Gotta Have Rock and Roll wins battle over Madonna's Tupac breakup letter
The controvery around Tupac's break-up letter and other intimate things has won the case as the
Manhattan judge ruled that an auction for it can proceed. In a recent interview, Madonna revealed about her relationship with Tupac in public.
Madonna failed to stop her longtime friend and auctioneer Darlene Lutz to stop the sale, which was stopped temporarily pending the outcome of the matter.
Apart from the intimate things of Tupac, the most significant thing is the letter from the late rapper Tupac, who dated pop-singer Madonna secretly.
The American rapper and actor wrote a handwritten letter from prison, which explained that he broke up with Madonna because she was white. The personal things include a brush with Madonna’s hair still entwined in it and a pair of her panties.

"For you to be seen with a black man wouldn't in any way jeopardise your career, if anything it would make you seem that much more open and exciting," the letter read. "But for me at least in my previous perception I felt due to my 'image' I would be letting down half of the people who made me what I thought I was."
Madonna explained that the whole test was an invasion of privacy and even citing potential collection of her genetic material.
She was furious while explaining the auction procedure, “I understand that my DNA could be extracted from a piece of my hair. It is outrageous and grossly offensive that my DNA could be auctioned for sale to the general public.”
In July 2017, the bidding for the breakup Tupac letter reached $100,000. Madonna filed a court order over Gotta Have Rock and Roll's auction, and there were 22 other contested items, from the collection of Lutz - Madonna's former personal assistant.
Madonna had no idea that Lutz had letters ownership, which Tupac wrote a year before his death in 1995. she heard about the online auction last year.
Gotta Have Rock and Roll told the Daily News that the Madonna items would go back on auction in July this year.
