6. He Knew Mike Tyson 

Watching Mike Tyson fight inside of the ring was one of the final acts of Tupac’s life. It turns out that the two knew each other before that fateful evening. Tyson once explained in an interview that he first encountered Tupac outside a crowded club located in Brooklyn. The boxing champion did not know of Tupac at the time, but Tyson did help the performer obtain access into the club. The rest, as the well-known saying goes, is history. Tyson has said that Tupac’s mother wrote letters to him when the boxer was behind bars following his rape conviction.
