While the brothers were shooting a video for a song on the Menace II Society soundtrack, Tupac showed up with a large group and confronted and attacked them.

The drama continued after Tupac got fired from the film He claimed that Allen and Albert - who had worked with Tupac on previous music videos - didn’t want him in the film and had only tapped him because it was a requirement in their movie deal with New Line Cinema. While it was a sad time for some of the cast, MC Eiht alleged to VladTV that the Hughes brothers were relieved. Watch his comments between the 8:06 and 9:00 markĪfter his firing, Tupac was replaced by actor Vonte Sweet. Allen comes back in and Tupac never returns.” “Allen Hughes was like, ‘Tupac, why you acting like a b*tch? … Let’s step outside,'” Turner recalled.

Turner recalled in a separate interview with VladTV that at one particular rehearsal, Tupac spoke out of turn saying he could not get into the character and needed “more.” Movie executives weren’t into that, but Tupac persisted, often speaking out and complaining about his character at table readings. He also thought that Sharif should’ve had more of a backstory that detailed how he got into religion and came to be the person he was, MC Eiht alleged. Menace II Society actor MC Eiht told VladTV in 2016 that Tupac questioned why he had to play Sharif when so many other actors got to play gangsters. Tupac’s complaints about his character caused tension on set But, as the story goes, Tupac wasn’t satisfied with his character and didn’t hesitate to express that. Tupac was given a smaller role in the film as Sharif, Caine’s Muslim friend who tries to put Caine on a more righteous path by offering up teachings from the Nation of Islam.
