Random Conspiracy Theories About Murder Of Tupac Shaku (11 items)

  (#1) Marion "Suge" Knight Put Out A Hit On Tupac Over Money

  A 2002 documentary called Biggie & Tupac presented some interesting theories about Shakur's passing, including one that Knight ordered a hit on his superstar artist with whom he was having some monetary disputes. It claimed Shakur was planning to split from Death Row, and in retaliation, Knight wanted him taken out. Knight then had Biggie taken out in order to take suspicion off of himself for Shakur's case. Interestingly, Knight reportedly owned (or just took) Tupac's money.

  Corroborating this suggestion was the late Jerry Heller, the controversial former manager of pioneering West Coast rap group N.W.A. Before his expiration, Heller claimed Knight “unquestionably put the hit out" on Shakur. Knight, who was riding beside Shakur in the car when the rapper was shot, allegedly pulled his friend in front of himself as a shield.

  (#9) The FBI Or CIA Terminated Tupac In A Mission To Eliminate Rappers

  During the 1990s, the FBI or CIA allegedly had a secret covert operation to eliminate black musicians, specifically those who were considered "socially conscious" artists pushing for police and government reform. They allegedly offed some of hip-hop's biggest stars, including Biggie and Shakur. 

  While the plot is a bit farfetched, it is true the FBI did closely monitor Tupac's mother, former Black Panther Afeni Shakur.

  (#4) The Right-Wing Jewish Defense League Was Influencing Tupac

  Before Shakur's end, he was allegedly being forcibly influenced by an extremist group called the Jewish Defense League (JDL), a right-wing organization that identified as a domestic terrorist group. The JDL allegedly blackmailed him for money (or said Shakur was in danger) then offer him protection in exchange for cash.  

  Did they have something to do with his passing? It's unknown. But Shakur wasn't the only artist threatened by the JDL. The FBI also mentioned N.W.A.'s Eazy-E as one of the group's targets.

  (#3) They Found The Fatal Tool Used, But The Feds Destroyed It For Suspicious Reasons

  Adding fuel to the conspiracy theory fire, a 2017 docu-series revealed the fatal tool used in the Shakur case was discovered in a Compton backyard in 1998. The now-defunct Compton Police Department took the gun into evidence and handed it over to the LAPD after the department was dissolved. 

  In 2006, a deputy working on The Notorious B.I.G case discovered that the property where the evidence was found belonged to a girlfriend of a Crip gang member. 

  But the piece of evidence was never handed over to the Las Vegas Police Department. Why? According to documents obtained by the documentary crew, a federal prosecutor was worried it might alert potential conspirators. Very strange indeed.

  (#10) The Notorious B.I.G. Ordered His Rival's End

  Before his passing, the rivalry between Shakur and Biggie, who was taken out on March 9, 1997, also in a drive-by shooting, had escalated to fever pitch. Some have suggested the tension between them (which started when Tupac was shot years earlier and suspected the Bad Boy camp) resulted in Biggie ordering Shakur's end. The evidence to support this theory?

  The Crips, who wear blue, have long been linked to Shakur's elimination, and Biggie rapped about his close ties to that gang. Somehow, Biggie slipped into Vegas, paid the Crips a bucketload to end Shakur, and left without anyone noticing he had been there. Rumor also has it that Biggie or Diddy hired the Crips to off Tupac and/or protect the Bad Boy camp, then reneged on payment. As a result, the Crips allegedly took out Biggie, but that's a whole other story.

  (#6) Sean "P. Diddy" Combs Wanted Tupac Gone To Protect Himself

  Some accused Sean "P. Diddy" Combs as the man behind Shakur's passing. Combs has always denied the allegations, but former LAPD cop Greg Kading said Diddy paid Crips gang member Duane Keith "Keffe D" Davis $1 million to off his arch-rivals, Knight and Shakur. The shooter was allegedly Keffe D's nephew, Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, who coincidentally got into a fight with Shakur hours before his end.

  Why would Diddy want the Death Row team gone? In 1995, an associate of Knight's, "Big Jake" Robles, was fatally shot. Knight believed Diddy and his crew were responsible, and he wanted revenge. Allegedly afraid for his own safety, Combs was said to have hired men to take out Knight and Shakur to protect himself. Combs has denied there is any truth to these theories.
