Suge Knight says Tupac begged for death and friends smoked his ashes
Marion 'Suge' Knight, the embattled former CEO of Death Row Records, has come forward with bombshell claims about the death of rapper Tupac Shakur, revealing in a new jailhouse interview that Shakur asked to be killed in the hospital after being shot — and that his friends later smoked his cremated remains. Knight, 60, the only living witness to Shakur's final hours, recounted the chaotic night of Sept. 7, 1996, when their black BMW came under fire in a drive-by shooting near the Las Vegas Strip. After the pair were rushed to the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, Knight said Shakur, fearing prosecution for a gang-related assault earlier that night, begged to be killed. 'Kill me. Shoot me,' Shakur allegedly pleaded, according to Knight's interview with People. Shakur's mother, Afeni Shakur, a former Black Panther, allegedly gave her son pills to ease his suffering, Knight claimed. When doctors attempted to revive him, Knight says she intervened: 'Don't ever do that again ... Let him go.' Shakur was declared dead six days later, on Sept. 13. According to Knight, Afeni insisted on an immediate cremation. He paid $1 million in cash to have it done. That same night, in what Knight described as a symbolic tribute, several of Shakur's close friends allegedly rolled his ashes into a blunt and smoked them. Knight, on probation at the time, says he abstained. Despite a tumultuous music career that spanned just five years, Shakur made an indelible mark on the world of hip-hop. He sold more than 75 million records worldwide, including the diamond-certified album 'All Eyez on Me,' which included the hits 'California Love (Remix),' 'I Ain't Mad at Cha' and 'How Do U Want It.' He also found success as an actor, starring in the films 'Poetic Justice,' 'Juice' and 'Above the Rim.' Although Shakur was born in New York and spent his youth in Baltimore and Marin City, he credited Oakland with launching his music career after he connected with the East Bay rap outfit Digital Underground. In 2023, the Oakland City Council unanimously approved the renaming of a section of MacArthur Boulevard to Tupac Shakur Way in honor of the rapper. In 2016, the city also issued a proclamation naming June 16 as Tupac Shakur Day. 'I give all my love to Oakland, if I'ma claim somewhere I'ma claim Oakland, even if I don't live there,' Shakur said in a 1993 interview. The new revelations come amid renewed scrutiny over Shakur's killing. He has claimed Sean 'Diddy' Combs ordered the hit, an allegation Combs has repeatedly denied and which authorities say has never led to Combs being considered a suspect. Afeni Shakur died at the age of 69 on May 2, 2016. The cause was believed to be cardiac arrest, according to the Marin County Sheriff's Office. Nearly 30 years after the shooting, Knight says he still can't bring himself to listen to Tupac's music. 'It was a part of me that changed my life forever,' he said. 'When Pac died, I saw the whole sky turn a reddish orange.'

Tupac Shakur's Influence In Rap, Movies & Hip Hop Culture
Source: Bob Berg / Getty More than 25 years after his death, Tupac Shakur's fingerprints are still all over today's music. Artists like Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, and even Drake have openly cited Pac as a major influence, not just musically, but philosophically. Pac's raw, introspective storytelling set a standard for vulnerability, honesty, and social awareness in rap. Kendrick's To Pimp a Butterfly and DAMN. feel like spiritual successors to Pac's Me Against the World and All Eyez on Me , tackling racial injustice, inner conflict, and legacy. J. Cole's emotionally driven lyrics and conscious approach to fame echo Pac's vision of an artist as a voice for the voiceless. Even Drake's blend of emotional introspection and mainstream appeal reflects elements of Pac's multifaceted style. Tupac was one of the first rappers to fully break into Hollywood while maintaining street credibility. Pac's iconic roles in Juice , Poetic Justice , and Above the Rim showed his range as an actor and helped pave the way for artists like Ice Cube ( Friday ), 50 Cent ( Power ), and Donald Glover ( Atlanta ). Today, many rappers pursue acting as a natural extension of their brand, a lane Tupac helped clear. His belief in expressing truth through multiple mediums made him a cultural figure beyond just music—a blueprint for the modern multi-hyphenate entertainer. Source: Mychal Watts / Getty Tupac's impact reaches far beyond the studio and the screen. He became a symbol of resilience, complexity, and rebellion. His 'Thug Life' mantra wasn't about glorifying crime—it was about survival in a system rigged against the poor and oppressed. His fearless approach to speaking truth to power still inspires artists and fans alike. As noted in a New York Times retrospective, Tupac embodied the contradictions of the American dream—hope, anger, ambition, and tragedy. Even on Reddit, fans across generations passionately debate his legacy, proving how deeply he continues to resonate. Whether through lyrics, activism, fashion, or art, Tupac's influence on hip hop is permanent. He helped shape what it means to be an artist with something real to say. How much do you think hip hop would be different without Pac's influence? SEE ALSO Black America Web Featured Video CLOSE
