Here's a new growth industry: TUPAC SHAKUR litigation. In the year since Shakur's death, at least five suits have been brought against his estate, the most recent by a suspect in his murder. Last week Orlando Anderson filed a personal-injury suit that claimed he was beaten up by Shakur and friends hours before the rap star was killed. Shakur's lawyer, Richard Fischbein, immediately fired back with a wrongful-death lawsuit against Anderson. Earlier, Shakur's mother Afeni won control of Shakur's master recordings from Death Row Records, and settled a claim that the estate owed the company more than $7 million. An Arkansas woman's award of $16.6 million after being shot and paralyzed at a Shakur concert is being appealed. Even Shakur's father is suing for a cut. The prize for the most bizarre suit, however, goes to antirap warrior C. DeLores Tucker, who claims that lewd remarks made about her on Shakur's album All Eyez on Me caused her so much distress that she and her husband have not been able to have sex. She wants $10 million.
