Suge Knight Reveals Tupac Ashes Smoked in Post-Death Ritual

Suge Knight, former Death Row Records CEO and passenger in the car when Tupac Shakur was fatally shot in 1996, revealed that shortly after Tupac's death, his ashes were rolled into a blunt and smoked by his friends in a symbolic ritual. This cremation was ordered immediately by Tupac's mother, Afeni Shakur, and Knight claimed to have paid over $1 million in cash to expedite the process. Knight, currently serving a prison sentence for a 2015 hit-and-run, described the ritual as a way to keep a part of Tupac, noting he himself did not participate due to being on probation. The shooting occurred after attending a Mike Tyson fight in Las Vegas, with Tupac struck four times and dying six days later despite emergency surgeries. Knight also recalled the chaotic moments after the shooting, including his own injury and attempts to assist Tupac. The unusual posthumous ceremony adds to the long-standing intrigue surrounding Tupac's death, which remains a subject of speculation and legal developments, including charges against a suspect in 2023.
