Tupac Amaru Shakur, or simply 2Pac to his fans, was a rapper who spent most of his life in the spotlight. He held incredible talent and managed to create 11 albums within a few years. If he were still alive today, June 16 would mark his 51st birthday (Happy Birthday Tupac). In 1971, Tupac was brought into the world by his mother Afeni Shakur, and her partner Billy Garland in East Harlem in New York City.

Will Smith Is Going To Make A Comeback With I Am Legend 2

Will Smith won the Academy Award for Best Actor earlier this year, yet all anyone will remember is how he slapped Chris Rock after being his presenter during the live broadcast. It seemed like a comedic faux pas at first, but it quickly turned serious and Will Smith issued an apology shortly after.

This unfortunate incident could clip Will Smith’s career some time as he takes time away from the spotlight to reflect on what went wrong. But don’t sleep on him just yet, because Smith will be making a comeback with I Am Legend 2. With that being said, I Am Legend (the former part) was released in 2007.
