Tupac’s friends & family ‘smoked his ashes hours after his death & paid $1m in cash to have him cremated immediately’ ...Middle East

TUPAC Shakur’s ashes and weed were rolled up into a blunt and smoked by some of his closest friends and family, according to Suge Knight.

Knight – who was with the slain rapper when he was shot – said that multiple people, including Tupac‘s mother Afeni Shakur, gathered to smoke Tupac’s ashes directly after he was cremated.

“His homies rolled him up. They smoked him,” he told People from jail, where he is serving 28 years for a fatal hit-and-run in 2015.

The ex-CEO of Death Row Records also alleged that Tupac’s mother demanded he be cremated immediately after his death.

Knight claimed he personally paid $1 million to have Tupac incinerated right away.

“You gotta understand, that’s what made sense,” Knight said.

The story aligns with a 2011 interview in which The Outlawz — Tupac’s music group — claimed they smoked the ashes on a beach during a memorial with his family, including Afeni.

“We were giving him our own farewell,” rapper Noble said at the time, according to Elle.

“We twisted up some of that great-granddaddy California kush and mixed the big homie with it.”

EDI Mean, another member of the group, pointed to the lyrics of Tupac’s “Black Jesuz” song, in which he sings: “Cremated, last wishes…smoke my ashes.”

“It was symbolic,” Knight said of the alleged incident. “It’s like… you keep part of him.”

Tupac’s family, however, adamantly denied that the smoke session ever took place in 2011.

They said at the time that they would never have approved of it.

A family spokesperson added that those partaking “would have had to sneak the remains past the family member in charge of keeping an eye on the ashes at the memorial,” according to TMZ.

The spokesperson said that Afeni, who died in 2016, would “never participate in smoking her son.”

Knight said that he was on probation at the time, so he opted out of the alleged rotation.

Why it’s taken so long for justice in the Tupac Shakur case

By The Sun’s Senior Reporter Emma Parry, who has been reporting on the Tupac murder for the past 10 years

TUPAC fans have been waiting for justice for the iconic rapper for almost 28 years.

Finally in September 2023 there appeared to be progress with the arrest of Duane “Keefe D” Davis – a former Southside Crip gangster from Compton, LA – who had been telling the world for years that he and his fellow “gang soldiers” were responsible for the hit.

I’ve been reporting on the case for several years and it always appeared pretty cut and dry…Keefe had spent the past decade gaining notoriety by boasting about his alleged involvement in the shooting – now he was finally getting what he deserves. But despite Keefe running his mouth for years, I now believe a guilty verdict in November’s trial is far from guaranteed.

Keefe describes in great detail in his memoir Compton Street Legend what went down the night Pac was shot, extracts from which The U.S. Sun has published.

He claimed that he was offered a million dollars by rapper Diddy to “handle” Tupac and Suge Knight and when he and his Crip gangsters came across the pair driving near the Strip in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, Keefe alleged he passed the gun to his nephew Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson who took the shot. Keefe said if Pac had been on his side: “I would have blast”.

Keefe repeated the claims multiple times over the years, on YouTube channels, documentaries, and even in taped confessions to police, when he believed he could not be prosecuted. In one confession to the LAPD, Keefe appeared completely remorseless telling detectives: “We didn’t give a f**k…The ambulance [for Tupac] was parked right here next to us. That s**t was as funny as a motherf**ker.”

The Sun has been publishing stories about Keefe’s self confessed involvement in the crime since 2018.

I sent many links to his confessions to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, asking them why this man had not been arrested yet. They would thank me for the info but say that they could not comment because the case was still active. From the outside, it looked like no action was being taken at all. 

We spoke to former detectives involved in the case and documentary makers who all felt utterly frustrated at the lack of progress in the case. We even published a plea from former LAPD detective Greg Kading, who had probed the murders, urging Las Vegas cops to arrest Keefe, back in 2020.

For years, the case appeared to have been forgotten and ignored, to be left forever unsolved. 

But finally, in the summer of 2023, we got word from our sources that there had been a huge development in the case. A secret grand jury was due to be held on whether or not Keefe should be indicted. I was dubious at first but around the same time a house in Henderson, Nevada, linked to Keefe, was raided in July as part of the Tupac investigation. 

Things were heating up.

Later that summer, behind closed doors, jurors listened to hours of testimony from former cops, detectives, and coroners involved in the Tupac case and gangsters and associates of Keefe’s and Pac’s from back in the day. They were shown graphic photos of Tupac’s bullet-ridden body. After days of evidence, they decided there was enough evidence to prosecute Keefe. 

Once the secret documents were released I poured over the transcripts. While interesting, many of the witnesses were telling stories they’d heard second-hand. None of the prosecution witnesses had a clear look at who shot Pac. One witness Devonta Lee claimed another gangster called Big Dre took the shot – not Orlando. Maybe things weren’t as clear-cut as I first thought.

Keefe was then arrested on September 30, 2023 at his home. Bodycam footage we obtained from the scene showed Keefe bragging to cops even as he was handcuffed in the back of a police car – telling officers he was involved in the “biggest case in Las Vegas history”.

Following Keefe’s multiple appearances in court, he seems to have lost much of that bravado and now cuts a sad, lonely figure.

Suffering from various health problems as a result of cancer, he’s struggling to cope with the brutalities of jail life and can’t get together enough money to afford his bail. He feels some of his old Southside Crip associates – men he handed wads of cash to in his glory days, have just abandoned him.

Keefe is now desperate to get out of jail, and his defense stems is leaning on his claim that he completely made up his involvement in the Tupac murder for fame and money. He saw other people cashing in on the murder so he thought he would too. He reckons his confessions to police were all lies – he made it up because he was under a plea deal and thought it would help him beat his other charges. 

And, according to his lawyer Carl Arnold, he wasn’t even in Las Vegas on the night of the shooting. Arnold remains convinced he will see his client walk free and their secret weapon could be former Death Row Records boss Suge. 

As the only other person still alive from either car, Suge, currently in prison for a fatal hit and run, would be a key witness. Suge is the only person still alive who knows what went down – he saw the shooter. While he’s said he won’t testify at the November trial, Suge has claimed in a TMZ interview from prison that Orlando was not the shooter, which again throws into doubt Keefe’s version of events. 

Keefe and his lawyer are hoping they might be able to change his mind and persuade him to testify for the defense. And Suge holds the power to blow the prosecution’s case apart.

And if Keefe walks free, will there ever be justice for Pac? 

“I told his mother, ‘Moms, I’d love to, but if I hit that, I’ll get in trouble,'” He told People, contradicting Afeni’s statement from 2011.

“I was probably the only one who didn’t hit him.”

The 1996 Las Vegas shooting shocked the world after Tupac was shot multiple times in the passenger seat of the car Knight was driving.

The rap star died days later.

In 1995, just a year earlier, Knight bailed Tupac out of prison while he was serving time on sexual assault charges and signed him to Death Row Records.

“Tupac is my favorite person in the world. It was a part of me that changed my life forever,” he said to the outlet.

“He didn’t have to die. A part of me died when he died.”

Conspiracies swirled after his death, ranging from Sean “Diddy” Combs being responsible to Knight himself.

But new details on the former cold case emerged in 2023, when former Crips leader Duane “Keefe D” Davis was arrested and charged with Tupac’s death.

Davis will stand trial in February 2026.
