+little nick so what she was a crackhead, but he loved his mother and she accomplished a lot in her life. Your mother is so perfect she never fucked up? I guaranteed she has...and where is the proof/evidence that u have of your claim of his family making fun of him and singling him out...please show proof. If u don't have any shut the fuck up and stick to what u know and quit defaming and lying on Ms. Afeni Shakur.
Mr. International Aka makaveli I know right...meeting Ms. Afeni Shakur and sitting down and conversing with her would've been so dope...RIH Ms. Afeni and Tupac!!
Idk...let me tell you this... my Son’s mother refused my son to me and I didn’t know where he was until 9 and child protective services were involved.. he’s now 17 on the honor roll.. I have sole custody.. this woman made one visit since then for 15 minutes and is 12,000 behind her child support... bottom line shit happens and the woman spins the story to the kids to fit them... I’m in the south and a black man having custody of their child doesn’t happen.. shout out to all the men who have tried and are trying
I'm in a similar situation. My daughter mom walked in court and said she didn't want our daughter anymore. I'm a single parent as a father and I don't complain about a lot of stuff women complain about being single mothers. A lot of women out here feed their kids lies about the fathers. It's so sad. I been through it.
Piles of 💩 Is what they are. Please Men find a woman who got her thangs together. No dirtbomb on the system, section don't wanna work. Looking for a fool to take advantage of.
Got a lot of love for Afeni but she conveniently doesn't tell the whole story. She leaves things out on purpose. She told PAC that Billy WAS DEAD. hence the line " he passed away and I didn't cry- cuz my anger couldn't let me feel for a stranger " she didn't want billy in his life. And she also makes it seem like he only showed up twice and only wanted money. He went to visit PAC in jail, he was around PAC when he was 5 - and he's not the bad person she's making him out to be. Did he make mistakes? Absolutely. But afeni is partially to blame and idk why she is lying like that. Rest her soul though.
John Hajduk I read the same thing and Billy was trying to come around. It was hard for him as well because she was addicted to crack. I know a man that was in prison and he wrote a bunch of letters to his child and the mom threw the letters away. When a child got older he went to go see his father and that child asked why he didn't keep in touch and he said he tried to and he showed the child the copies of the letters that you written for years! So it's not unheard of but what you said was on point and yes rest in peace to her soul.
Yea. I'm starting to see that Afenis full of it when it comes to Pacs father. She did everything to keep him away for her own personal reasons. And never thought about how it affected Pac.
Maybe she thought it wasn't for him to come around Pac, but no matter what a father should never be kept from his children if he wants to be a part of it. Billy might also be lying about his wish to get closer to Tupac.
Tupac knew Billy was alive all along, those were just lyrics not all his lyrics were about himself, some were symbolic or metaphoric to get a message across. Billy had a choice, and he made it. No one can keep a man out his child's life, if he wants to be in it.
I can’t care about any of those claims or sentiments when 2pac didn’t find out about Billy until 1994. Hiding the truth is lying! My mother did the same bs by telling me my dad was dead. I was twelve when that man called our home. I answered the phone. I never really confronted my mother about her lie because at the end of the day she was/is a really good mother. But, that lie was foul and every woman who deny their child that knowledge need to understand they are being foul!
@@booger4798 She didn’t protect him. She made him regret that line in his song, because what he thought was the truth was a lie. But, I get why most believe she was protecting him.
@@booger4798 No he wasn't. The man who dealing in the streets was not Tupac's biological father. Afeni told this lie to Tupac, and he believed it until the time Billy Garland showed up at the hospital. You didn't do your homework.
Afeni was a warrior Queen affiliated with serious revolutionaries. She raised a warrior King. People didn't know Tupac was a revolutionary he was never was a thug or gangster. Rest in peace Afeni Shakur.
Tupac raised himself. Afeni lied to him about his own father, and she failed to give him the motherly love that he deserved, hence why he lived such a troublesome and traumatic life, with a horrific ending. RIP Tupac Shakur.
@@GoldenBoy-il8tk Absolute facts. Afeni was a radical feminist that hated any type of male authority. Billy wanted to be in Tupac's life and yet Afeni's ego couldn't let that happen.
@@DontDrinkthatstuff Afeni shakur nearly gave her life to the struggle. If it wasn't for Afeni there'd be no Tupac. If afeni didn't love Tupac or cared about him she would not have been his best friend neither would he have made countless music dedicated to his mother. That woman been through a lot just like many of us black women do. Tupac's father did not want to get clean and do right. He was a drug dealer, with Afeni profile being a panther and constantly being watched she could not put herself nor her child in danger. He had a wonderful father figure who is a former panther and still sits incarcerated till this day. Afeni was a womanist not a feminist. Imma need you to open a book and take you anti black women bs somewhere else. Just loud and wrong
yea Afeni is right...Billy Garland wasn't apart of Tupac's life growing up. but what afeni neglects to mention is the reason. billy garland was in Tupac's life up until he was five. then afeni "chose" to just leave without telling billy garland anything at all. was that billy garlands fault?? NO. ...that was afeni's fault!!
Will Garland there's absolutely NO EXCUSE for a father not to be there for his children unless the law prevented him to do so which was not the case here. He could've taken Afeni to court to get partial custody or at least visitation rights. But unfortunetly some men don't love their children enough to go through all that trouble.
She fled with her son and never intended on billy garland to be in his life for whatever reason. Too many black women keep their sons from their dad. I do not respect her for this. Billy Garland is a wonderful father to his other kids he raised and he too has a story.
He wanted the money, he never kept in touch with pac he wasnt interested period, its not that I know him, but when a man really cares about his child, he finds a way or will do anything to be with him, have some type of contact. that's just common sense
@@actc6077 some women make it damn near impossible to see/speak to your kids. And back then before the internet she could move the next state over and be impossible to find. But she moved across the country, and didnt tell his father shit, so how you blaming him? She lied to Pac, period. She didnt want Billy in his life for whatever reason. Tupac may not have been the legendary icon we know him to be, had his father been in his life the whole time, but I'd bet money, he'd still be alive if he was.
