Reports surfaced, noting that iconic items from Tupac and Biggie would be going up for auction at Sotheby’s in the first-ever dedicated Hip Hop auction at an international auction house.
The Notorious B.I.G.’s crown that he wore in iconic photos that were taken only three days before his death in Los Angeles is up for auction. Along with that, 22 autographed love letters that were written by Tupac Shakur from the age of 15 to 17 to a high school sweetheart are up for auction.
The auction is set to take place on September 15, 2020 at Sotheby’s in New York, and the items can be viewed by reservation. For the headlining lots—Biggie’s crown and Tupac’s letters, they are set to get $200,000 to $300,000 and $60,000 to $80,000.
