Who Shot Tupac? - In November of 1994, the day before he was to appear in court for a sexual assault case, Tupac was robbed and shot five times in the lobby of Quad Recording Studio in Manhattan, New York. Tupac believed it was Bad Boy Records’ Diddy and Biggie who helped set it up because the robbers stole all his money but left his Rolex watch behind. This fueled a historic public rivalry between the rappers that made the East Coast vs. West Coast feud even worse. (Photo: Eric Mille/FILE/AP Photo)
