15 little known facts about Tupac Shakur (With Pictures)

4. He Made Joshua’s Dream Come True

Along with being an innovator in the music world and also an actor, Tupac was an avid fan of basketball. Basketball was, according to a famous story, once part of a moment that left a lasting impact on the rapper. Tupac received a letter in 1993 from a family of a terminally ill young man named Joshua. All Joshua wanted was to meet Tupac. The rapper fulfilled that wish, and Tupac and Joshua took in a basketball game together. As much as that likely meant to the young man, it also apparently meant a lot to Tupac. He changed the name of his publishing company to Joshua’s Dream after the young man passed away.