@@actc6077 Bullshit. Billy was a good dad to his other kids and absolutely wanted to be part of Tupac's life. Afeni was a radical feminist that hated any type of male authority. She was scared that Billy might try to take custody given the fact that she was a crackhead & was dysfunctional.
She is the reason her son passed at an early age. He was looking for his father in all the wrong men. The streets became his brothers that eventually killed him. Sad
"Now, ain't nobody tell us it was fair No love from my daddy, 'cause the coward wasn't there He passed away and I didn't cry, 'cause my anger wouldn't let me feel for a stranger They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all along I was looking for a father he was gone I hung around with the thugs And even though they sold drugs They showed a young brother love"
no accountability for lying mothers... they're actually praised and glorified by a foolish feminist code of conduct that today is at the crux of the complete dismantling of our collective family structure
Spoken like a woman who has never been a father!! A female creates the circumstances in which her child comes into the world. She can decide to birth the child or legally abort it. A man doesn't have that option legally. Even though females are told and taught marry before you carry, it's all a man's fault when they don't listen. News flash people, Afeni lied to her son about who his father was and took him on that emotional roller coaster. However, whenever there is a nigga to blame, blame him huh??? That's fucked up!!!
I still cant believe I ran to a church and cried when I heard..I knew I was gonna meet her one day..smh I feel defeated in 1 of my many goals..I just still cant believe Queen afeni has left the physical 😩😢
She was amazing, we all have our demons it's not about our failures it's about how we rise from the ashes, and she rose like a Phoenix. R.I.P Miss Afeni Shakur.
@@jamaicanB1 cus as negroes, we’ll never state the blatant/obvious failures of our women… A woman got pregnant by the man who stayed out of prison, kept choosing criminally-tied niggas after the biological, Lied to a child about their identity while trying to find themselves, abused substances in front of her children, and yet… a queen goddess rising phoenix 😒
@@letsfixit251yeah she’s not amazing she’s a ex crackhead who lied to her son to about his father and basically made a name off her sons back she’s achieved nothing in life I don’t get why people praise as if she’s Jesus
All im gone to say is we dont see Biggie's mamma that many times in life in front of the cameras , this woman is SICK wut u see is her profiting off her childs death just lkke she did in life.
My daughters mother told me out of her mouth she always felt i was the better parent. So she lied to her for 16 years about my character which created a wedge between the two of us. Shes now turning 18 and now we have an amazing relationship and she can now see through all the lies about me. Its obvious this is a normal thing in the black American community
Cause my anger wouldn't let me feel for a stranger, they say I'm wrong & I'm heartless, but all along I was looking for a father he was gone......🎶🎵 #StopFrontin&TryingToCapitalizeNow
I think afeni was bitter because Billy left her really not tupac tried to make it seem like he just abandon him so she lied to Tupac said that his father was dead Dear Moma lyrics check the verse that why she say that’s her favorite chapter in the book clearly she was still bitter never got over it in my opinion two sides to a story a woman is more likely to twist things up 💯
All due respects to the late PAC and Afeni Sip. But you moved all over the country” and kept the man away from his son. You had the opportunity to take him up with an argument when the man was in the emergency room with your son. But you to held secrets. I know that feeling because i to have experienced it with my own son.
Well, if Kadafi is Pac's half-brother, take a wild guess who Kadafi's real father is LOL Now look at the timeline. Billy left around the time Yaasmyn (Kadafi's mom and Afeni's close friend back then) got pregnant. Not hard to guess why he left or should I say had to leave?!?
That's my story too. The mother of beautiful daughter kept my daughter from me. She Kept moving around the country in an effort to keep me away from my daughter. Still trying to fsther my daughter. She's 9 years old in the next 7 days. Pac is my hero, I luv him to death... I also luv Senior dearly, but there's 2 sides to every story. She moved all over America befure Pac was 18 and she was on crack. There were no cell phones then. How could his father have kept up with the constant moving around... I wish one day he also tells his side of the story.
@@weworldwide1348 YAKI is not PAC’s half brother. They grew up together, bc Afeni and Yaki’s mom were friends since the Panthers days, hence the “brothers”
Why? Do we really need to see a 20-something-year-old be allowed to beat a case, turn to the streets, become a hardcore unemployable, and then turn to crack while she traverses the country with two children? All they will do is blame black men for her mistakes. No, SHE made those mistakes. She probably kept her kids to keep a check and some Section 8 voucher.
She may have been angry, bitter or just wanted better for her son. Perhaps Mr. Garland was the person that introduced Mrs. Afeni to drugs who knows but whatever the reason my heart tells me it was to protect her son even if it wasn’t the ideal situation. It’s easy to judge from a distance. I think Afeni did all she could and raised a revolutionary King that’ll live on forever. RIP Afeni and PAC forever eternal ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾
Billy Garland didn't introduce Afeni to drugs. It must be the other man Legs from New York. The man that Afeni told Pac was his father. Pac said he was a drug dealer and he also died from drug overdose.
Legs introduced her to drugs.He's the guy she got with following the Panther 21 Trial.Some even think he was an undercover agent sent to get her on drugs.Legs supposedly ended up dying from a heart attack in prison.
To be honest, I'm dissapointed in Afeni... Tupac believed his father was dead his whole life and his father didn't know where he was until he got famous because afeni was on drugs and moving Pac around. She still trying to stick the knife in slow. Another of mother's feel they have all the control but it was really up to 2pac, not her to decide.
Much respect to Afeni & may she continue to rest in peace, but its disappointing to see this bitter side of her cause she was such a powerful women. She's made it seem like Billy was a deadbeat father to Pac, but failed to mention she constantly moved across the world, purposely keeping him from Tupac. Its foul how she made the world see him in that light when shes the reason Pac didn't know his father until he was a grown man. Tbh, she created that void in Pac. When you think about it, she kinda contradicts & goes against what her movement of being a fighting Black Panther is, by painting a BLACK MAN in such a negative light. Again, may she rest in peace, but this is foul.
