Legendary Rapper, Tupac Amaru Shakur belongings have recently sold through auctions. The latest item sold is a letter Tupac wrote while he was incarcerated at New York’s Clinton Correctional Facility back in 1995.
According to Complex, the four-page letter was addressed to Nina Bhadreshwar, the publicist for Death Row Records. The letter recently sold for a total of $172,725.
Tupac titled the letter, “Is Thug Life Dead?” He then continues to write, “A regular Playa plays women. A Boss Playa plays life. A Boss Playa is a thinker, a leader, a builder, a moneymaker, a souljah, a teacher and most of all, a Man! I want all my homiez to know there is another level.”
He ends the letter by saying, “Beware of Playa Haters and evil envious ‘homiez.’ They will bring u harm. It ain’t all good my people be aware! Hopefully this will do some of u some good. If it does then I don’t sit in jail in vain.”
He also promises to drop another album following his release, which would become his classic album, “All Eyez On Me,” which was released in 1996.
Ken Goldin of Goldin Auctions mentioned that someone who is well known within the collecting community purchased the letter, and that they out-bid a well-known entertainer that wished to remain anonymous.
