Overview

  • Woodbine recalls 2Pac knocking on his trailer to say he had been “trying to spit game” to Liu during downtime on the Gridlock’d shoot.
  • Liu was practicing with escrima sticks, and Woodbine says Shakur tried to show interest in her training but later admitted the attempt “didn’t work.”
  • The anecdote contains no allegations of misconduct and is presented as a humorous, humanizing behind-the-scenes moment.
  • The story surfaced via The Art of Dialogue and was reported by outlets including VIBE, Complex, HipHopDX, and HotNewHipHop on Aug. 20.
  • Liu said in a 2023 interview that Shakur was “nice” and that they “had a great time together,” and Gridlock’d was released posthumously in January 1997 as one of his final film roles.