LIES!!! She moved her children around to have a better life: she did the best she could on her own. Billy had a choice: no one can keep you from your child if you want to be there, Tupac knew his donor was alive all the time.
@@XsankofaX Tupac said himself that he thought his dad was dead until he seen him in the hospital after being shot the first time lol wtf are you talkin about
@@JaeRocReacts actually your wrong.. Tupac is mystical but yet human as he was not ordinary. Billy garland ha no genectic connection to tupac. Tupac said garland paternity was not estabished on dna testing. The family seemed to befriend him like everyone else they met. And thats all THAT was.
Tupac biology father did die, in my opinion, and he was a gangster turned revolutionary soulja. He was a black nationalist and extremely influential. He could convince his follwers to pull clouds from the sky. He loved his people and was against injustices and oppression. Apples don't fall far from it roots.
She was very bitter towards Billy Garland for some reason? To the point she hidden for years with Tupac and lied saying his father was deceased and was another man besides Billy Garland!
He passed away and I didn't cry ... That is heartless to tell a boy he is dad is dead when he in fact isn't.. two sides and Pac seemed controlled by his mom in a way
So while she lived in and died on a house boat, her ex husband lived on her property with 50 acres. Goes to show you, the pain one sustain, and how others breed off your pain. HORRIBLE YOU'RE WENT TO CHECK ON YOUR SON, SEND HIM OUR LOVE REST EASY
Lol she did. He didn't want to stop dealing drugs and staying out of trouble. With her being a panther she could not take that risk with her and her son's life especially since she already lost her life during the "Panther 21 trial" tf
I'm trying no to respect for her after finding out she lied to 2Pac about his father, no women should have the right to deny who's the father of their children is, particularly if is a boy. Women cannot teach boys how to become man. Whatever the reason was, cheating, beating her up, w/e she had no right to do so unless Billy was the one who run away from his kid, we would never know, but I believe there's an incredible number of man that went through this because of all of those "feminist" movements from the 60s teaching women don't need a man in their lives so I'm not surprise if Afeni called on that b.s. too.
There's always two sides to a story, and somewhere in the middle lies the truth. So far, all we've known is the story that the media has told for years on end. We also know what all of these artists, entourage, and WOMEN had said about him. We all have accounts of him by all of these people, except his own father. So far, everyone in here has been fighting over whether or not Billy Garland was a deadbeat father and an opportunist, while others are arguing that he's a victim of wholesale paternity fraud. With that being said, it's interesting that the chapter that Afeni feels is her favorite, questions Billy Garland's presence, character, and motives, with the author being someone with whom Tupac allegedly had a sexual relationship with, so, of course, this is going to appear biased. The bottom line is that Afeni conceived Tupac while she was still married to a man who was locked up. By her own admission, she was seeing two guys after being released from lockup (Legs Saunders and Billy Garland), and she chose to be with the guy who most likely supported her lifestyle (Legs). With Billy being the father, this puts a monkey wrench in what she's doing, because he ain't hardly a street dude. Furthermore, Afeni Shakur's life has been very well documented, all the way into her teenage years. She's a wealth of knowledge, free-spirit, black power, and street wisdom. Trust me, if you look long enough, you will find interviews going all the way back to the late 60s documenting her thoughts and feelings about things going on in her life, including the time she was freed from incarceration, and you will see that I'm not making ANY of this up. God rest her soul, because she worked very hard to keep Tupac and Billy Garland apart for so many years.
This is so sad tu pac may not have been perfect nobody is perfect but I feel sad thinking about tu pac sometimes in so many ways he try to please the people around him but they gave him a raw deal which push him over the edge and not think straight.
RIP to Afeni but I understand that women always play the victim and I'm sure there's more to it than just that. She kept moving away city to city to keep 2Pac away from the father. That's what I got out of it.
MobHeataEnt I read the same thing and Billy was trying to come around. It was hard for him as well because she was addicted to crack. I know a man that was in prison and he wrote a bunch of letters to his child and the mom threw the letters away. When a child got older he went to go see his father and that child asked why didn't you keep in touch. The father show the child the copies of all the letters that he written throughout the years. But that was well said and on point. Just like court or an investigation we want THE WHOLE STORY!!! Don't leave pieces out of the story to just fit you! Rest in peace to her soul.
@dwone jones not trying to sound ignorant but please elaborate what your trying to say( and i dont mean that to be a smart aleck somtimes text or written messages come across that way) lol....now if you talking about 2pac father not coming to see him! All i can do is go based of what i read, heard from interviews, so on and so forth. And as far as what the first dude said i was just saying he made a good point in terms of SOME...not all women keep the child away from the father! Even to the point of the father trying to go to court and the mothers still not conplying. For whatever selfish/ self centered reasons they may have! I was just saying to dude up top ...HEY I KNOW WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!! AND I SEEN IT!! Thats all!!
@@dominicbrogsdale3348 Truth. Billy always wanted to be part of Tupac's life and raised a family separate from Afeni. People have to understand that Afeni was a dysfunctional crackhead and was a radical feminist from her panther days. She didn't want Billy to be in Tupac's life and Tupac hints that his mom wasn't much of a mom at all.
@@DontDrinkthatstuff that's what I heard as well is that he always wanted to be a part of Tupac's life and from the documentaries and interviews that I seen of him he looks like a pretty level-headed man. It's funny how Afeni told Tupac not to like a lie but yet she lied to him for all the years. Tupac father said in an interview that Tupac was not the favorite son that it looks to be. He didn't become the favorite son until he became famous and looking at the other documentaries thats what it appears to be! In the documentary thug immortal Tupac's friends said he was always getting into an altercation or a fight if Tupac did not get out of that neighborhood they said somebody would have killed him a long time ago! Even when he was famous he got a lot of fights or altercations. But a mother like his and a childhood like his you're going to be a little bit crazy LOL and not LOL
There's two sides to a story. Tupac said in his interview with MTV interview at Venice beach that at the time she has had him his mom was sleeping with guys but never really getting into a relationship with them and that she was living her life. By his own words Tupac basically said that his mom was being wreckless & irresponsible with her womb. Me knowing how woman are these days, she could very well have refused to let Billy in her life choosing instead for another man to be Tupac's father because she liked him more. Wan do that all the time. When theirs a break up most woman take the child away from the father and use the child as a weapon against them. This is a 1 sided story with her not admitting the mistakes that she made the put Tupac into that situation where he was kept away from his father.
