Tupac was offered a record contract at the age of 13. However, his mother refused to let him sign anything at such a young age. She felt he had a lot to learn about the world before joining the music industry.
There are many insane conspiracy theories that Tupac isn’t really dead and that he is actually using his death as a way to hide from fame. This theory was then satirized in a Dave Chapelle skit where Tupac rapped about current and contemporary things.
