Growing up in the hood, life wasn’t easy for the WWE legend as he had to resort to selling cocaine on the streets for extra money in his early 20s. This was also when Ron developed his love for Hip Hop. The rapper has two albums “Invinceable” and “Killingit”.
Speaking on New Day: Feel The Power, the wrestler-cum-rapper revealed how he once had a chance meeting with the late legendary Gangsta Rapper, Tupac Shakur. R-Truth said that he was very young when he met the Rap legend after Tupac did his movie Juice in 1992.
“I was very young still then, in those pictures. I was just happy to be there at that time. We went from Atlanta, to VA, to DC. It was a thing called The Jack the Rapper Convention. Back then, it was demo tapes. I had my box of demo tapes, vinyl, and that’s where Tupac had just done the movie Juice when I met him,” said Truth.
R-Truth met the legend during his early days trying to make a name for himself in the rap game.
