Two US news anchors have paid tribute to Tupac on what would’ve been the late rapper’s 46th birthday by incorporating snippets of his lyrics into their broadcasts – watch the clip below.
Marking Tupac’s 46th birthday earlier today (June 16), Blankenship and Arum traded lyrical nods to Tupac during their broadcast this morning.
“Like the 285, I get around,” Blankenship began, “’round and ’round, ’round we go every Friday.” Arum delivered most of the references, at one point quipping: “Yesterday morning led to a horrible ride on I85, but you know: that’s just the way it is, some things will never change.”

Tupac’s 46th birthday was also marked by the release of the long-awaited biopic All Eyez On Me in the US. The film will be released in the UK on June 30.
However, Jada Pinkett Smith – who had a close friendship with the late rapper in high school – has criticised the film for its “deeply hurtful” portrayal of their relationship.
