In a recent episode of Fat Joe’s IG live sessions the OG producer and Murder Inc founder Irv Gotti revealed the real reason for the beef between Tupac Shakur and Jay-Z.

One of the tracks from the album is “Brooklyn’s Finest” where Jay-Z teamed up with The Notorious B.I.G. for an explosive collaboration.
According to Irv Gotti, the above-mentioned collaborative song is the main reason Pac to namedrop Jay-Z in his tracks from that moment on. Even though Biggie mentions Tupac just once in the song, this was enough for the “All Eyez On Me” creator.
