Tupac Shakur talked about faking his own death weeks before he passed away, claims record label executive Suge Knight

In an interview for Showtime documentary 'American Dream/American Knightmare', Knight claims that Tupac discussed staging own death and might have dropped hints in a music video.
UPDATED DEC 23, 2018

The mystery that surrounds the death of Tupac Shakur is one of modern music’s most enduring myths. Since vanishing from the public eye in a hail of drive-by gunfire on September 13, 1996, fans have doubted the validity of Tupac’s supposed demise at every opportunity. Whether it’s an FBI cover-up, or a self-made attempt by Tupac to leave the limelight, there are a plethora of rumors and conspiracy theories surrounding the rap icon's demise.

Now, Suge Knight, the co-founder and ex-CEO of Death Row Records (to which Tupac was signed) has added to the enigma of the rap legend by admitting that the rapper spoke about faking his own death and might have dropped hints about it in a music video as well. 

Currently serving a 28-year prison sentence for voluntary manslaughter, Suge gave an interview for the new Showtime documentary 'American Dream/American Knightmare', where he spoke about the weeks before Tupac's death in September 1996.
