. it always effects the child at the end of the whole ordeal..but Pac still stood strong as a child into his adulthood and raised from his adversity that's what amazed me about that brother..Pac definitely was a true soldier 💯.
@@ijumpjudy No he didn't... Pac definitely show his revolutionary side of what he was taught and he represented it well in front of the world to see.. we seen all aspects of Pac the good the bad the ugly.. he was a human being like us all... and he also announced his faith in God Almighty is what truly made me a fan of his it was not just his music it was his integrity, dignity and the will to stand up for his people...

And word of mouth
Didn't know Pac Dad was in the Panthers! They give all the credit to His mother.....Salute for this interview....Glad i heard his side...
watch the doc he talk about it briefly they didn't have him in there long.
She was more involved in the movement that's why. Plus, she had a relationship with Mutulu Shakur and the bombing incident where she represented herself and won. Maybe that's why she gets credit.
@@baccgod942 You really don't know? She could have just been bitter? Stop making excuses...She spoke her side and and respectfully it's his time to speak his...They disrespected this Man for years and it wasn't true....The truth don't care about your emotions.
@@WorldwideMane
Who is they? Wth are you talking about?
"It's his time" 😕
What time?
Here's the thing buddy. Notice he has no story of a relationship with Afeni. No statement of them being a couple or anything. So, you ask, what does that mean? It let's you know they just screwed around and she got pregnant. He didn't want a serious relationship with her and she probably wasn't into him on that level either. He had other kids by other women. That tells me he was an irresponsible person in itself. Now, add the fact that this woman you laid down with is possibly pregnant with another kid, most likely he was avoiding her and not caring until she moved on and away and then tears later he finds out the kid he help create by the woman he showed little interest in is a superstar in the making. So, what is he thinking? I'll tell you. Oh, shii...that's my boy and also that's my ticket. Let me reconnect
Yep.That's how him & Afeni met.
Wow, he looks like all the photos of teenage Pac! Cheekbones and jawline 💯 This is wild!
He has his eyebrows too
And nose don’t forget the nose
This is a MAJOR interview Art. Salute to you for making this happen and I’m glad I hear Delray asking the questions.
Me too because art would ask some Goofy and be like "what did you think of PAC being involved in a shooting yo"
This is not art interviewing him
@@ms.toshia_love9847 Thank God 🙏 💯🤲 because art would be like so
"how does it feel to have known Tupac yo?"
@@ms.toshia_love9847 This is on Art’s platform that’s why I gave him credit but obviously that’s not his voice and the reason why I gave Delray his credit as well. Blessings to you sista & most importantly RIP PAC.
It's tough this is why its important to learn the value of raising children. They need their biological parents. Co-parenting can and does work. And it will help the child in the long run. The child is a parents number one responsibility
Agreed!
Both of Tupac Parents were Revolutionaries just trying to uplift
Their Black Brothers and Sister's into Standing up to A System that 'is" Racist .....They was Systemically wipe out
It's more then Child raising
@@curtisfrazier9039 Bullshit. Afeni was a crackhead loser. Billy actually built a life for himself and his family. Fuck Afeni for what she did.
@@curtisfrazier9039 Both of Tupac's parents were brainwashed by an insurrectionist organization started and funded by Left-Wing Communists....They weren't victims.
Mmmm
I think mother’s should be arrested and pay a fine to their baby’s father for keeping them out their children’s lives
So, Billy Garland was in Tupac's life at the beginning. You have clowns like Reggie Wright that's lying saying this man came in Tupac's life after he got famous.
Can't trust this 🐷 when he orchestrated tupac's murder.
Whether he knew about Pac or not......Pac said himself that his father was dead...on many occasions. so that's all that matter. Then he show up to court when pac died to try to get his estate.... mannnn f all that
@chitownbred6821 yall salty Reggie told the truth Billy did abandoned Tupac nothing keeps a real man away from his kids yall love making excuses for dusty deadbeat dads Billy wasn't even around Tuoac when he was on Death Row Tupac wasn't cool with this weirdo
Mutulu was in that mans life from the beginning.
