It appears Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Tupac Shakur have squashed their beef.
State officials are working to resolve an unemployment claim filed last month by Shakur, a Kentucky man not related to the iconic hip-hop artist, after Beshear pointed it out on Monday as an example of fake claims that had been filed in the commonwealth.
“The governor was advised that a fraudulent claim had been filed in the name of Tupac Shakur. It now appears that a Kentuckian by that name has filed a claim," Beshear spokesman, Sebastian Kitchen, told The Courier Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network, on Tuesday."This morning, Gov. Beshear called Mr. Shakur to apologize. The Office of Unemployment Insurance is working to resolve the claim.
"We had somebody apply for unemployment for Tupac Shakur here in Kentucky," Beshear said Monday. "That person probably thought they were being funny, they probably did — except for the fact that because of them, we've got to go through so many other claims, and one person thinking that they were funny, using somebody else's identity, is going to make tens of thousands … of other people wait.