You are talking about Afeni in the 80s, during the time she got hooked to drugs, when she couldn't find a job to raise her children properly cause no one wanted to hire her once they found out who she was, Billy was a drug dealer who wouldn't stop dealing drugs and with her profile as a panther and already being under their radar she couldn't take that risk, Tupac also said in an interview when he was 17 that he only seen his father a few times and he jokingly stated how he had no idea why or how his mother and father got together since they were the complete polar opposite. Tupac may have not been around his bio father but he did have a powerful father figure who is also his little brothers father and brother of assata Shakur. I think y'all tend to forget who Afeni is. He said he felt abandoned as a child because she was more concerned with fighting for our black community than spending time with him and his siblings. Y'all need to get out your feelings and stop trying to judge her life off these clips and get to digging in some books. Tf

It shows a major character flaw in my opinion denying rhat man a chance to be in his child's life. Billy Garland didn't create the voide in PACs life Afeni and the she has alot of nerve continueing the sharade even after Pacs death the she allowed every other man around her son but his own father
Stop with victim mentality If you love your child you fight for them period I know if a man said to most moms you can't see your child All Hell would breK loose Abd she would take that father to court and plead with the judge until she gained shared custody or at minimum visitation please His father was not willing to fight because being Tupacs Dad didn't mean that much to him to pursue Tupac That's the obvious truth whether people especially black men want to admit it or not because it is shameful
@@yecoliahisrael4156 Unfortunately. Its alot of punks like you in the world that makes it hard for a man to see his kids and being a female makes you not accountable. Your absolutely right he could've have fought for his child and I bet it would've been much easier had he not had a baby momma who was a crack junky moving the child state to state and shelter to shelter stuck in her misery. Your thought process is what made me come to the Harsh realization All BLACKWOMEN ARENT QUEENS INDEED ITS A FEW PEASANTS 💯
Because she was a shitty mom and a radical feminist. Tupac talks about how shitty she was as a parent in that prison interview. Oh she was a crackhead also.
Statistics show when kids have 2 parents present in their lives, they r more likely to live a full life and away from violence, streets and jails. So I salute this Billy Garland POS for being a great father.
I don't like the way they depict billy man that's pure bullshit she lied to tupac....I have nothing but respect for Pacs mom, but this just goes to show accountability is truly krptonite to women
I believe Afeni did not want billy around she never says she try to keep in touch with Billy so he can be involved with tu pac most mother's will stay on the father to be involved in their son I ives she never mentioned that she try to keep Billy involved.
I BELIEVE That Afeni Shakur Is Still Alive Also Yo. Just Like Pac Is Alive And Well Yo. I Ain't Seen No Funeral Of Afeni Shakur. Yeah Boy. Holla Back Pac
All respect to Afeni Shakur (may she RIP) but maybe she had something to do with why 2pac's father wasn't in his life.. I find it interesting/disturbing that the chapter she has chosen to read from in front of these young (black) adults in the one where she demonizes 2pac's father as a man or should I say a black-man.. Be mindful that 2pac's biological father has a wife and other children. I question if she considered that before saying what she said.. Still, may she RIP with PAC
That's so fucked up! Billy Garland how could you not be in your sons Life??? Got Damn! Brothaz who are Father's let this be example of why as Men we have to be there in our kids Lives through out their childhood to adulthood!! Tupac Shakur needed his Real Biological Father in his Life and Billy Garland was only there when he was shot 5 times in the hospital in NY....And there when he was in Prison and there at his bedside when he died in Vegas...That's fucked up!! Afeni Shakur might have been scorn and real upset at Billy Garland but truly believe she had that right to feel that way!! What if Billy Garland had been there for his son Tupac Shakur throughout his childhood into Adulthood?? Pac would've been a different Young Man I believe.Mutulu Shakur was their from when Pac was 7-11yrs old I believe and then he went to prison! So Pac didn't have a Father around to give him Protection and teach him of becoming a Man! This should be an example as Men on why we need to be there for our Kids!
Wow it amazing how un informed you are. Truly amazing..billy garland was not genetically related to tupac. Do your research if you truly want to have input about fatherhood in 2pac life. Do your research. Mutulu Jamal Daruba Geronimo it took a village of revolutionary souljas to raise tupac. All of thse men knew Tupac s real father from the relvolution of black liberaton movement. Billy garland was not resistor.
Its not billy his fault he was in jail and Afeni on crack I dont know how long he was in jail but its afeni her fault too. She moved alot to different states. Dont become a feminist and believe the women stories always. Dont buy this book.
He he didn't try to lay claim on half of 2pac estate I might of be inclined to believe it wasn't all his doings why he never had a relationship with his son until 2pac found fame. Yes there are some bitter nasty minded mothers out there that will stop access out of pure spite.So if he is infact telling the truth that it was Afeni where his proof at cus if a father wants to be in their child's life and has been prevented they will have some kind of proof of it. So I'm on Afeni side as this dude has shown his all about 2pac legacy and his money.
spirit's are immortal she is not lost she transitioned from the physical body as all spiritual energy consciousness does. Freedom for All regardless of the body their spirit's in recognize spirit energy consciousness materializes in Animal as well as Human body's be mindful to save lives by consuming plant based aka vegan products Namaste 🙏

When a child got older he went to go see his father and that child asked why he didn't keep in touch and he said he tried to and he showed the child the copies of the letters that you written for years! So it's not unheard of but what you said was on point and yes rest in peace to her soul.
most of our mothers tell half the story and always the victim .