As far as he knew. Turns out he don't know everything
He literally said this verbatim in the XXL 2pac anniversary book about 15yrs ago. Literally verbatim.
They look just alike
Those brows definitely
*I appreciate this part of the narrative, the best thing you can do in life is tell your own story*
Thinking about PACs words in songs about him then thinking of the message through him from pac. "He doesn't look like them and he only mattered when he got rich". (Still yet I feel him still) "broke my heart" is his favorite saying.
He needs to tell his story from how he first got involved in the Panthers to how he met Afeni to her getting pregnant and then talk about the Early Childhood of Tupac. It's important to have a structured interview
I totally agree cause something is missing
Totally agree because the math is not mathing.. he's missing whole puzzle pieces.
@@devinehope7540 Yea this nigg Delray Quantum Jumping the timelines and sheit, Shoulda just let Art do the interview
Facts, it’s a multitude of details missing from this story
I'm torn on this one. My instinct tells me that Afeni was dishonest w/ Tupac about his father (out of anger) - but it also tells me that Billy didn't put very much effort into locating Pac during the years he needed him most.
I agree
That's because this scenario is more than likely accurate. The man didn't even care to look hard enough for his son. He couldn't use telephone directories as a resource and called mutual comrades or Afeni's family members to find out about where he sound could have been?
@@r.johnson1170 she lied and kept pac away from his father this happens all the time
@@r.johnson1170 You right at the same time it was hard back in those days for Black people. Everyday you struggling to stay Alive & he has 5 other Kids. He probably was dealing with Trauma from the Black Panthers , trying to Survive & trying to take care of his other kids (that he knew where they were at) Those times back then was real real different then now. Nobody in my family fuck with my Grandfather because it’s his Fault why my Grandmother died. At the same time the Society back then was hard on Black people to a point where it’s unbelievable that they had to deal with that type of stuff. I Blame PAC’s Mom. At least he was trying to reach out. She was most likely telling people not to tell him where she was. Tupac moved mad times! Lived in more then 6 different places. He even lived in a Shelter & got adopted. For those times it would definitely be hard to get in contact with someone
@@r.johnson1170 Afeni wasn't in a directory and she also moved around. She's an addict as well so GL trying to hunt her down after she moved once.
This man is extremely honest and transparent.
I'm so happy he's telling his side of the story. I always thought he showed up in Tupac's life after he became famous.
He did. Afeni said he only gave him a bag of peanuts. Billy even admitted a few years ago that he could have been a better father and now he’s back tracking 😂😂
@@DarkandlovelyLovely You don't know if Afeni was being truthful.
Billy was there until Afeni began to move around.
He said in earlier videos he was always given the runaround when he tried to link up with 2pac.
She moved around a lot and lived a nomadic life He didn't just show up
Incredible to see where Tupac inherited his genuine heart and loyalty from. 💯💯🙏 God bless Billy Garland.
Facts. Pac got his good qualities from his dad. ❤
This nigga abandoned pac did yall not hear him. He the one that stopped seing pac on his own free will the first 15 years
🥺 love you pac
💯💯💯
Pac was a poet and had deep knowledge about the world bc of Afeni.
He deserved to be there in his son's life, and I honor him for this. It's unfortunate that he wasn't really given a chance to bond with him.
right he could have been the one to help tupac avoid stuff
Instead of going through hell to be famous, just be gunned by someone he put his hands on.
Why didn’t he when Pac was alive? He just didn’t want to. No excuse.
One of the best interviews I've watched. Keep Mr. Garland on the platform.

Nothing alike
Yes
True since both afeni and pac are gone, his father's the closest we have now. Looking forward to more interviews from Mr. Garland
I believe every word this man saying. My mom did it to me and the women in my adult life is doing it to our kids. Black women single handed has destroyed the black community with rage and anger. This cycle will continue.
