It"s been over 20 years since the murder of Tupac Shakur stunned the music world and left millions of fans in mourning.
The murder remains unsolved, and Tupac"s music is still celebrated globally, so perhaps it should come as no surprise that like Elvis before him, the rapper"s life and death still inspire endless conspiracy theories from his legion of obsessed fans.
Rumors that Tupac is still alive (usually with a grainy selfie for evidence) seem to surface about once a month, but even those who are willing to concede that the hip hop icon is actually dead are not immune to elaborate theories about his passing:
Some say "Pac faked his own murder, only to be killed shortly thereafter in some sort of freak accident.
Others (such as 50 Cent) insist that Diddy paid to have Tupac killed in an effort to settle the East Coast-West Coast hip hop feuds.
(For the record: Fiddy"s Diddy theory has zero evidence to back it up. Dude is basically the Trump of Tupac murder accusations.)
But for all of the theories that have come and gone over the decades, one that has remained in circulation pretty much non-stop holds that Sharitha Golden – the wife of former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight – is responsible to Tupac"s death.
Some maintain that Golden actually pulled the trigger, while most espouse the far more likely (but still completely unfounded) theory that she paid to have the job done.
These days, Suge is behind bars and there"s a good chance he"ll remain there for life, which may be why Golden is finally speaking out in her own defense.
Check out what she had to say in the clip below:
