Suge Knight Real name Marion Knight, 'Suge' is the owner of Deathrow Records. He posted bail for Tupac in exchange that he signed to Death Row upon his release and made a number of albums. Tupac was always seen with Suge, and Suge was driving the car that Tupac was the passenger of when he was killed. Many people believe Suge played a role in the murder of Tupac, and his rival Biggie Smalls.
Snoop Dogg One of the closet friends of Tupac. They recorded many songs together including the hits '2 Of Amerika's Most Wanted' and 'Wanted Dead Or Alive'. 2pac repected Snoop as a person and an artist, and its rumoured they recorded an album together, which was unfinshed due to Tupac's demise and is yet to be released!
Outlawz This group are Tupac's lil homies. They are the group Tupac formed whilst incarcerated to take on the East Coast rappers that wre taking over his reign over Hip Hop whilst he was locked up. They are Tupac's closet homies, and stood up for Tupac, and backed him in everything he did, even after his death. They have featured on numerous tracks after Tupac's death, and it can be said 2pac aint 2pac without the Outlawz. They also feature on the legandary diss track, 'Hit Em Up', a violent diss to numerous rappers, including Biggie, Mobb Depp and Puffy.
Chuck D Chuck D met Tupac while he was still with Digital Underground and the two became close friends over the years. Chuck had already hit fame years before with one of the best rap group of all time 'Public Enemy' and was said to be very close to Tupac. He has featured in many interviews paying tribute to the late Tupac.
Shock G Apart from Treach from Naughty By Nature, Snoop Dogg, and The Outlawz, Shock G was one of Tupac's closest friends. Shock G was the one who helped Tupac into the music industry and as you can imagine the two became very close friends. Shock was quoted as saying "if pac phoned you would drop whatever you were doing and fly to wherever he was, I always felt like Tupac was special, it was like I was putting music to a Malcolm X or a Huey Newton!"
Madonna This close relationship between Madonna and Tupac was brought to me by Frank Alexanders book "Got Your Back". He states it was in the last half year of Tupac's life that he met Madonna. Together they made a song "Rather Be Ya Lover". The pair were good friends, and its rumoured they maybe took their relationship one step further.
Omar Epps Actor Omar Epps has been in many great films and starred with Tupac in the film 'Juice'. During there time together Tupac and Omar are said to have become close friends and kept in contact after they finished filming 'Juice'.
John Singleton John Singleton is one of America's best Directors, he directed 'Juice', and as soon as he met Tupac he knew he was looking at a great actor in the making. Tupac and John became friends during the making of 'Juice' as well as being in 'Poetic Justice'. Tupac was also supposed to be in 'Menace 2 Society'. Tupac said he didn't really want to do 'Poetic Justice' but he did it for John as a close friend.
Treach Treach was a great friend of Tupac, after his death Treach said: "My man 'Pac, he didn't have a criminal record until he had a record. Once you get into the light, alot of stuff comes on to you! One thing I can say, he was one of the realest niggaz that lived. He said whatever was on his mind, he never bit his tongue for nuthin". Treach also has a tattoo on his arm of Tupac. Treach belongs to the group 'Naughty By Nature', the whole group were friends of Tupac, but it was Treach who was the closet to him!
Marlon Wayans Marlon Wayans in one of the Wayans Brothers, you may remember him from the film 'Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood', a classic, but most Tupac fans remember him from 'Above The Rim'. Like Omar Epps, Tupac became friendly with Marlon during filming.
Frank Alexander Frank was Tupac's bodyguard. He was probably with Tupac the most out of everyone around him, and out of all Tupac's enntourage, Tupac trusted, was closest to, and liked Frank the most. Frank has paid tribute to Tupac after his death many times, and also left his position at Death Row after pac's death. He has since wrote a book about his experiences with Tupac, entitled 'Got Your Back', an honest account of Tupac's last years from one of his closet friends, and a man who knew the Tupac many did not!