You're probably a selfish, lying deadbeat like most BM.
@@Eastvanucks ALL men cheat. It’s called biology. Just like ALL women want men taller, more money, etc that doesn’t mean be bitter and keep kids away. This is only allowed because the government profits off of it. Many black men like Tupac are dead, in prison, homeless, etc because of black women like this.
You're not cheating on a person if you are not in a relationship. Y'all just have a child together what does any of that have to do with not letting a man see his child if you're not together.
Facts it’s easy to see this man more creditable than Tupac mama , hell billy been married and raised his other kids with no problem and he looks great for his age he looks like he don’t got a drug problem like Tupac mom..now look at Tupac mama she wasn’t married, was on drugs, was homeless staying wit family members and I heard she died a lesbian ..billy seems more of a functional person than Tupac mom ..
@@tonysnow2224 exactly. Tired of black women trying to blame black men for their issues. These women have single handed destroyed the black community. Keep girls on poles and sons in prison.
And as much as an open book Pac was, after learning about & meeting Billy, he nvr said 1 bad/negative thing about him. In any interviews or songs. Tells a lot right there…
Wow this a straight legendary interview 🔥 great stuff AOD keep ‘em coming
He is handsome and aging well God bless him ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
For some reason I believe him!!!!
The way he speaks is so intelligent! He reminds me of the way Emmett Till mom spoke!
Very well spoken!
Afeni and Billy both made mistakes.. nobody should blame one or the other. It is what it is, I’m glad we’re able to hear from Billy.
Exactly how I feel…
But she made more
YES❤😢
What mistake did he make? The bitch was a hoe. She Literally had a kid with him, which caused her husband to leave her when he found out that Tupac wasn’t his
@@rooseveltdarbey9493 you sound like a black woman hater
He was like most men in that era. Children were not a priority. Men had kids all over the place and only cared about the kids they wanted to care about.
Did you just judge a man based on an era?
Don’t blame him because I truly believe his mom kept him away on purpose. When are we gonna hold these women accountable for their actions? Shit crazy
Afeni was like most women of the time being a pass around She said two other Men could've been the father
Your all emotions and no logic and it's disturbing. It's clear your daddy left you when you were born. Why don't you go find him instead of typing irrational statements based on your daddy issues.
@@PhoenixRising82672 haha fr? What other two men?
I'm not going to take Mr.Garlands interview at face value for several OBVIOUS reasons ... however all the characters in this story that could vouch or dispute his claims are now DECEASED .. I'm not saying the man is sitting here telling bold face lies . I'm saying I've seen him in NUMEROUS INTERVIEWS over the last 25 years and this is the FIRST time I've ever heard him display this information in an emotional tone ... in fact one interview in particular all I remember him talking about was when he went to the hospital to see Pac after he was shot .. when he saw his son's penis size .. that's what made him know that was his son . He was even cracking jokes about it .. Fast forward until today .. now Afeni died in 2016 .. almost 8 years ago .. which in my opinion would have solidified a foundational reason for him to speak out .. but he didn't .. I believe the only reason he's doing this NOW .. is because Tupacs stepfather Mutulu Shakur ( who adopted pac and gave him his last name ) was just released from prison last year and currently resides in California after being locked up since 1981 .. and I heard everybody from everywhere are bidding .. to get him FIRST on an EXPLOSIVE tell all .. meaning if he accepts I'm sure he will be paid at least 1 million .. Billy is trying to get ahead of that situation .. in my opinion to clear the air .. nothing else makes sense .. 📍
💯 💯 💯
Mutulu might have info but he was In prison for Everything what can he talk about is a phone call and all that is recorded so it's easy to verify his story. As far as his Dad he is not saying anything wrong I believe him but like a previous comment it was easy to disappear back then.

