On a recent episode of Cam Capone News, 2Pac's friend and associate, Napoleon of The Outlawz, claims that 2Pac had the opportunity once to record with Michael Jackson. Napoleon says Pac walked out when The King of Pop pulled a no show.

"Pac mentioned one time that he was called to the studio to do a song for Michael Jackson to lay a verse," Napoleon explained. "He told his his mother, his family — he was excited. And he went to the studio and he was like, 'Where's Michael Jackson?' and they said, 'Oh he can't come. He wants you to lay the verse.' So he got up and left."

Napoleon explained that 2Pac felt disrespected by the snub. "He was like, 'He wasn't man enough to come ... speak to me. I don't wanna be on the song.'"

Napoleon explained further that 2Pac was about ethics, and though he admired Michael, he didn't need the money and saw his absence as a sign of disrespect.

Producer QD3 told a story recently about a potential collaboration between Michael Jackson and 2Pac that differed from Napoleon's account.

"So I set up a meeting at Neverland, I go up there and you know what Michael says? He liked Biggie," revealed QD3, who worked with director Allen Hughes on the upcoming FX docuseries, Dear Mama, which chronicles Tupac's relationship with his mother, former Black Panther Afeni Shakur.

"Thug Nature," which uses an interpolation of Michael Jackson's hit "Human Nature" did end up appearing on the 2000 Death Row compilation Too Gangsta For Radio, as well as other posthumous Tupac albums.
