#2Pac’s estate is refusing to pay the family of Johnny “J” 👀

A company founded by Tupac Shakur’s mother is asking a judge to throw out a lawsuit over unpaid royalties tied to some of the rapper’s biggest records.

Capucine Jackson, widow of legendary producer Johnny J, claims she is being denied royalty payments connected to Tupac’s music. Johnny J helped create iconic tracks like “Hit ’Em Up”, “How Do U Want It” and “All Eyez On Me”.

The lawsuit targets Amaru Entertainment, the label founded by Afeni Shakur after Tupac’s death. Jackson argues that a producer deal signed in 2001 entitles her and their company Klock Work Entertainment to a share of ongoing royalties.

Amaru’s lawyers say the contracts are clear. They argue Johnny J was only entitled to royalties from record sales and traditional exploitation through Tupac’s distributor, not from digital performance royalties collected by SoundExchange.

In short, Amaru claims SoundExchange payouts were never part of the deal and that the case has no real legal dispute. Any earnings from streams or digital downloads are not to be paid according to the estate of Tupac Shakur. A hearing is scheduled for March 19.

Another reminder that even decades after his death, the business around Tupac Shakur is still being fought over in court.

Thoughts? Should producers be paid forever, or only what’s written in black and white? 💬

I went on youtube I actually didn't find anything else but the song I posted and a song with the same beat as "Picture Me Rollin".  Which brings up the question... that was an old beat that was already released?