Believe half of what you see and half of what you hear !!!!
Probably less than half. Smh God bless Billy Garland

I don’t believe too much of what he says.
It's believe half of what you see and none of what you hear. It's like that for a reason! Eye witness account is still the strongest, but again, only half of what you even see!
I know a liar when I hear one. If you wanted to be in PAC life You would have found a way🥴
Dope interview. I’m glad his side is being told. A lot of fathers get a bad rep because the mothers have a tendency to only tell one side of the story & try to paint the father out to be a “sperm donor” or a monster!!!
Court systems favour women all the time. Theres like a 80% divorce rate because of this.
@@KD400_ 🗣️💯
She literally said he was a “sperm donor” in her book!!! I’m pretty sure there’s video of her reading that excerpt. She acts like she wasn’t a hoe that was fuckin other dudes while married
I had a similar experience. My parents were 17 when I was born. When my mom told my dad she was pregnant she found out that my father had got another woman pregnant and promised to marry her. My mom was upset and told him he'd never see me or be in my life. It wasn't until I was 30 years old that I discovered that the man that raised me wasn't my biological father. My biological family reached out to me and I found out that everyone on that side of the family knew about me even though I didn't know about them. Everyone took me in and made me feel like family. My mother knows I've met my father but its such a sensitive subject that I can never discuss it with her or let her know that I have a relationship with that side of my family. Women too often make those kind of decisions without looking long term how their decisions will affect that child later in life
My daughters mother did me like this smh --has my daughter thinking hee boyfriend was her father
Tell your mom shit you grown
I would have done the same thing. If a man wants to be in his child's life he he should marry the child's mother.
It’s wild that we get all of these documentaries about Tupac and his mother. Putting praise on Afeni and the whole time she cause Tupac unnecessary trauma.
I said the same thing. Love Feni and all that she did but lying to your Sun about his father being dead...just wow. Heartbreaking really 💔
It's because we've been told that Mother's can do no wrong
If what these commenters are saying is true about Garland, knowing he himself said Afeni brought Tupac to his house and he turned them away because he was married; added with him not being in his life until he was near passing.
Why didn't Garland come around to support and build a relationship with Tupac only, considering he never financially contributed to caring for him or paying child support? Instead he sued the mother who was present for money he felt he was entitled to. Make it make sense.
🐂💩….Tupac told Niggas from day one he had issues with a functioning drug addiction mother?!? But his mother held him down when his punk ass father was too afraid to mention his son to his wife!
She was the only parent that stayed in his life. Why wouldn’t her son give her respect? Grow up.
As much as Afeni kept Pac from him he didnt try hard enough to build a relationship with him...only starting trying when he realised he's son got money... imagine if Pac turned out to be a bum
I don't think so he's been very behind the scenes for a long time money was never his focus
Garland is not being truthful. He sounds narriccisst like. Instead of taking accountability to having at least a t.v. like most back in those days where just like I knew Tupac's every move from his schooling to state to state locations via the news, magazines, and Tupac's music; he could have found him. He didn't care to. Soon as he thought Tupac was about to past he found him immediately anticipating his death for a payout.
Garland could've even said, both Afeni & I played a part. She raised him to the best of her ability while I was absent. I do not want money because I never contributed financially, all I want is a relationship with my son.
He didn't say nothing near this because money is the ONLY thing Garland wants and still wants.
Afeni said he wasn’t never there or wasn’t even mentioned around pac life at all. That book said it all.
Truly a legendary interview.
I can see where 2pac got his authenticity from
Pac might still be alive had he been given access to his father.. the trauma caused by the number of kids being kept from their parents is nuts..
Im with you my Brotha , Yahusha bless you and your family. 2PAC is the Best Rapper hands down. ONE LOVE!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!!
The pain I can relate to. At my daughters young age my ex took my daughter who was only 2 and bounced. No Facebook. No internet to find them.
