Mopreme, birth name Maurice Harding, is a rapper. He became Maurice Shakur when his father, Mutulu Shakur, changed their family name. He did so after he married Afeni, who took on the last name Shakur along with her son, Tupac.

Mopreme was also 2Pac’s body guard – he was quoted as saying “2Pac’s security detail failed the night ‘Pac was killed” because he himself wasn’t there as his body guard. His first appearance was on the 2Pac’s single “Papa'z Song,” where he was credited as Wycked.

He was also a member of the short-lived hip hop group Thug Life.
