In his exclusive interaction with Alabama Crimson Tide, Tyson himself shed some light on how he met Shakur.

“I met Tupac one day. It was on a sunset and I think it was the palace on sunset, palladium on sunset, and Magic Johnson had a party or something.”

“He went back and came back with like a hundred guys. I said ya’ll together, that you’re by yourself I said so let them go into the back so they went through the back and somehow they got the mic from the emcee and they started rhyming and it was Tupac. And they introduced me to, but they said he’s going to be a big star one day,” said Tyson.
