Tyrin Turner recalls the incident while on RapFix. “We are at a table reading, and Tupac’s just annoyed. We’re trying to read and he’s just annoyed,” said the actor. “The director and him had words and Tupac was no longer a part of it.” Tupac onced revealed on “Yo!MTV Raps” that he and his entourage beat up the director, yet, Turner states that it was not true.
