Is Ray J the reason behind the infamous beef?
The viral thread on Twitter stated, “25 years ago today Tupac drops Hit Em Up. Faith says nothing happened. Snoop’s cousin is running around Death Row. He’s only 15. He says he saw Faith sitting on Tupac’s lap in the studio. Wait a minute ain’t that.” For the unversed, Faith Evans was Biggie’s wife until the rapper died in 1997. Their turbulent marriage is considered as one of the reasons behind the rivalry of West Coast and East Coast hip-hop.