At 18 my daughter made her first Facebook, I had been checking all these years. I wrote her. Took a long time for her to trust me because she was told all lies about me.
Then we had a disagreement on how she (my daughter) was talking to my son, her half brother. We didn’t speak for a year or so and man did I think about calling her so many times. Got a message in Facebook from a stranger that she hadn’t heard from my daughter for a long time. I tried contacting my daughter, her mother, her uncle, her grandma. NOBODY responded. I hired a private investigator I knew. Found out my daughter committed suicide.
I really can relate to this man. The pain is real.
Damn that's just terrible. Im going through something similar but my daughter is still young enough for me to change all of that
@@blaquenguni9249 my brother. I lost my 17 year old to cancer just before this. Your kids aren’t here forever even though we assume they will outlive us. Fight for your kids. Never give an inch. Fight in life. Fight in court and NEVER let pride get in the way of communicating with your kids. Always tell them you love them no matter what. They will remember in whatever they go through or whatever divisions they make.
Damn 💔
Terribly sorry for your loss. God bless you, my condolences
Sorry for your loss sir.
My moms is the bomb to me and I don’t blame her for anything - Tupac 1995 interview.
Pac meant that.
That maybe true but that doesnt negate the fact that she kept him from his father and that shit is dead wrong !!!
@@everythingfootball62bigtex42 Billy kept himself away. I’ve never seen him in pics with Pac until after his fame. Mutulu was there for him.
@@DarkandlovelyLovely All threw the comments, your posting negative comments about this man. Have you met him before? You're taking this very personal.
@@JetseTurner she a women of course she is. That’s all they do is lie and defend eachother wrong doing then blame men

He’s in a lot of pain, I’m glad he’s telling his story
This man is not at fault..I feel his pain....it is what it is
Yea it is what it is shit happens
im not fully decided on whos fault this is. we dont even have enough data lol. yall love redemption and romanticizing shit though
And yet ppl still question Pacs authenticity😁😂 that man was real…his people was real💯💯✊

Thank you for this Special, goosebumps- chilling, Amazing interview...So much importance in this!.. Glad to hear Mr. Garland's side.. RIP to Pac!
I’m glad he’s telling his story on this platform instead of Vlad TV
Big world, No internet, no social media, no phones with screens, the man would’ve never located his son if he didn’t become a ⭐️
Respectfully let’s not rewrite history. Afeni realized she was on her own and Billy wasn’t helping out financially and barley came around so she did what she needed to do as a single mother which turned into resenting him. It was only 1 Tupac in America so he wasn’t hard to find at any point. Also if Billy was looking hard he should have known all the moves 2Pac was making but instead his friend was the one telling him about 2Pac becoming famous? He wasn’t looking and settled into his new family. He found Pac when it was convenient. I’m happy Pac forgave him and his mother which is what we should focus on going forward.
That’s why Afeni got to reap all of the rewards. She was diet poor doing all she needed to do. I also heard that billy wanted her to get an abortion with Pac. If true that’s not cool.
@@DarkandlovelyLovely facts. It might be bad but I can’t judge a struggling single mother if she chooses to forget about the absent father. A father shouldn’t be so easy to be forgotten. Of course Afeni made some mistakes but she had the whole world against her and Billy did nothing to help.
@@DarkandlovelyLovely all she had to do was say your "father is Billy Garland Sr , I'll take you to him for your birthday " and go up there with Tupac and some senior members of the Shakur family , and reestablish contact with Billy for Tupac's sake . Instead she did what all scandalous women do and lie to a boy child telling the worst lie of all.
Had Billy rejected Tupac to his face it would've been easier for Tupac to accept, he would've gone through an angry phase but he would've understood that "my father ain't shyt, fuck him "...as a parent you must let your kids discover the true nature of their other parent by themselves.
