Tupac’s Sister Accuses Executor Of Family’s Estate Of Embezzling Millions

Recently, Tupac Shakur’s sister Sekyiwa Shakur is accusing the executor of their family’s estate of embezzlement. Tupac’s legacy is hard to define or describe in a few words. Upon his murder during a shooting in 1996, his estate got transferred over to his late mother Afeni Shakur. Sekyiwa became next in line to be a beneficiary of the estate when Afeni passed. Both she & The Tupac Shakur Foundation are filing lawsuits against Tom Whalley, the executor, for several different reasons.

Reasons Why Sekyiwa Is Suing

Tupac Shakur’s sister Sekyiwa Shakur is accusing the executor of their family’s estate of embezzlement. First, Tom Whalley is apparently withholding Tupac’s personal items such as gold records, jewelry, vehicles, art, and more. The lawsuit states, “It is clear that he has used and abused his powers as executor and special trustee of the estate and the trust to convert the personal property belonging to Sekyiwa as a piggy bank from which he has drawn substantial funds for his own benefit.”

Additionally, Tom even made himself the manager of Amaru Entertainment. Both Sekyiwa & The Tupac Shakur Foundation filed lawsuits against Tom for that as a violation. There are Tupac music royalty’s that he’s stealing by doing this practice.

Tom Whalley’s Side Of The Story

While Tupac’s sister accuses the estate executor of embezzlement, the attorney for the trust doesn’t believe that Tom Whalley is doing anything wrong in the situation. Howard King’s exact response was, “These legal claims are disappointing and detrimental to all beneficiaries of the trust.” He went on further to add, “We are confident the court will promptly conclude that Tom has always acted in the best interests of Amaru, the trust, and all beneficiaries.”

How do you think this situation will resolve? It’s a shame that Tupac’s estate and legacy are impacted almost 20 years after his death. Read more of FM Hip-Hop’s featured articles today.
