66-Year-Old Director Of Iowa’s Department Of Human Services Fired Over 2Pac Obsession
Are you a die hard 2 Pac fan? If so, then you can probably relate with Jerry Foxhoven. The 66-year-old director of the Iowa Department of Human Services was fired due to his obsession with the legendary rapper.
Foxhoven sent his love of Tupac to all 4,300 employees, which included weekly emails on “Tupac Fridays” and a playlist that was played all day in the office.
Then on his 65th birthday, Foxhoven had Tupac-themed birthday cookies with “Thug Life” on them. During his two years as a director, Foxhoven sent over 350 pages of Tupac emails. Foxhoven’s co-workers finally had enough. Ok, so maybe he went a little too far.
