The world knows Tupac, but most never knew his younger sister, whom he was very close to and highly protective of. ‘Pac’s sister is four years his junior and they share the same mother, the late Afeni Shakur, but they have different fathers.
Her name is Sekyiwa Shakur, but her close loved ones refer to her by her nickname, ‘Set.’ The 46 year old sis’ of Tupac was also portrayed in his biopic, All Eyez On Me, in which ‘Pac referred to her as ‘Seky’ in the movie.

Tupac’s Sister, Sekia Shakur Now
The entire time we watched Tupac become the iconic larger than life rap artist in the 90’s, Sekyiwa preferred staying behind the scenes. That’s why it wasn’t until after ‘Pac’s passing that his fans got a brief glimpse of Set, when she made a couple public appearances in honor of her big brother.
Her low key profile is also why most of us never knew she has two children with a ’90s rapper who was very close to ‘Pac. So close in fact, that he’s often described ‘Pac as being “like a brother” to him and he had a tremendous amount of love for him.

*Video below contains explicit language*
In a past interview, Sekyiwa dropped a whopper of a bombshell when she casually mentioned that she has two children with a member of The Outlawz. Remember them? They were Tupac’s group, which he was also a member of and they were also like his second family. *Scroll down to see their kids*
EDI of Tupac’s group, The Outlawz.
The father of Set’s two kids is Outlawz member, EDI (47). Most ’90s hip hop fans probably recognize him very well, because he was always seen with ‘Pac in music videos and at public events. EDI also played himself in the All Eyez On Me biopic.
EDI and Sekyiwa have a son named Malik, and daughter named Nzingha. EDI and Set are no longer a couple and she’s since married her husband, Gregory Jackson (m. 2003). In her prior interview with AllHipHop, Sekyiwa confirmed that she and EDI still successfully co-parented their kids though, by saying “EDI of the Outlawz and I have two children together, and we’ve raised them together.”
