Nude Tupac photo hits the auction block
A never-before-seen photo of late rapper Tupac Shakur’s, ahem, member is going up for auction Wednesday.
The uncensored image will be available at Gotta Have Rock and Roll auction house and bidding will start at $15,000.
The rapper’s ex-girlfriend, who is choosing to remain anonymous, snapped the shot.
“This nude photograph of Tupac was taken in 1990 at a house party in Marin County. Always the showman (and jokester!) Tupac would, on occasion, drop his pants when least expected and catch his friends by surprise,” she said. “On this particular night, when my camera was about to go off taking a group shot, he did it again! I told him I was going to zoom in if he didn’t move fast and yank his pants up, but he just grinned at me and didn’t budge. Flash! These singular photos capture the playful, spontaneous and uninhibited side of Tupac.”
Tupac’s 1996 death certificate also will be auctioned with bidding opening at $5,000.
A series of nude photos of Madonna will also be on the block. The opening bid for each Madge snap is $500.
The auction house was recently in the news when they pulled 22 items from a sale of the pop queen’s personal items that had come from her former pal Darlene Lutz.
Madonna legally blocked the sale and the parties have a court hearing Dec. 6.
We’re told the other items come from a different source.
