In a recent interview with VladTV, comedian Bill Bellamy shared vivid memories of his interactions with the legendary Tupac Shakur. Bellamy detailed receiving a personal letter from 2Pac while the rapper was incarcerated at Rikers Island. Despite the digital age we live in now, Bellamy reminisced about the hundreds of handwritten letters he received at MTV, one of which stood out— a touching letter from 2Pac. The letter, written on yellow-lined paper, expressed 2Pac’s gratitude and included his prison number. He invited Bellamy to be part of his "Temptations" music video, which featured an ensemble of stars including Jada Pinkett, Ice-T, and Salt-N-Pepa. Bellamy also recalled an encounter where he hugged 2Pac, who was wearing a bulletproof vest, a poignant moment signifying the danger 2Pac was constantly under even before the infamous Quad Studios shooting. These anecdotes highlight the profound impact and the complicated life of the rap icon.
