Mother of late rapper Tupac Shakur files lawsuit seeking $1.1m in unpaid royalties for album released after his death

The mother of Tupac Shakur has filed a lawsuit seeking $1.1million in unpaid royalties from an album released after the rapper's death.

Afeni Shakur, 66, filed the lawsuit against Entertainment One claiming breach of contract for failure to pay royalties on the album Beginnings: The Lost Tapes released in June 2007.

Entertainment One in July bought the rights to Tupac's music that was previously owned by Death Row Records, according to the lawsuit.

Afeni is co-administrator of her son's estate and also demanded in her lawsuit that Entertainment One turn over master recordings of all of her son's unreleased music, according to a report on Wednesday in TMZ.

The album featured 10 songs with Tupac's early crew and prompted Tupac's joining of the Digital Underground tour as a roadie.

Tupac was shot multiple times in a drive-by shooting on September 7, 1996 while driving in Las Vegas after watching a Mike Tyson boxing match.

The rapper was rushed to a hospital and died six days later.
