Trick Daddy recently addressed long-standing rumors surrounding his connection to 2Pac before the rapper’s tragic passing in 1996. In a recent interview clip shared by VladTV, the Liberty City MC shed light on his involvement in an unfinished song with the hip-hop icon following his untimely demise.
During the conversation, host DJ Vlad brought up a bar from 2Pac’s “Still Ballin’ [Nitty Remix],” where Pac mentions Trick Daddy: “’Cause Trick don’t give a f*ck, where you coward n-ggas now?”
While Trick Daddy clarified that he wasn’t a prominent figure in the rap scene during 2Pac’s lifetime, he refrained from divulging how his name ended up in the song. He explained that he made a promise to 2Pac’s mother, Afeni Shakur, to never reveal the details surrounding the collaboration.
Trick Daddy also shared the backstory of the song, revealing that Afeni Shakur personally reached out to him and asked him to contribute to the remix with her late son. The track eventually made its way onto the posthumous album “Better Dayz.”
Reflecting on his admiration for 2Pac, Trick Daddy expressed profound respect for the late rapper’s impact and legacy. He recounted how quickly he recorded his part for the song and expressed awe at hearing it on the radio shortly after.
Throughout the interview, Trick Daddy reminisced about his favorite 2Pac tracks, including “Brenda’s Got A Baby,” “Keep Ya Head Up,” and “Hellrazor.” His admiration for 2Pac’s music underscores the profound influence the legendary rapper continues to have on artists in the hip-hop community.
Trick Daddy’s refusal to address the conspiracy theory surrounding his collaboration with 2Pac demonstrates his loyalty to the late rapper’s family and his reverence for 2Pac’s enduring legacy in hip-hop culture.
