Tupac was working on a mixtape “The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory” and Quincy Jones son, QDIII (Quincy Jones III), revealed in a recent interview that he contacted Michael on Tupac’s behalf.
“I set up a meeting at Neverland [Ranch],” QDIII shared. The producer, who had also worked on All Eyez On Me, wanted The King Of Pop to appear on “Thug Nature,” a song that sampled the Thriller track “Human Nature”, “I go up there and told Michael about it. And do you know what Micheal said? He liked Biggie.”
Michael, who was working on his upcoming new album “HIStory”, had other plans and he ended up to work with B.I.G. on the track “This Time Around”.
The Tupac track “Thug Nature” was put aside and then was released after the artist passing.
The two artists did meet at a party and had a bit of an argument over a girl. In 2020, Boo Kapone spoke about this affair between the two artists at a party, Tupac’s girlfriend at the time, Kidada Jones had found herself in a conflict between the American rapper and Michael Jackson.
“Michael is like Kidada’s uncle, they are close. He and Quincy Jones have known each other for a long time. Quincy did all of his music. She was with Jermaine Jackson’s daughter all the time. So Michael was at a party, there was a barbecue and Kidada sat on Michael’s lap, it was just affection, nothing more. 2pac arrives, along with Big Syke and Mopreme, and 2pac goes nuts. There was so much energy around, he was with Death Row, there was a lot of money, it was 95-96, they were super hot. ” said Boo Kapone during the podcast “Did You Miss Me”.
“So Kidada was sitting on Michael’s lap, 2pac comes in and sees that and he says, ‘What the hell is she doing sitting on that ne ** o’s lap?’ he then clarified before continuing “And Michael looks at Pac, and Pac comes in and he grabs Kidada. And so she’s in the middle of the two, Pac has his arm, Michael has his arm, there was a start of panic. Pac moves Kidada to the side, Michael intervenes, words are exchanged and they come to blows. Pac attacks first, Pac isn’t the type to talk a lot, he strikes first, Michael bends down to dodge and hits him, Pac kicks him, and they end up on the ground and we separate them . ”.
A misunderstanding between Michael Jackson and 2Pac which finally ended well, the two singers made peace and shook hands, “Spanky Hayes was there, you can ask him. So we separate them and they shake hands and Michael tells her it’s a misunderstanding and that she’s like his niece. ” a conclu Boo Kapone.
