Afeni Shakur's Reportedly "Ecstatic" About Tupac Musical

It was announced last week that producer Kenny Leon was planning a Tupac musical for Broadway, but he wanted to get the approval of Afeni Shakur first.

TMZ was the first to report that after Afeni heard about the show she was "ecstatic" and gave Leon her blessing to produce "Holler if You Hear Me." The show is inspired by Tupac's music and is a fictional story about two childhood friends in a Midwestern industrial city and their extended families.

I am glad Mrs. Afeni is happy. Tupac is going 2 be studied 500 yearz from now and truly go down in Eternal history. Was 2Pac imperfect? Anyone born is. Yet he represented hope 4 the hopeless and had a spirit that was truly from GOD. I would compare him most 2 Sampson, an example We all can study and learn from. Thank U Mrs. Afeni ; I am glad 2 see U smile.
