American rapper Tupac Shakur was killed in September 1996 in his manager's car with four shots from a passing car. However, over time, Tupac became the new Elvis Presley, as theories that the musician is alive continue to appear to this day. The other day, the son of Suga Knight, the very manager, Marion announced on his Instagram page that Tupac was alive.
Over the past two days, Marion Knight has posted a string of posts claiming Tupac's death was a staged and conspiracy theory. The young man also said that the musician is now in Malaysia. Marion Knight went on to publish a series of photographs depicting a very Tupac-like man with contemporary hip-hop stars, including Kanye West and Beoinse, who began their musical careers after the rapper's death.
According to the young man, Tupac's death was staged to save his life and that of Suga Knight. He also noted that Sug Knight survived three attempts on his life. Curiously, Marion's statements came just a day after Tupac's former bodyguard, Michael Nice, made a similar announcement. Nice said that he was part of the security team, whose task was to save the musician and help him escape from the United States. According to Nice, he was transported to Cuba with the help of Fidel Castro himself.
“I have audio and video evidence of how Fidel Castro approved Tupac’s residence in Cuba,” The Sun's bodyguard said. “And he approved of the body swap I was involved in. There were conditions for this help. There was a time limit. There were conditions of behavior. He shouldn't have admitted to being in Cuba."
Nice, however, confirmed that Tupac was indeed injured that September night, but he managed to save his life, after which the above operation was conceived. The reaction of users on the web was mixed. Most people expressed confidence that Mairon and Nice are trying to promote themselves on the death of the rapper. However, there are people who believed their statements. It was reported this summer that former mobster Dwayne Keith Davis named Tupac's killer in an interview for the Netflix documentary "The Unsolved Case." In his opinion, the musician was killed by Davis's nephew, Orlando Anderson.
This was not a big revelation, since back in 2002 the Los Angeles Times put forward a similar version and published a large article with circumstantial evidence against Anderson, who on the day of his death was beaten up by Shakur's entourage. Wanting revenge, he called a meeting of the gang, at which it was decided to kill Tupac and make some money. According to the author of the article, the East Coast rapper The Notorious BIG was in Los Angeles that day, who promised to pay Anderson $ 1 million for the murder of the West Coast leader. A week after Shakur's death, Anderson's group received $ 50,000 - the first part of the promised million. How the further payments were made is not reported in the article. By the way, The Notorious BIG himself was killed in 1997 in similar circumstances.

Born in 1971, Tupac Shakur very quickly rose to world fame and, at the age of 20, made the entire musical community talk about himself. In 1991 his first solo album, 2Pacalypse Now, was released. During his short music career, Tupac has recorded a number of iconic compositions and has had a huge impact on the development of hip-hop and many artists, including Eminem, Leal Wayne, Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
In the last years of his life, Shakur was a participant in the so-called war of the two coasts, which entailed feuds with other hip-hop artists and music producers, including the leader of the East Coast The Notorious BIG and Bad Boy Records. On the night of September 7, 1996, the 25-year-old musician with Sug Knight was in Las Vegas for a boxing match with the participation of Mike Tyson. After the fight ended, Tupac got into Knight's car and left the arena.
Closer to midnight, a white Cadillac approached in the car, from which several shots were heard, four of which hit the musician. Tupac was rushed to the hospital, where he was put into an artificial coma. Despite desperate attempts, doctors failed to save the rapper's life, and on September 13, 1996 at 16:03 local time, Shakur's death was pronounced.
