Afeni Shakur was fiercely protective of her son, Tupac Shakur's, music, likeness and earnings following his death in 1996, and assured that would still be the case after her passing.
The former Black Panther Party member set up a trust protecting Tupac's valuable music catalog. Income generated will only go to specific family members and select charities. Former head of Warner Bros. Records, Tom Whalley, has been named executor.
A rep for the estate told TMZ that the "paperwork is flawless," meaning the estate will be protected during ongoing divorce proceedings in North Carolina from Afeni's husband of 12 years, Gust Davis.
Davis had previously asked the court for half of the income Afeni received from the estate, for the remainder of his life.
As we previously reported, Afeni died Monday May 2, after suffering what is believed to a heart attack at her Sausalto, California home. She was 69-years old.
She is survived by her sister, Gloria, and a daughter, Sekyiwa Shakur ... Tupac's half sister.
