Notorious B.I.G.’s crown, Tupac’s love letters up for auction

NYC- Rapper Notorious B.I.G.’s crown, is up for auction, along with love letter’s from rapper Tupac and more.

Biggie’s autographed crown, which is famous, because it was his last recorded photo shoot will be part of Sotheby’s auction, which is celebrating Hip-Hop.

The crown, was worn by the Brooklyn rapper, just three days before he was killed.

According to BBC, photographer Barron Claiborne, who also signed the crown, has kept the crown in his possession, and is “very excited” to share the iconic piece of Hip Hop.

Sotheby’s is expecting the crown to sell for $200,000 to $300,000 (£150,500 to £225,900) .

Rapper Tupac’s love letter’s from when he was 16-years-old, that were sent in by Kathy Loy, who dated the rapper while they were both studying at the Baltimore School for the Arts in the late 1980s, will also be up at the auction.

There are 22 letters in all, all signed by the rapper, who was also killed.

The letters are estimated to be worth $60,000 to $80,000 (£45,000 to £60,100).

The letter’s include Tupac writing about Jada Pinkett-Smith, his mother working late nights and more.

In one of the letters, Tupac wrote “My old manager came over and said she doesn’t want me to retire from rap but I think I am because I can’t handle too much rejection and I don’t have the time….”.

The Live auction, which is being put together by former Tommy Boy Records president Monica Lynch, will be taking place on Sept. 15th in New York City.

Some of the money from the 120 items that will be sold, will go towards community projects in NYC.
