Billy Garland opened up about the challenges and final interactions with his iconic son, 2Pac, before his untimely death in 1996. Garland recounted how 2Pac's signing with Death Row Records was not as straightforward as previously believed. Contrary to popular opinion, Garland clarified that Interscope Records, not Suge Knight, initially funded 2Pac's bail, choosing to stay behind the scenes due to the adverse publicity. Garland expressed mixed emotions about this period, recalling visiting 2Pac in prison and encountering hostility from the environment, though he was relieved when 2Pac was finally released. Garland's last conversation with his son conveyed a growing disenchantment; a control issue from Suge Knight's side hindered their communication, leaving Garland frustrated. Tragically, after 2Pac's release in 1995, father and son never reunited in person, and a year later, 2Pac was tragically killed, leaving their last conversation with unresolved sentiments.
