Actually, Tupac did eventually meet his biological father:
Billy (William) Garland. After Tupac was shot five times on November 30, 1994, in New York, he met his father in the hospital. Before this, he had thought that his real father was dead. Tupac later would say "I thought my father was dead all my
life. After I got shot, I looked up there was this nigga that looked just like me. And he was my father; that's when I found out. We still didn't take no blood test but the nigga looked just like me and the other nigga's dead so now I feel that I'm past the father stage."
After Tupac's
death, Afeni and
Billy sent a sample of Tupac's blood to Long Beach Genetics, who did the DNA testing, and the probability of Afeni and
Billy being Tupac's parents was 99.
97% - a match.