Yea. I'm starting to see that Afenis full of it when it comes to Pacs father. She did everything to keep him away for her own personal reasons. And never thought about how it affected Pac.
Maybe she thought it wasn't for him to come around Pac, but no matter what a father should never be kept from his children if he wants to be a part of it. Billy might also be lying about his wish to get closer to Tupac.
Tupac knew Billy was alive all along, those were just lyrics not all his lyrics were about himself, some were symbolic or metaphoric to get a message across. Billy had a choice, and he made it. No one can keep a man out his child's life, if he wants to be in it.
THE THINGS SHE TOOK 2PAC THRU IS NEGLECTFUL
A story has 2 sides we want to know Billy his story
I can’t care about any of those claims or sentiments when 2pac didn’t find out about Billy until 1994. Hiding the truth is lying! My mother did the same bs by telling me my dad was dead. I was twelve when that man called our home. I answered the phone. I never really confronted my mother about her lie because at the end of the day she was/is a really good mother. But, that lie was foul and every woman who deny their child that knowledge need to understand they are being foul!
His father was a drug dealer and a con. She was only protecting him. He did grow up with a powerful father figure who did teach him well.
@@booger4798 She didn’t protect him. She made him regret that line in his song, because what he thought was the truth was a lie. But, I get why most believe she was protecting him.
@@booger4798 No he wasn't. The man who dealing in the streets was not Tupac's biological father. Afeni told this lie to Tupac, and he believed it until the time Billy Garland showed up at the hospital. You didn't do your homework.

Afeni was a warrior Queen affiliated with serious revolutionaries. She raised a warrior King. People didn't know Tupac was a revolutionary he was never was a thug or gangster. Rest in peace Afeni Shakur.
Tupac raised himself. Afeni lied to him about his own father, and she failed to give him the motherly love that he deserved, hence why he lived such a troublesome and traumatic life, with a horrific ending. RIP Tupac Shakur.
Bro that was an amazing summary. And he still lover her to boot. Poor man
Except Afeni hardly raised him. She was a crackhead that kept Tupac's dad away from him intentionally because she was also a radical feminist.
@@GoldenBoy-il8tk Absolute facts. Afeni was a radical feminist that hated any type of male authority. Billy wanted to be in Tupac's life and yet Afeni's ego couldn't let that happen.
@@DontDrinkthatstuff Afeni shakur nearly gave her life to the struggle. If it wasn't for Afeni there'd be no Tupac. If afeni didn't love Tupac or cared about him she would not have been his best friend neither would he have made countless music dedicated to his mother. That woman been through a lot just like many of us black women do. Tupac's father did not want to get clean and do right. He was a drug dealer, with Afeni profile being a panther and constantly being watched she could not put herself nor her child in danger. He had a wonderful father figure who is a former panther and still sits incarcerated till this day. Afeni was a womanist not a feminist. Imma need you to open a book and take you anti black women bs somewhere else. Just loud and wrong
yea Afeni is right...Billy Garland wasn't apart of Tupac's life growing up.
but what afeni neglects to mention is the reason.
billy garland was in Tupac's life up until he was five. then afeni "chose" to just leave without telling billy garland anything at all.
was that billy garlands fault??
NO. ...that was afeni's fault!!
Will Garland exactly ratchet as hell than play all this wisdom shit
Just DoIt idk if that's directed towards me but ok.
Will Garland there's absolutely NO EXCUSE for a father not to be there for his children unless the law prevented him to do so which was not the case here. He could've taken Afeni to court to get partial custody or at least visitation rights. But unfortunetly some men don't love their children enough to go through all that trouble.
Joe Lazarus exactly !
Wow she died on. My friend birthday rest in peace
She was so natural yet beautiful and well spoken
Pac was betrayed and led to believe his father was dead.
Rip afeni now u can see 2pac every day now that y'all are 2gether In heaven
Shut up mr no NOTHING
Kindred spirits together again raising hell
She fled with her son and never intended on billy garland to be in his life for whatever reason. Too many black women keep their sons from their dad. I do not respect her for this. Billy Garland is a wonderful father to his other kids he raised and he too has a story.
CHRISTOPHER PRICE I DON'T BELIEVE HER. BILLY PROBABLY DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO HER AND SHE KEPT TUPAC FROM HIM.
How tf would uk???? Was u there?
He wanted the money, he never kept in touch with pac he wasnt interested period, its not that I know him, but when a man really cares about his child, he finds a way or will do anything to be with him, have some type of contact. that's just common sense
@@actc6077 some women make it damn near impossible to see/speak to your kids. And back then before the internet she could move the next state over and be impossible to find. But she moved across the country, and didnt tell his father shit, so how you blaming him? She lied to Pac, period. She didnt want Billy in his life for whatever reason. Tupac may not have been the legendary icon we know him to be, had his father been in his life the whole time, but I'd bet money, he'd still be alive if he was.
@@actc6077 Bullshit. Billy was a good dad to his other kids and absolutely wanted to be part of Tupac's life. Afeni was a radical feminist that hated any type of male authority. She was scared that Billy might try to take custody given the fact that she was a crackhead & was dysfunctional.
Man..... R.I.H. Black Queen Afeni
She is the reason her son passed at an early age. He was looking for his father in all the wrong men. The streets became his brothers that eventually killed him. Sad
Rest easy to the best mom and the mom of a legendary rapper she’s now with her beloved son .
How is she the best mom and she lied to tupac for 20 years? She trash
She wasn't anywhere near the best mother.

I hung around with the thugs
And even though they sold drugs
They showed a young brother love"
you can hear Pac's voice when she speak
When a father wants to be around, he is! He fights to be there.
