Tupac: A playa' to the grave.

The Supreme Court declined to revive a libel lawsuit filed against two Philly newspaper by a critic of violent rap lyrics.

Longtime civil rights activist C. DeLores Tucker, who died last year, accused the papers of mischaracterizing her dispute with the estate of slain rapper Tupac Shakur and others. Shakur wrote lyrics that rhymed Tucker's name with an obscenity in his 1995 release "how do you want it?".
Delores Tucker/ You's a mother-fucker/ instead of tryin' tp help a nigga/
you destroy a brother/ worse than the others/
Tucker had sued Shakur, alleging, among other things, that her husband, William Tucker, had suffered loss of "consortium" because of the emotional distress brought on by Shakur. hmmm..(??) Loss of consortium has been defined by AAOS as "loss of services, comfort, society and conjugal relations because of a spouse's injury".

The Philadelphia Daily News and The Legal Intelligencer, a daily newspaper covering legal affairs in Philadelphia, were among the news organizations that reported on the lawsuit and interpreted loss of consortium to mean harm to the Tuckers' sex life. Tucker said the claim had nothing to do with sex, but with "advice, society, companionship, i.e., defendants' effect upon the 'family union.'"

William Tucker pursued a libel suit on his and his late wife's behalf. Pennsylvania state courts dismissed the libel claims.

The man is still pursuing a case in protection of his wifes opinion of his "consortorium" after the poor woman is dead. Need I say more?
