Scarface Recalls Restraining 2Pac from Angry Crowd
26 Sep
Summary
- Scarface recounts holding 2Pac in a hotel to avoid a violent confrontation.
- An angry crowd followed artists back from a 1994 Milwaukee concert.
- Milwaukee reportedly banned rap concerts for years after the incident.
During a recent interview, Scarface recounted a wild night in Milwaukee on September 3, 1994, at the Phat Rap Fest. A crowd followed the artists back to their hotel after 2Pac stopped the show demanding to identify who threw an object at him. Scarface described how he had to physically prevent 2Pac from leaving the hotel room to confront the agitated fans outside.
The situation outside the hotel grew volatile, with windows being broken. Scarface insisted they remain inside until the crowd dispersed. He noted that unlike previous similar incidents, the Milwaukee crowd did not back down, with some individuals identified as coming from Chicago. Other artists present, like MC Eiht, have corroborated similar accounts of the night's events.
Reports suggest that the intense animosity and disturbances that night led to a ban on rap concerts in Milwaukee for several years. This event highlights the volatile atmosphere surrounding some of 2Pac's performances during that era and the efforts taken by those close to him to ensure his safety.
