Fifteen years after his death, Tupac Shakur is involved in a major scandal. The deceased legend is a part of a sextape, reportedly filmed in 1991. There were some questioning the authenticity of the rape. Money B, of Digital Underground, confirmed the tape was real, as did Afeni Shakur, who will sue when it it released.

Regardless, it was only a matter of time before the sextape, itself was leaked. After the sextape was leaked, it would be only a matter of time before companies began bidding. Barely a week after the sextape was first announced, companies are already bidding for the tape.

NOHO, the anti-hangover drink, is willing to pay up to $1 million, but they only want the rights to the song playing in the background. For those who actually watched the tape, there is an unreleased song by Tupac playing in the background. The company plans to make the unreleased track, the theme song for their drink.

However, TMZ revealed no one has ever actually heard the song, aside from them and the owner of the sextape. Also, the bidding war for the sextape has peaked at $150,000, while a company has come out of nowhere, bidding $1 million for the unheard song.

Being dead for fifteen years has not prevented Tupac Shakur from being the topic of discussion on a daily basis. Despite his death, there have been claims of him being alive and in hiding or hiding in plain site, as newer rappers. Now, the most outrageous claim about Tupac has surfaced.

Tupac Shakur is the latest victim of the sextape scandal. The sextape market helped mold Kim Kardashian into a star, but is known for ruining lives and reputations. Pictures from Tupac's sextape leaked to the internet. A bidding war for the rights to the film have also began.

Earlier this week, Afeni Shakur, the mother of Tupac Shakur, said she would take legal action if the tape was distributed. A number of people think the sextape is false. However, there are pictures of many of Tupac's closest associates, in the tape. Money B, of Digital Underground, is featured in the sextape and he confirmed the tape is real, as he remembers the day.

Money B said fans should not be surprised if another Tupac Shakur sextape is leaked. According to B, the two rappers used to hang out like that all of the time. Even though the tape was filmed twenty years ago, Money B knew it would be released one day. While he did not know who had it, Money B felt it was too good of an opportunity for the owner to simply sit on such a gem. In the film, Tupac is talking to Money B, while getting pleased.

Greg Kading clears up Statements about Biggie and Tupac

The year of 2011 has been a revolution, of sorts, for hip hop. Several new artists have emerged. Aside from the emergence of new artists, the veterans have experienced success, also. Even the deceased artists are making news.

January of 2011 began with rumors about the Tupac Shakur bio-pic and during the summer, Dexter Isaac admitted he was the person who shot Tupac in 1994 at Quad Studios. Isaac also admitted he shot the rapper on the orders of Jimmy Henchman.

Now, in the fall of 2011, Greg Kading, a former homicide detective for the LAPD, revealed information about the murders of both Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. Greg Kading said a man named Poochie was behind the shooting of The Notorious B.I.G. The former detective also said Lil' Cease has had several stories he was telling about Biggie's murder.

Yesterday, Lil' Cease came out and denied the story Greg Kading had been telling. Kading said it has been a very broad investigation, regarding Tupac's murder and it leads right into Biggie's murder. The former detective said he was led to a Crip gang member, named Orlando Anderson. He said when Anderson was forced, he admitted he, his nephew, and other Crips, were behind Tupac's murder.

Despite the rumors about The Notorious B.I.G. and Sean "Diddy" Combs being behind the Crips' attack on their former friend, Tupac Shakur, Greg Kading said the Crips were not paid off by Bad Boy. Greg Kading said there was no evidence of Biggie being involved in Tupac's murder. However, without the Biggie paying off the Crips theory, there was no reason for the Crips, or Bloods, to have murdered B.I.G.

Tupac Shakur continues to make headlines, fifteen years after his death. Most-recently, Tupac is the latest victim in the sextape scandals. Photographs from the late rapper's sextape were released online by TMZ.

Several adult entertainment companies have been fighting over the rights to the film. If the sextape is sold, the company behind it will likely make obscene profits. Because of this, there is a major bidding war over Shakur's tape.

Afeni Shakur, Tupac's mother, is fighting as hard as she can to stop this from happening. She has threatened legal action if any company tries to distribute the sextape. A private investigation has begun to see who actually is behind all of this.
