The incident was more than just a robbery gone wrong for Shakur; it was a betrayal. Biggie and Tupac had once been close friends.
"I know one thing for sure is that they were best friends and they were lovers of the culture."On Nov. 30, 1994, the legendary hip-hop artist Tupac Shakur was attacked in the lobby of Quad Recording Studios in Manhattan.
Dec. 1, 1994: Raw footage of Tupac Shakur in a wheelchair the morning after he was shot in Manhattan. "He's walking around the corner, and he hears some familiar voices from several stories above. The people yelling at him were Lil Cease and members of Biggie's affiliate rap group, Junior Mafia. They were all excited to see each other; Lil Cease runs down to the lobby to meet Tupac," Anderson said.But instead of a friendly reunion, Tupac was confronted by three armed men in the lobby.
"It definitely pivoted to where it was more serious," Spice 1 said. "It wasn't, it wasn't just competition anymore."On the East Coast, representing New York, stood Biggie and his Bad Boy Records, a powerhouse in the rap industry. On the West Coast, representing Los Angeles, stood Shakur and Death Row Records, another dominant force in the game. The rivalry became a key narrative in hip-hop, with fans, artists, and industry personnel all being forced to choose a side.

MGM says it did nothing wrong as 'fraudster' gambled onlineGambling giant MGM Resorts International says it did nothing wrong in its dealings with a New York City man who accuses it of preying on his gambling addiction with repeated cash bonuses intended to keep him gambling. MGM says Sam Antar is a twice-jailed “fraudster” who repeatedly victimized friends, relatives and strangers, calling the lawsuit “his latest scheme.” MGM, which owns Atlantic City's Borgata casino, wants a federal judge to dismiss Antar’s lawsuit and refer the mater to arbitration, which it says is required by the terms of service to which he agreed when he opened an online gambling account. The company also denies it violated any New Jersey laws.
