Suge Knight Introduces New Theory About Tupac's Death: He Died And Then Was Rolled Into A Blunt And Smoked

  • Tupac Shakur was shot multiple times on September 7, 1996, in Las Vegas after a Mike Tyson fight, and died six days later in the hospital.
  • After Tupac's death, his mother Afeni Shakur demanded an immediate cremation despite Tupac having told Suge Knight he did not want to be cremated.
  • Suge Knight, who was driving during the shooting and was injured, said he paid $1 million in cash for the cremation and that Tupac's close friends passed around a bag of his ashes and smoked them in a blunt.
  • Knight stated he did not partake in smoking the ashes due to being on probation, explaining, "I was so happy to say I was on probation — I couldn’t smoke," and described the act as "It's like... you keep part of him."
  • These revelations, made nearly 30 years after Tupac's death, add new details to ongoing discussions about the rapper's final days and posthumous treatment, while Knight remains incarcerated for a 28-year sentence.
