2Pac's Former Bodyguard Posts Never Before Seen Footage Online

Published Mon, May 23, 2022 at 4:50 PM EDT

Footage of Tupac Shakur, reportedly never-before-seen and from Public Enemy's Fear of A Black Planet Tour, was recently uploaded to the social media platforms of his former bodyguard, Sensei Aaron Allen. The caption that accompanies the video reads: "32 years ago I met Pac on the FEAR of A Black Planet tour in 1990. Here is where I helped Pac Escape from the COPS. THEY wanted to arrest him for doing sexual acts on stage when he was dancing with Digital Underground. I WAS HIS PERSONAL BODYGUARD BACK THEN."

In the footage, Pac is wearing a fisherman hat and Street Knowledge T-shirt while walking through the crowd. Allen is seen walking behind him.

Allen is no stranger to the music business himself, as he was Long Island's first emcee with a record deal, recording under the name Butch Cassidy. Allen was also Chuck D of Public Enemy's partner in the pre-P.E. mobile DJ unit known as Spectrum City; and a member of the 90s rap group 5-0.

"Digital Underground used to hump these blow up dolls on stage," Allen explained to JayQuan in a 2019 interview. "Back then, you could get locked up in certain states for imitating sexual acts." Allen recalled: "Once Pac was back from filming, he was about to be handcuffed right after one of their shows backstage. He said 'Aaron you gotta help me man, I canโ€™t get arrested.' I said 'we canโ€™t go either way from the stage, we need to go through the crowd.' I had to use a one inch punch to navigate Pac through the crowd, because even though he wasnโ€™t famous yet, he was still a rapper. So I was clearing the way through the crowd for Pac and thatโ€™s how I became his personal bodyguard for that tour. Pac was a cool dude bro, and Iโ€™m fortunate to say that I knew him. He wasnโ€™t a gangster like he would later be portrayed."
