Suge Knight Claims Tupac's Ashes Were Smoked by Friends

New claims have emerged about the final wishes of rapper Tupac Shakur, detailing how his ashes were smoked by friends and family following his 1996 murder. The revelation comes from Suge Knight, the former Death Row Records co-founder who was in the car with Shakur when he was shot, and coincides with the ongoing murder trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis in Las Vegas.

According to Knight, who spoke to TMZ, Shakur's mother, Afeni Shakur, requested that her son be cremated immediately after his death on September 13, 1996. Knight stated he bribed a funeral director with $1.2 million to expedite the process, which was otherwise expected to take several days. He described arriving at the director's residence with two bags of cash, one containing $200,000 and the other $1 million, and offering both to secure the overnight cremation.

After the cremation was completed, Knight said Afeni Shakur invited him and a group of Tupac's closest friends and family to a hotel room in Las Vegas. There, they rolled the rapper's ashes into blunts and smoked them together. Knight confirmed he did not participate, explaining he was on probation at the time and feared it would be a violation.
