2Pac’s sister, Set Shakur, has some words for the attorney of newly-indicted former United States President Donald Trump. Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, recently made an analogy about the All Eyez on Me rapper, which Shakur called out to TMZ.

“My brother was measured by his integrity, his principles, and personal and collective responsibility,” Shakur said, adding that Habba’s comments were “blasphemous.”

On the day that Trump traveled to New York City for his indictment, Habba drew a parallel between the former Apprentice host and 2Pac, legal name Tupac Shakur, on the podcast The Benny Show.

“Donald Trump is 2Pac. Donald Trump is Biggie Smalls,” Habba said in a clip from The Benny Show. “This is just gonna boost him. We’ve seen it in the polls. I mean, it’s not a question, it’s a fact. We’ve seen his polls go up.”

Shakur once served nine months in prison in 1995. In March of that year, the rapper released his third studio album, Me Against the World, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. By October, Shakur was released on a $1.4 million bail, paid by Death Row Records CEO Marion “Suge” Knight.

However, Set Shakur added that fans weren’t only interested in the “Hail Mary” artist because of his imprisonment, but because they “were able to measure him by his words and actions that aligned.”

During his life, Shakur openly expressed his distaste for Trump, calling the now-76-year-old greedy in a 1992 interview with MTV.

“If you want to be successful, if you want to be like Trump, gimme gimme gimme, push push push push. Step, step, step, crush, crush, crush. That’s how it all is, and it’s like… nobody ever stops,” Shakur said.
