If he wanted a meatier role, then that was his prerogative...but he handled it like a complete unprofessional.
" It was during their table reading and Tupac apparently didn’t like the lack of depth his character, “Shareef,”. According to Tyrin, ‘Pac would consistently interrupt the readings and burst out with questions toward the Hughes brothers as to why “Shareef’s” back story, of being a street kid, wasn’t incorporated into the film, to explain why he became a conscious, peaceful cat. In other words, ‘Pac didn’t want to represent a character that appeared to be too soft and righteous, without any street cred."
Deal with creative concerns in private, not at a fukking table read! Not even Jennifer Lopez would pull that.
And then jumping Allen Hughes with his goons rather than handling it man-to-man? Serious bytch energy there.
