The news first got released through our site, but now the biggest entertainment news site in the world has caught on that there is indeed another Tupac statue being created. TMZ had this to say....
Tupac fans will have a brand new place to pay their respects when a bigger than life, $500,000 statue of him is erected in Georgia.
Jim Burnett owns the amphitheater formerly known as the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts, and tells us he's installing a new 'Pac monument to replace the old one the rapper's family took when they sold the Center in 2015.
Burnett's hired artist Nijel Binns -- who's done statues of Michael Jackson and Shirley Temple -- to lead the project. Binns says he's creating a 7-foot bronze statue based on a 13-inch clay model, which Burnett estimates will cost more than half a million bucks to complete.
They're planning to unveil the new statue in September, around the 21st anniversary of Tupac's death. We'll say this ... the new one's way more gangsta than the OG.
WWETV Atlanta has the exclusive video footage of the first public announcement from Jim Burnett and also the declaration that WWETV is the official media platform for Legacy Garden which will house the Tupac statue.