Why does a father has to FIGHT!!???! Fathers didn’t have to fight to lay down with her….
no accountability for lying mothers... they're actually praised and glorified by a foolish feminist code of conduct that today is at the crux of the complete dismantling of our collective family structure
Spoken like a woman who has never been a father!! A female creates the circumstances in which her child comes into the world. She can decide to birth the child or legally abort it. A man doesn't have that option legally. Even though females are told and taught marry before you carry, it's all a man's fault when they don't listen. News flash people, Afeni lied to her son about who his father was and took him on that emotional roller coaster. However, whenever there is a nigga to blame, blame him huh??? That's fucked up!!!

My daughters mother told me out of her mouth she always felt i was the better parent. So she lied to her for 16 years about my character which created a wedge between the two of us. Shes now turning 18 and now we have an amazing relationship and she can now see through all the lies about me. Its obvious this is a normal thing in the black American community

I wish I had seen this 5 years ago. Afeni may be many things good, but she was a devil to do what she did against Pac's bond with his father.
Certain ppl try to change the world.....Love them
I think afeni was bitter because Billy left her really not tupac tried to make it seem like he just abandon him so she lied to Tupac said that his father was dead Dear Moma lyrics check the verse that why she say that’s her favorite chapter in the book clearly she was still bitter never got over it in my opinion two sides to a story a woman is more likely to twist things up 💯
And thats exactly what happened
All due respects to the late PAC and Afeni Sip. But you moved all over the country” and kept the man away from his son. You had the opportunity to take him up with an argument when the man was in the emergency room with your son. But you to held secrets. I know that feeling because i to have experienced it with my own son.
Well, if Kadafi is Pac's half-brother, take a wild guess who Kadafi's real father is LOL Now look at the timeline. Billy left around the time Yaasmyn (Kadafi's mom and Afeni's close friend back then) got pregnant. Not hard to guess why he left or should I say had to leave?!?
That's my story too. The mother of beautiful daughter kept my daughter from me. She Kept moving around the country in an effort to keep me away from my daughter. Still trying to fsther my daughter. She's 9 years old in the next 7 days. Pac is my hero, I luv him to death... I also luv Senior dearly, but there's 2 sides to every story. She moved all over America befure Pac was 18 and she was on crack. There were no cell phones then. How could his father have kept up with the constant moving around... I wish one day he also tells his side of the story.
@@weworldwide1348 YAKI is not PAC’s half brother. They grew up together, bc Afeni and Yaki’s mom were friends since the Panthers days, hence the “brothers”
A lot more brothers are telling their stories. Truth is being revealed.
A movie should be made about Afeni Shakur.
Why? Do we really need to see a 20-something-year-old be allowed to beat a case, turn to the streets, become a hardcore unemployable, and then turn to crack while she traverses the country with two children? All they will do is blame black men for her mistakes. No, SHE made those mistakes. She probably kept her kids to keep a check and some Section 8 voucher.
Long Live Black Queen Afeni
And all the WHITE QUEENS 👸
RIP Afeni Shakur
Rest in Peace Queen
At the end of the day we would not had tupac without his farther hi much you hated him both made a great man rip Pac and afeni
That’s messed up! I didn’t know that about Billy.... I guess Tupac said it in his song “Daddy’s home”
Rip Afeni & Tupac
Afeni was a terrible mom that kept Billy from Tupac. She deserves no credit.
Sooo deep I'm ready to cry!!!
Everyone makes mistake much love to afeni but he did show up
She may have been angry, bitter or just wanted better for her son. Perhaps Mr. Garland was the person that introduced Mrs. Afeni to drugs who knows but whatever the reason my heart tells me it was to protect her son even if it wasn’t the ideal situation. It’s easy to judge from a distance. I think Afeni did all she could and raised a revolutionary King that’ll live on forever. RIP Afeni and PAC forever eternal ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾
I look at it the same way you do. #Respect and #GoodDay
A ridiculous attempt to not hold a woman accountable for doing a horrible thing. She ruined 3 men's lives with her lies.
Billy Garland didn't introduce Afeni to drugs. It must be the other man Legs from New York. The man that Afeni told Pac was his father. Pac said he was a drug dealer and he also died from drug overdose.
Thats bs.
Legs introduced her to drugs.He's the guy she got with following the Panther 21 Trial.Some even think he was an undercover agent sent to get her on drugs.Legs supposedly ended up dying from a heart attack in prison.
To be honest, I'm dissapointed in Afeni...
Tupac believed his father was dead his whole life and his father didn't know where he was until he got famous because afeni was on drugs and moving Pac around.
She still trying to stick the knife in slow. Another of mother's feel they have all the control but it was really up to 2pac, not her to decide.
And supermarket done? Billy had like 3 other kids he raised and his kids say he stressed it all the time.
@@charless7846what does stressed it mean?
Family business is family business, stay out they families business.
Stronnnnnggggggggg woman RIpoweerrrrrrrrrrrrr dearrrrrrr momma we loveeeeeeeeee
like it or not it's still his dad.
Much respect to Afeni & may she continue to rest in peace, but its disappointing to see this bitter side of her cause she was such a powerful women. She's made it seem like Billy was a deadbeat father to Pac, but failed to mention she constantly moved across the world, purposely keeping him from Tupac. Its foul how she made the world see him in that light when shes the reason Pac didn't know his father until he was a grown man. Tbh, she created that void in Pac. When you think about it, she kinda contradicts & goes against what her movement of being a fighting Black Panther is, by painting a BLACK MAN in such a negative light. Again, may she rest in peace, but this is foul.
LIES!!! She moved her children around to have a better life: she did the best she could on her own. Billy had a choice: no one can keep you from your child if you want to be there, Tupac knew his donor was alive all the time.
@@XsankofaX Tupac said himself that he thought his dad was dead until he seen him in the hospital after being shot the first time lol wtf are you talkin about
@@JaeRocReacts actually your wrong.. Tupac is mystical but yet human as he was not ordinary. Billy garland ha no genectic connection to tupac. Tupac said garland paternity was not estabished on dna testing. The family seemed to befriend him like everyone else they met. And thats all THAT was.
