Twitterati Roasts Tupac's Statue
Tweeps are at it again and this time, Tupac's statue in Georgia is the latest victim. A Twitter user shared a photo of the statue captioned, "New Tupac statute in Dallas, what's your thoughts". The statue sees the legendary rapper in a suit, something he was hardly ever seen with. It was later discovered that the statue had been there for close to five years. Here are some of the reactions;Looks like this was the template photo but they failed terribly ....Whom ever did the statue......we need a refund. pic.twitter.com/V0COmInZqL

The DCI shld also arrest the individual(s) who paid the BRIBE. It is a criminal offence to give/offer and to receive a bribe. Arresting and charging Cyprian Nyakundi but not the person who offered the bribe constitutes double standards and a miscarriage of justice #NyakundiSetup pic.twitter.com/2iNHyg6Y3h

Luther King was assassinated in Memphis back in 1968 by a firearm.Incredible & so powerful. Every single American needs to watch & internalize this.
