‘He didn’t have to die’: Tupac Shakur ‘begged’ to be killed and his mother allegedly ensured his wish was fulfilled

Nearly 30 years after rapper Tupac Shakur was gunned down in Las Vegas, new shocking claims have emerged about his final days. Marion “Suge” Knight, the former Death Row Records CEO who was with Tupac when he was shot, has made explosive revelations about what happened at the hospital before the rapper’s death.

Knight, who is currently serving 28 years in prison for a fatal hit-and-run, spoke from California’s Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility.

Knight claims that Tupac allegedly begged to be killed while lying in his hospital bed, fearing he would be sent back to prison.
