What The Last 12 Months Of Tupac's Life Were Like

The final 12 months of Tupac's life were marked with several feuds, with his beef with The Notorious B.I.G., born Christopher Wallace, the most well-known. His disputes extended to several rappers from the East Coast, as well as an influential politician and a former Death Row colleague.

According to Biography, Tupac's feud with his former friend, Wallace, began when he was shot at Quad Studios in November 1994. He believed that Wallace and Sean Combs, who were in the studio at the time, were responsible for the shooting. Both Combs and Wallace denied the accusations, but that didn't stop Shakur from claiming to sleep with Wallace's wife, singer Faith Evans (which she denied), and releasing the diss track "Hit 'Em Up," which called out Wallace and Combs.

Other New York emcees that Tupac had beefs with, according to 2Pac Legacy, included Mobb Deep, Nas, the Fugees, and Jay-Z. Even Dr. Dre, who produced Tupac's hit song, "California Love," two months after he left prison and helped establish Death Row with Suge Knight, was in Shakur's scope after leaving the label in March 1996. 

His 1996 songs "How Do You Want?" and "Wonda Why They Call u B*tch" attacked Congresswoman C. Dolores Tucker, who had launched a campaign against gangsta rap and the labels producing the music. According to Black Past, this led to a $10 million lawsuit against Shakur's estate.
