CNN —Tupac Shakur may be on the path to winning a Grammy Award posthumously.
Shakur received the nod for the FX five-part docuseries “Dear Mama,” which takes its name from his 1995 single of the same title.
Shakur is competing against two other late artists - David Bowie for “Moonage Daydream” and Little Richard for “I Am Everything” (which premiered on CNN.)
Bowie died following a battle with cancer in 2016, and Little Richard died in 2020, also of cancer related causes.
Little Richard was famously vocal when he was alive about never having received a Grammy.