Tupac biology father did die, in my opinion, and he was a gangster turned revolutionary soulja. He was a black nationalist and extremely influential. He could convince his follwers to pull clouds from the sky. He loved his people and was against injustices and oppression. Apples don't fall far from it roots.
gf Be bruh shut up 😂😂
😷Any woman who take kids away from the father is Evil

not gone lie...this made me sad :(
She was very bitter towards Billy Garland for some reason? To the point she hidden for years with Tupac and lied saying his father was deceased and was another man besides Billy Garland!
Either way he wasn’t, He had family🙄
absolutely awesome.
He passed away and I didn't cry ...
That is heartless to tell a boy he is dad is dead when he in fact isn't.. two sides and Pac seemed controlled by his mom in a way
RIP.
So while she lived in and died on a house boat, her ex husband lived on her property with 50 acres.
Goes to show you, the pain one sustain, and how others breed off your pain.

Ms. Afeni you could’ve done more to connect a Sun with his Father… ( it’s his legal right as a Father) irregardless of personal feelings.
Lol she did. He didn't want to stop dealing drugs and staying out of trouble. With her being a panther she could not take that risk with her and her son's life especially since she already lost her life during the "Panther 21 trial" tf
@@booger4798 So her being a crackhead was cool?

It's two sides to every story
Notice how he came afoot after Tupac's demise. There was no way he could've tried that stunt if Tupac was still alive. Damn shame!
why ya post this like lost tapes? 2pac ! lost tapes! ? rip afeni !
I'm trying no to respect for her after finding out she lied to 2Pac about his father, no women should have the right to deny who's the father of their children is, particularly if is a boy. Women cannot teach boys how to become man. Whatever the reason was, cheating, beating her up, w/e she had no right to do so unless Billy was the one who run away from his kid, we would never know, but I believe there's an incredible number of man that went through this because of all of those "feminist" movements from the 60s teaching women don't need a man in their lives so I'm not surprise if Afeni called on that b.s. too.
Genius family

AFENI SHAKUR❤❤❤❤❤❤
There's always two sides to a story, and somewhere in the middle lies the truth. So far, all we've known is the story that the media has told for years on end. We also know what all of these artists, entourage, and WOMEN had said about him. We all have accounts of him by all of these people, except his own father. So far, everyone in here has been fighting over whether or not Billy Garland was a deadbeat father and an opportunist, while others are arguing that he's a victim of wholesale paternity fraud. With that being said, it's interesting that the chapter that Afeni feels is her favorite, questions Billy Garland's presence, character, and motives, with the author being someone with whom Tupac allegedly had a sexual relationship with, so, of course, this is going to appear biased. The bottom line is that Afeni conceived Tupac while she was still married to a man who was locked up. By her own admission, she was seeing two guys after being released from lockup (Legs Saunders and Billy Garland), and she chose to be with the guy who most likely supported her lifestyle (Legs). With Billy being the father, this puts a monkey wrench in what she's doing, because he ain't hardly a street dude. Furthermore, Afeni Shakur's life has been very well documented, all the way into her teenage years. She's a wealth of knowledge, free-spirit, black power, and street wisdom. Trust me, if you look long enough, you will find interviews going all the way back to the late 60s documenting her thoughts and feelings about things going on in her life, including the time she was freed from incarceration, and you will see that I'm not making ANY of this up. God rest her soul, because she worked very hard to keep Tupac and Billy Garland apart for so many years.
Tupac was 23 in 1994 ? Someone said he was 20 in that 1994 interview with Tanya Hart, unless that interview was done in 1991.

2Pac got his mom's beautiful hands
This is so sad tu pac may not have been perfect nobody is perfect but I feel sad thinking about tu pac sometimes in so many ways he try to please the people around him but they gave him a raw deal which push him over the edge and not think straight.
RIP to Afeni but I understand that women always play the victim and I'm sure there's more to it than just that. She kept moving away city to city to keep 2Pac away from the father. That's what I got out of it.
MobHeataEnt totally agree.
MobHeataEnt I read the same thing and Billy was trying to come around. It was hard for him as well because she was addicted to crack. I know a man that was in prison and he wrote a bunch of letters to his child and the mom threw the letters away. When a child got older he went to go see his father and that child asked why didn't you keep in touch. The father show the child the copies of all the letters that he written throughout the years. But that was well said and on point. Just like court or an investigation we want THE WHOLE STORY!!! Don't leave pieces out of the story to just fit you! Rest in peace to her soul.
@dwone jones not trying to sound ignorant but please elaborate what your trying to say( and i dont mean that to be a smart aleck somtimes text or written messages come across that way) lol....now if you talking about 2pac father not coming to see him! All i can do is go based of what i read, heard from interviews, so on and so forth. And as far as what the first dude said i was just saying he made a good point in terms of SOME...not all women keep the child away from the father! Even to the point of the father trying to go to court and the mothers still not conplying. For whatever selfish/ self centered reasons they may have! I was just saying to dude up top ...HEY I KNOW WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!! AND I SEEN IT!! Thats all!!
@@dominicbrogsdale3348 Truth. Billy always wanted to be part of Tupac's life and raised a family separate from Afeni. People have to understand that Afeni was a dysfunctional crackhead and was a radical feminist from her panther days. She didn't want Billy to be in Tupac's life and Tupac hints that his mom wasn't much of a mom at all.
@@DontDrinkthatstuff that's what I heard as well is that he always wanted to be a part of Tupac's life and from the documentaries and interviews that I seen of him he looks like a pretty level-headed man. It's funny how Afeni told Tupac not to like a lie but yet she lied to him for all the years. Tupac father said in an interview that Tupac was not the favorite son that it looks to be. He didn't become the favorite son until he became famous and looking at the other documentaries thats what it appears to be! In the documentary thug immortal Tupac's friends said he was always getting into an altercation or a fight if Tupac did not get out of that neighborhood they said somebody would have killed him a long time ago! Even when he was famous he got a lot of fights or altercations. But a mother like his and a childhood like his you're going to be a little bit crazy LOL and not LOL
There's two sides to a story. Tupac said in his interview with MTV interview at Venice beach that at the time she has had him his mom was sleeping with guys but never really getting into a relationship with them and that she was living her life.
