Tupac also visited a young Joshua Torres (aged 11 at the time) after his mother had called a radio station to ask the rapper to call Torres who was on his deathbed.

According to reports:

To lift Joshua’s spirits, she called a radio station to find out how she could get Mr. Shakur to phone her dying son.

Not only did the singer call, but in a matter of hours, he arrived via jet to the proving ground from New York and was knocking on the Torreses’ door.

“Joshua was very weak, but he smiled for him and quoted some of his lyrics,” Mrs. Torres said.

Then he died.

Tupac then went ahead and renamed his publishing company from Ghetto Gospel to Joshua’s Dream.
