The production of the long-awaited Tupac biopic has been anything but smooth sailing. Director John Singleton is off the project and will be replaced by Carl Franklin.
At first, Singleton initially stated that his involvement in the project was “on hold,” but recently, the Boyz in the Hood director shared his side of what went down via Instagram.
Singleton’s comments didn’t end there.
“Real talk! How you gonna make a movie about a man when you suing his mother to get the rights to tell his story?! They have no true love 4 Pac so this movie will not be made with love! And that’s why my a** isn’t involved! If Tupac knew what was going on he’d ride on all these fools and take it to the streets…But I won’t do that…I’ll just make my own project. What Yall think about that?!!”
With the recent news of Afeni Shakur allegedly being sued by Morgan Creek and Singleton working on his own film, one can only hope that the film is A. of good quality and B. not too delayed.
