Tupac Shakur’s former manager Leila Steinberg has commented on the late rapper’s sex tape, which, as previously reported, was sold to a private collector last week.

Steinberg told XXL: “He taped a lot. He taped intimate moments that maybe were for himself that he never thought would be public. I’m sure that he documented and recorded way more than anyone will ever know. So that’s why we’ll continue to see things [like this] pop up. I don’t think that ‘Pac [had] an understanding that anything you tape can one day become public”.

She added that although the Shakur estate had previously threatened legal action when it looked like the tape might be sold to a pornographer, she believed that the rapper’s family had been involved in the final sale. “I’m sure that there would not be anything exploited that wasn’t agreed upon by the estate”, she said. “They’re pretty powerful and in control of what gets released and approved, so I would think that they were involved”.

But she was keen to stress that this brief private moment caught on tape was not what the rapper was all about. She concluded: “His number one priority over sex tapes, over personal gratification, more than anything else, was to bring light and attention to really transitioning the state of economics in this country. And that he’d be a vessel and a vehicle to change things and to see balance on the planet”.
