  (#8) Tupac Beat Up Gangster Orlando Anderson, Who Got His Revenge

  The night he was shot, Shakur was in Las Vegas attending a boxing match at the MGM Grand. In the hotel lobby, he was involved in a run-in with Crip member Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson. Knight also got in on the action. Death Row was associated with the Crips' arch-rivals, the Bloods. 

  As the story goes, Anderson ended Shakur later in the night as payback for the beating in the lobby. Not surprisingly, 18 months later, Orlando himself was slain in a gang shootout.

  (#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.

  (#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.

  (#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.

  (#2) Tupac Faked His Own Passing And Is In Hiding

  One of the most popular theories about Shakur's passing is that he isn't actually gone at all. In fact, some believe he's really alive, hiding out in luxurious locations all over the world. Why? Shakur assumed the moniker "Makaveli," a reference to the Renaissance philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli, who supposedly suggested faking a passing in order to evade enemies. Some claimed "Makaveli" was an anagram for “Am Alive K."

  The sleeve copy of Shakur's final album, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, which was released posthumously, contained the sentence "Exit 2Pac, Enter Makaveli,” suggesting rebirth under a new name. There have been Shakur "sightings" all over the world, in which people claim to have seen the artists (or lookalikes), and he is reportedly frequently seen in the Caribbean. In 2018, a man named Michael Nice said he was part of the security team that helped Shakur escape Las Vegas, first to Barbados and then to Cuba in the aftermath of his "alleged" shooting. Nice previously had told media, "Why [do] you think nobody [has] been arrested if they said they [are] the one[s] that killed Tupac?" Nice reportedly passed in December 2018.

  (#7) Suge Knight's Bodyguard And Ex-Wife Offed 'Pac

  Suge Knight once indicated his ex-wife Sharitha Golden and his former head of security Reggie Wright Jr. could be behind Tupac's expiration. Apparently, the pair was actually trying to take out Knight but got Shakur instead. This was just one of the many attempts on Knight's life, the record boss claimed. 

  Why would Golden do this? Former LAPD cop Russell Poole noted she and Knihgt were still technically married at the time of Shakur's passing, so, if Knight passed, she'd inherit his money and control of profitable Death Row. Wright has denied the allegations, and Golden told TMZ, "When Tupac died, what did Death Row become after that? Zero. Nothing. A downfall.”
