Celebrity figures like Suge Knight (Dominic L. Santana), Jada Pinkett (Kat Graham), Queen Latifah (Khadija Copeland), and Dr. Dre (Harold House Moore) will also be featured in the film.
For those who like their cinematic shared universe continuity connections: Jamal Woolard, the actor who played Biggie Smalls in the biopic Notorious will reprise his role in All Eyez On Me. (Fun fact: Captain America star Anthony Mackie played Tupac in Notorious.)