By his own words Tupac basically said that his mom was being wreckless & irresponsible with her womb. Me knowing how woman are these days, she could very well have refused to let Billy in her life choosing instead for another man to be Tupac's father because she liked him more. Wan do that all the time. When theirs a break up most woman take the child away from the father and use the child as a weapon against them. This is a 1 sided story with her not admitting the mistakes that she made the put Tupac into that situation where he was kept away from his father.
Man I agree w you..well said
You are talking about Afeni in the 80s, during the time she got hooked to drugs, when she couldn't find a job to raise her children properly cause no one wanted to hire her once they found out who she was, Billy was a drug dealer who wouldn't stop dealing drugs and with her profile as a panther and already being under their radar she couldn't take that risk, Tupac also said in an interview when he was 17 that he only seen his father a few times and he jokingly stated how he had no idea why or how his mother and father got together since they were the complete polar opposite. Tupac may have not been around his bio father but he did have a powerful father figure who is also his little brothers father and brother of assata Shakur. I think y'all tend to forget who Afeni is. He said he felt abandoned as a child because she was more concerned with fighting for our black community than spending time with him and his siblings. Y'all need to get out your feelings and stop trying to judge her life off these clips and get to digging in some books. Tf

Stop with victim mentality
If you love your child you fight for them period
I know if a man said to most moms you can't see your child All Hell would breK loose Abd she would take that father to court and plead with the judge until she gained shared custody or at minimum visitation please His father was not willing to fight because being Tupacs Dad didn't mean that much to him to pursue Tupac That's the obvious truth whether people especially black men want to admit it or not because it is shameful
@@yecoliahisrael4156 Unfortunately. Its alot of punks like you in the world that makes it hard for a man to see his kids and being a female makes you not accountable.

I wonder why AFENI never told Tupac about this Man who was still alive he did Billy not know where Tupac was
Because she was a shitty mom and a radical feminist. Tupac talks about how shitty she was as a parent in that prison interview. Oh she was a crackhead also.
Billy garland had a lot of nerve!
She taught him well but his looks from his fartherrrrrr
Statistics show when kids have 2 parents present in their lives, they r more likely to live a full life and away from violence, streets and jails. So I salute this Billy Garland POS for being a great father.

I don't like the way they depict billy man that's pure bullshit she lied to tupac....I have nothing but respect for Pacs mom, but this just goes to show accountability is truly krptonite to women
You guys think theyr togheter now ? Pry for both souls #restinpeacebrothers
I believe Afeni did not want billy around she never says she try to keep in touch with Billy so he can be involved with tu pac most mother's will stay on the father to be involved in their son I ives she never mentioned that she try to keep Billy involved.
I BELIEVE That Afeni Shakur Is Still Alive Also Yo. Just Like Pac Is Alive And Well Yo. I Ain't Seen No Funeral Of Afeni Shakur. Yeah Boy. Holla Back Pac
Lol I like Billy Garland better than this person. Who attacks while receiving forgiveness.
All respect to Afeni Shakur (may she RIP) but maybe she had something to do with why 2pac's father wasn't in his life.. I find it interesting/disturbing that the chapter she has chosen to read from in front of these young (black) adults in the one where she demonizes 2pac's father as a man or should I say a black-man.. Be mindful that 2pac's biological father has a wife and other children. I question if she considered that before saying what she said.. Still, may she RIP with PAC
That's so fucked up! Billy Garland how could you not be in your sons Life??? Got Damn! Brothaz who are Father's let this be example of why as Men we have to be there in our kids Lives through out their childhood to adulthood!! Tupac Shakur needed his Real Biological Father in his Life and Billy Garland was only there when he was shot 5 times in the hospital in NY....And there when he was in Prison and there at his bedside when he died in Vegas...That's fucked up!! Afeni Shakur might have been scorn and real upset at Billy Garland but truly believe she had that right to feel that way!! What if Billy Garland had been there for his son Tupac Shakur throughout his childhood into Adulthood?? Pac would've been a different Young Man I believe.Mutulu Shakur was their from when Pac was 7-11yrs old I believe and then he went to prison! So Pac didn't have a Father around to give him Protection and teach him of becoming a Man! This should be an example as Men on why we need to be there for our Kids!
Wow it amazing how un informed you are. Truly amazing..billy garland was not genetically related to tupac. Do your research if you truly want to have input about fatherhood in 2pac life. Do your research. Mutulu Jamal Daruba Geronimo it took a village of revolutionary souljas to raise tupac. All of thse men knew Tupac s real father from the relvolution of black liberaton movement. Billy garland was not resistor.
Its not billy his fault he was in jail and Afeni on crack I dont know how long he was in jail but its afeni her fault too. She moved alot to different states. Dont become a feminist and believe the women stories always. Dont buy this book.
She did not tell tu pac about Billy garland when Billy went to the hospital to see tu pac pac did not know who he was.
Pac had her dimples.
He he didn't try to lay claim on half of 2pac estate I might of be inclined to believe it wasn't all his doings why he never had a relationship with his son until 2pac found fame. Yes there are some bitter nasty minded mothers out there that will stop access out of pure spite.So if he is infact telling the truth that it was Afeni where his proof at cus if a father wants to be in their child's life and has been prevented they will have some kind of proof of it. So I'm on Afeni side as this dude has shown his all about 2pac legacy and his money.
She's just trying to be a real mother after he died. Terrible
spirit's are immortal she is not lost she transitioned from the physical body as all spiritual energy consciousness does. Freedom for All regardless of the body their spirit's in recognize spirit energy consciousness materializes in Animal as well as Human body's be mindful to save lives by consuming plant based aka vegan products Namaste 🙏
Afeni was bitter and went as far to say billy was dead...this lady had like 9 guy friends and a boyfriend she cheated on with...
