New Friend
During their first encounter, Tupac was already a huge star, selling platinum albums and starring in movies. Biggie, on the other hand, was at the start of his career, waiting for his big break. Tupac wanted to help his new friend with his career, and he let him into his circle.

Tupac’s longtime friend, E.D.I Mean, admitted, “We all thought he [Biggie] was a dope rapper.” Tupac gifted a bottle of Hennessy to Biggie, and they had a seemingly strong friendship. Biggie crashed on Tupac’s couch when he came to California, and whenever Tupac was in New York, he picked Biggie up in a white limousine. In 1993, the two of them freestyled back-to-back at a concert at Madison Square Garden.
