Tupac ShakurandSalt-N-PepamemberCheryl “Salt” Jameshad anunbreakable bondthroughout the years leading up to his untimely death in 1996.
“The record company all panicked and only kept shots where you might’t see him.
There were some great Tupac shots.

And Salt always kicks herself.
“[His reputation] was the whole reason.
I hate that when I watch the video, it really bothers me.”

Still, the time he spent away from his friends and family led to extreme loneliness.
“He felt like the whole world was turning against him,” James recalled.
I never really understood why.”