Juice was the first movie he ever did tho it actualy made him famous your acting like he had already done all the movies an albums when his dad knew who an where he was
🎯 he’s changing the story to fit his narrative
another thing is to people need to understand the time it was back then when people asking him why he didnt look for pac. They didnt have all the technology like we do now
He looks like he can be pac pops.. Greatest rapper of all time
Thanks TAD for such an amazing and honest interview. Much love to Mr. Garland! You are loved, sir! Thanks for your time!
Tupac's mother could have easily given him the opportunity to connect. Clearly, she played a major role in making sure they remained separated for so long. She shares just as much blame as the father for whatever happened.

@@wisdom4498 Fair point, i blame both of them.
@@dcaseng I do not blame either per se, it's about accountability. No parent is perfect, all comes with flaws, growing pains, trials & tribulations.
The difference is, Afeni owned hers, Garland does not. Dude literally is saying me, me, me like his voluntarily absence did not play a part. I'm certain Pac could've respected Garland more if he'd reached out before he was near death. Pac was public record and findable. Tupac didn't respect that nor did Afeni. Garland did not deserve understanding because he's lying about it. Nor does he deserve Tupac's fans sympathy. We love Pac. Garland did not and does not.
@DISCO-INFERNO-70 thanks for being fair in your comment!
Smh
I don’t know all the details but I find it weird that he got married and had five other children and were in their lives but abandoned tupac. That to me doesn’t really make sense. That sounds like it’s some shady ness going on. You got to understand at this time we talking about the 70’s and 80’s not the 90’s like some ppl keep saying. The bps were under heavy investigation by the FBI during that time Afeni had married Matulu Shakur afterwards who also was under investigation by the FBI along with Asata Shakur and others. He said he hadn’t seen tupac from the age of 3-15. That’s right before Afeni married Matulu Shakur. Then in 84 Afeni moved to Baltimore. She was on drugs by that time so I would imagine pac was probably moving from house to house. By 88 pac was in Oakland. It wasn’t that easy to find ppl back then so I could see how he wouldn’t have been able to reach out to tupac like that given the circumstances.
Remember these ppl were all involved in the panthers. They had to keep a different profile from the average civilians.
No these cupcakes and snowflakes don't get being in the black panthers means you don't get to go on children hunting excursions, and he was more likely to be jailed or killed trying to be a "white knight" and not a black man in America.
The Black Panther party was being hunted by the government at this time. Everyone who was a part of it had to move in secrecy. We can say he could've still tried harder to see his son but Ms. Afeni was probably also trying not to be found. I'm not making any excuses for him but I can understand what the circumstances might have been as to why they lost contact with each other for so long.
Bullshit. Afeni moved because she was a crackhead and she wanted to keep Pac away from Billy. Afeni was using Pac for money etc to live off.
Afeni was in a relation with mutulu Shakur who went even harder when he joined the BLM ,they robbed banks killing cops... I believe it was a hard time for the Shakur they went underground.
If what these commenters are saying is true about Garland, knowing he himself said Afeni brought Tupac to his house and he turned them away because he was married; added with him not being in his life until he was near passing.

@@wisdom4498 What if the answer to all of these questions and more is that Ms. Afeni took Tupac and left, and didn't want Billy Garland to find or have contact with his son because he didn't want to be with her? That would make a lot of sense as to why he never paid child support. Maybe she never put him on because then she would've had to legally acknowledge him as Tupac's father, which she never did even after Tupac died. That would explain why she told Tupac that "Legs" and also another man was his father instead of Billy Garland. That wouldn't make Ms. Afeni a bad mother but what if she was just your average young, scorned, and bitter woman? Or maybe she just moved in secrecy because the government was hunting down members of The Black Panther Party.

Why are these interviewers not asking about how and why he changed his name from Lesane Parish Crooks to Tupac Shakur?
Maybe there should be a second series about 'the saga of Tupac and Billy'
His mother and father were Black Panthers... 2 brilliant minds at odds... and 2pac was the product... and looked at how he left a mark and shaped the minds of the world... fathers and mothers are so important...
