Lil Xan says he needed a police escort from angry Tupac fans because he's not a "gang-banging rapper"https://t.co/qQZcQL8kA1

Lil Xan was recently asked in an interview about his thoughts on Tupac. He said Tupac's music was "boring" and some people were very upset by this. Some older rappers said Lil Xan was "banned from hip-hop". It turns out Tupac does have a few remaining young fans because some high schoolers who were at their local Del Taco reportedly gathered around Lil Xan and confronted him about it. The situation didn't turn physical but reportedly he ran from the Del Taco to a nearby YMCA and called the police to escort him to his car.
He didn't appreciate people making fun of this story and he made a video defending himself:"I'm not a gang-banging rapper. Am I supposed to act hard? Am I supposed to not fuck with the police because I'm a rapper? Oh wait, I have to huh? Because that's what "cool rappers" do, Right? I gotta be "cool. To say fuck the police. Because that's cool right? Yeah, there's certain cops, "fuck the police", but there's a lot of good cops."
"I'm not a gang rapper. I don't rap about gang shit. I don't rap about selling drugs and shooting guns. So miss me with that "oh he's a pussy". Like guess what? Guess what? When someone break into yo house, who the first person you're gonna call? The cops you dumb motherfuckers"
This explanation didn't exactly match the story he told on Twitter:
The police were already with me to escort me to the meet n greet and I walked there i ain’t afraid of no Lil ass kid 😂 https://t.co/sKMzlES10M

His opinion about Tupac seems to have changed.
"Eu tenho que dizer algo, a mídia distorceu as minhas palavras. Eu acho que o Tupac é uma lenda, Tupac é definitivamente uma lenda. Tupac é uma lenda e eles me distorceram para que me odiassem. Não me odeiem. Positividade" Lil Xan durante encontro com fãs em Redlands, CA, 15/03. pic.twitter.com/JZuwmcBpv7
