RAPPER SOULJA BOY is to play the part of TUPAC SHAKUR in a new documentary of the tragic hip-hop star.
Soulja Boy, 20, has already signed up to appear in a remake of Shakur's 1992 film Juice, tackling the role that launched the Changes hitmaker as a film star.
Shakur was shot dead in Las Vegas in 1996. He was an American rapper. Shakur had sold over 75 million albums worldwide, which made him one of the best-selling music artists in the world.
The young rapper has now confirmed he has been approached to play Shakur in a movie retelling of his life story, but Soulja Boy isn't sure whether he should take on such a high profile part.
He tells MTV's RapFix Live, "I got an email from William Morris Agency - that's my agency that I'm with - they reached out to me to play the part (of Shakur). I'm just still thinking about it right now. Even with the whole Juice movie, I'm playing a part that Tupac played, but I'm not actually playing 'Pac. When it comes to this, I'm actually gonna be playing 'Pac, so I'm really still just thinking about it. But I'm just honoured that they would reach out to me and ask me anyway."
