Legendary professional skateboarder Tony Hawk took to Instagram and revealed a rare photo of himself and Tupac Shakur from an encounter in the early 1990s.
According to Hawk, he and 2Pac met at the American Music Awards. “My missing photo with Tupac: I attended the American Music Awards in 1991 because my sister was there performing with Michael Bolton,” said Hawk.
Hawk noted he saw Tupac standing alone backstage and approached him. “I recognized him from Digital Underground (go listen to “Same Song” for context). His first album had not dropped yet, and nobody else seemed to notice him. I took a picture of him and [Riley’s mom] Cindy, and I thought she took one of him and me.”
The shot was thought to be lost, according to Hawk, but was found and digitally restored. Take a look at his full take on meeting Tupac above.
