Headline: Cynthia Erivo cast as Tupac Shakur's mother in Snoop Dogg biopic
Caption: The three-time Oscar nominee and Tony, Grammy and Emmy winner will play the late former Black Panthers activist Afeni Shakur, Billboard reports. She joins a star-studded lineup that includes Jonathan Daviss as Dogg, Myles Bullcok Be as Dr. Dre, Lauren London as Beverly Tate and Camron Jones as Tupac. Tupac's complex relationship with Afeni inspired Dear Mama, a US top 10 hit that became one of the most acclaimed songs in hip-hop history. The single appeared on his 1995 Me Against the World LP, which earned a Grammy nomination for best rap album.
