Tupac Shakur’s Estate Sued Over “Bury Me a G” Royalties

More the 20 years since the release of Tupac Shakur’s group Thug Life’s hit single “Bury Me a G,” featured single Natasha Walker has come forth to file a lawsuit against the late rapper’s estate for royalties, plus damages and attorney’s fees, TMZ reports.

“Bury Me a G” is the first song on the album Thug Life: Volume 1. Thug Life was a group that Pac started and featured  Big Syke, Macadoshis, Mopreme and The Rated R. They released one album in 1994 then disbanded after Tupac’s death in 1996.

Walker, who was a member of R&B group Y?N-Vee, sang backups on the song and even has a credit on the track. In documents obtained by the celebrity media outlet, she claims to have made a deal with Tupac back in 1993 that she would share equal ownership of the song. Walker says that she had never been paid.

Although statute of limitations for contractual claims in the state of California is only four years, Walker’s attorney, Jennifer Harris, contends that the song continues to make money and will continue to do so in the future, her client has every right to come for what she feels is owed to her.

Back in April, Shakur was inducted into the 2017 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Brooklyn at The Barclays Center.

Snoop Dogg gave a heartfelt speech as he gave his homeboy the posthumous honor and in his tribute described Pac in-depth and recanted their first meeting when Makaveli introduced him to his first blunt. Capturing Tupac’s essence, he described the late great MC saying,  “To be human is to be many things at once. Strong and vulnerable. Hard headed and intellectual. Courageous and afraid. Loving and vengeful. Revolutionary and don’t get it F’d up… and gangsta.”

Alicia Keys, Naughty By Nature’s Treach, YG and T.I. also hit the stage and paid tribute to the Hip-Hop icon.
