In December 1993, Shakur and others were charged with sexually abusing a woman in a hotel room. According to the complaint, Shakur sodomized the woman and then encouraged his friends to sexually abuse her. Shakur vehemently denied the charges. He had prior relations days earlier with the woman who was pressing the charges against him. She performed oral sex on him on a club dance floor and the two later had consensual sex in his hotel room. The allegations were made after she revisited his hotel room for the second time where she engaged in sexual activity with his friends and alleged that Shakur and his entourage had gang-raped her, saying to him while leaving, "How could you do this to me?"[22] Shakur stated he had fallen asleep shortly after she arrived and later awoke to her accusations and legal threats.

Tupac grew up on the streets of New York and Califonia were he got involved in street gangs and selling drugs. These experiences provided Tupac with the knowledge that he needed to develope his skills of rapping about the trials and tribulations of the ghetto. He had to face many of the ghetto's evil. However, the greatest evil that he had to face was prehaps his mothers addiction to crack cocain. This hurt Tupac tramendously and prehaps drove him deeper into the streets. Another thing that bothered Tupac was that he never had a male role model.
