AceShowbiz - Tupac Shakur has blasted Donald Trump's attorney for comparing her brother to the former U.S. president. Set Shakur is outraged after Alina Habba compared the disgraced politician to the rap legend after Trump's indictment.
Alina claimed on "The Benny Show" podcast that the indictment would only boost her client's profile, similar to other celebs who went to jail, like Tupac and Notorious B.I.G. "Donald Trump is Tupac. Donald Trump is Biggie Smalls," she told host Benny Johnson.
"But no, Donald Trump is his own brand. He is everything," the attorney went on gushing about the 76-year-old businessman. "This is just going to boost him. We have seen it in the polls. This is not a question. This is a fact."
Set is clearly unhappy that her brother was compared to the former POTUS. "My brother was measured by his integrity, his principles and personal and collective responsibility," she told TMZ.
Calling the recent comments made by the attorney "blasphemous," she noted that her brother took responsibility during his 1994 sexual abuse trial, wherein she isn't seeing a whole lot accountability coming from the former POTUS.
Set additionally claimed that her brother didn't get popular because of his jail stint, but it was his music which caused his popularity to grow because those who listened to his music "were able to measure him by his words and actions that aligned."
She went on praising her late brother as an honorable man who stood for those needing protection and always had others on his mind. She accused Alina of using Tupac's name as a ploy to play to the rapper's fans, warning them not to take the bait.
Donald Trump was officially indicted by a Manhattan grand jury on March 30 for paying alleged hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 presidential election. He's expected to surrender to the Manhattan D.A.'s Office for arraignment on Tuesday, April 4. On Monday, his plane landed in NYC and he headed to Trump Tower.