There's 3 sides to evert story 2 coins to make it make sense this is much needed and perfect timing right after mental health awareness month, Father's Day & Pacs 52 Heavenly Birthday 💐💐💐💐💐❤️🔥 Mr.Garland You Are Appreciated
This deep right here
Seeing his pops is crazy for me. I mean, you can see that he had some very solid parents that played a part in the real struggle of black people and the party itself. On the other hand they had big time struggles within their own lives. That shit shines through Tupac and his own struggles. Its reflected in his music within a range of songs, from “brendas gotta baby” to “picture me rollin” and everything in between. Its a reason why he is my favorite. His shit was all over the place. It was the struggles and stories of the human being.
Tupac really resembles his grandmother!! She was beautiful!!
If it wasn't for him Tupac would've never been so show respect.
Pac would've learned from Billy the importance of mastering his emotions. U see how Billy keeps saying "it broke my heart" that's from a man with experience of handling tough situations, but not necessarily wearing his heart on his sleeve or having "my biiiig mouth" Pac learned that from Afeni. To always fight and defend yourself. Which is a great quality to have for many reasons. But a fathers wisdom and calmness wouldve made Pac a much more grounded person.
Im no expert
But u can just tell the demeanor of Mr. Garland, Pac needed his father.
We gotta remember Legs, Mutulu, they still werent around him as he became a man. Not their fault, and not their obligation. But Pac was lacking the teachings to maintain your frame and composure, that only a man can teach. Pac was taught how to be a Panther. But made himself a man. If yall follow
Afeni ruined his life. Pac would be alive if it wasn't for his crackhead mom.
I agree 💯
So he knew where they went and still didn't care to find his son yet you have bandits in the comments making excuses or blaming Tupac's mother. BM have a real issue with accountability.
I believe him. Cellphones weren't prominent during that time...extremely difficult to keep contact with people
White and yellow pages back then when ppl were listed in the White pages. Before Google

No Facebook no social media
But he had time, resources, and energy to sue the mother of his child he never contributed with. He wanted money not a relationship with his son. Scavenger Garland.
Child… most black folks didn’t have phones in the 70s
Instability and youth were the reason's I got for not having my father in my life. Honestly that really is not acceptable. My mother my have broken up with my father but I didn't. To this day I am still very hurt by that fact. I appreciate that she was able to hold it down and raise me. But again I did not choose to relinquish my relationship with my father and now he's dead and I can not make up for time loss.
Life of a panther was no joke man real stuff
I believe every bit of this! This shit really goes on more common than the average person thinks. I've dealt with this shit with my children.

@@wisdom4498 Narcissist like? You can't just assume that because you don't know the man. I just know that a lot of mothers do real damage when it comes to the child's relationship with the father. And the system just let them get away with it. The system is who the women apparently does this for.
@@nolanstarnes7110 I can assume from Garland's words. It's my opinion and that's how he sounds to me.

Just think, if Tupac was not hospitalized near death, Garland still wouldn't have appeared because there was not anything for him to gain.
It's never voluntary. And if you believe that, then you believe the lie that black men in general does not take care of their children. The system perpetuates that lie, and in most cases the mothers is the tool used to single handedly destroy the child's relationship. You need to get more wisdom because you don't sound like you seen and experienced enough.
My mother hates me because I look like my dad too me and Tupac had more in common than I thought
Deep! Thank god he still alive to share his story! Damnn pac 😢
Yes😢
Capital ‘G’ for God pls
Im 52. Never met my dad. Didn't bother me until i older. Like about 35. I ended up raising 2 boys by myself. From ages 3 and 1. I often wondered how my life would have been different with a dad. But. Mom did a damn good job raising 4 kids total.
Crazy his dad is still here and he isn’t rip the 🐐 Tupac shakur
