The unique partnership was
created by Epps, who despite
juggling a national comedy
tour, promotion of the new
DVD “Funny Bidness” and two
box-office films, “Next Day
Air” and “Janky Promoters”,
decided to augment his
schedule by honoring the
late rapper’s birthday with
a fund-raising event to

Mike Epps
I’m a long-time fan of
Pac’s music. It’s always
been the soundtrack for
overcoming struggle and when
my life was in a desolate
place it was his messages
that helped bring me
through,” says Epps. “I
wouldn’t be where I am today
if it wasn’t for his
inspiration. It’s an honor
for me to stand alongside
his mother, Afeni Shakur in
celebrating such a personal
moment in her son’s history.
"Of course I was a big fan
of Tupac's music. I was born
in 1971 and his music is
something I can relate to.
It was something that was
very parallel to my life and
I was a fan to his music."
