Man named Tupac Shakur gets apology from Kentucky governor after he's used as an example of a fake unemployment claim

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has apologized to a man named Tupac Shakur after he made fun of his unemployment claim, mistakenly believing it to have been a prank.   In a press conference on Monday, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said someone in the state had filed for unemployment under the name Tupac Shakur. He then called the person out for "using somebody else's identity."   Beshear added: "And that person probably felt they were being funny, they probably did.
