This will be written with a particular focus on Tupac’s autopsy though it will extend to other theories and of course some of the lies which have been told by officers from the Las Vegas metropolitan police department.
Will be 16,000 words.
I wrote it for the 29th anniversary of the shooting in Las Vegas and of course the trial next year in February.
On February 19, 2025, Clark County Judge Carli Kierny postponed Keffe D’s trial until Feb 2026.
New developments in the case were discovered according to Keffe D’s defense team at the time which included witness information that Tupac was in a stable condition post his Las Vegas shooting.
“Defense attorneys also are raising questions about the manner of Shakur’s death, saying they have witness information indicating that he was in stable condition after the shooting and died suddenly after being hospitalized for a week. They want to consult medical and forensic experts to evaluate potential alternative causes of death”.

So, a new date was set for Keffe D’s trial February 2026.
In 2021, reporter and journalist Lena Nozizwe did a podcast with retired Las Vegas homicide detective Brent Becker.
Brent Becker was assigned to solve Tupac’s shooting in 1996. Becker was part of a 3-man team led by Sgt. Kevin Manning and detective Mike Franks to solve Tupac’s shooting. All 3 were present during Tupac’s autopsy. Due to their role as the investigators assigned to Tupac’s homicide, all 3 were present during Tupac’s autopsy.
Brent in 2021 recalls and discusses Tupac’s autopsy with reporter and journalist Lena Nozizwe in her podcast, “Tupac’s murder was his case”. In episode 3, titled “autopsy” Brent discusses Tupac’s autopsy.
Brent at the 12:20 to 13:20 min mark, “It is highly unusual to do a nighttime autopsy. There was nothing normal about how everything transpired. By the way I understand it they secretly got (Tupac)him out of the hospital to the coroner’s office. Again…I’ve never done a nighttime autopsy. Normally someone passing away at 4pm in the afternoon would do the autopsy the next day. They do autopsies on Saturdays, but they would never do it in the evening”.
Ep 2: The Autopsy • Lena Nozizwe Reporting: Tupac's Murder Was His Case
Tupac was allegedly autopsied immediately following his death. Within a few hours. We will get into why there was such a rush to “autopsy” Tupac soon and how this is linked to the theory he survived. Tupac died at 4:03 PM on September 13th of 1996 and a few hours later, his “autopsy” was conducted. This according to Becker was not normal standard Clark County coroners’ office procedure.
The Tupac alive community for a sustained period now has believed or promoted the idea that Tupac had a double body and this is how he managed to fake his death. We will also get into why this theory exists in a minute and work around other issues that are tied to Tupac’s autopsy that need to be discussed.
Brent Becker in the first episode titled “prelude” at the 18 min mark of the same podcast shares with host and reporter Lena Nozizwe that during his career in homicide he covered at least 140 homicides. We can conclude from Brent’s words that from 140 autopsies he was present at…only Tupac’s was done in the evening.
Becker also confirmed in the autopsy episode that it was Tupac’s body at the coroner’s office. In response to being asked at the (25:40 min mark to 26:30) as to what was used to possibly identify Tupac such as blood and if there was a purpose in doing so as the victim (Tupac) was widely known, Becker responded with, “We knew who he was. Theres absolutely no doubt whose body was at the coroner’s office. It was Tupac Shakur. No body was switched”.
Retired Sgt Kevin Manning also present during Tupac’s “autopsy” testified under oath during the grand jury in 2023 and to Clark County district attorney Marc DiGiacomo. that it was Tupac’s body at the coroner’s office. We’ll also get into more of Kevin Manning later.
The idea that there was a potential body switch potentially stems from two areas. One is a theory online called the “No grapes theory” which has been around on the internet for over two decades now. In 2020, filmmaker Rick Boss was filming a documentary (never ended up being released) which he said was based “inside information” that he received from Tupac’s family given that his family had connections to the Black Panther Party. Boss claims that Tupac got word that there was a threat to his life and Tupac then placed a double body in his car and Tupac made his escape.
2Pac: The Great Escape from UMC - YouTube
This theory is also potentially linked to witness Paige Hemmis who said Tupac was taken away into a helicopter after he was shot. Paige responded to this a long time ago in a tweet from memory and she said it was an ambulance. There was no helicopter that took Tupac away. She confirmed this a long time ago and I saw her say it was an ambulance and not a helicopter. She made an error it is still believed by many that there was a helicopter.
And of course, we’ve got the theories about Tupac’s moustache appearing bigger to some in different pictures taken on the night of the Las Vegas shooting and alleged sightings of Tupac “double bodies” also present at the MGM on the same night. Chris Carroll the bicycle cop first at the scene of the Las Vegas shooting has said over the years that Tupac’s last words to him were “**** you” when asked who shot him. Despite this Caroll has made joking remarks before that if he was offered money, he would’ve taken part in a “body switch” conspiracy. These have only ignited the theories that there is something amiss with the story that has been told and accepted as official.
In regards to the potential conspiracy author Cathy Scott in her book, the killing of Tupac Shakur shares this, “First, for Tupac to have faked his death, he would have to have the cooperation of not only his family, friends, and associates ; but of the Clark County Sherrif, The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s patrol, traffic, bike cops, general assignment detectives and homicide detectives, criminalist investigators, lab technicians, dispatchers and public affairs officer ; Nevada Highway Patrol troopers and dispatchers ; Mercy Ambulance paramedics and dispatchers ; Clark County Fire department firefighters, paramedics, and dispatchers ; University Medical Centre nurses, doctors, and administrators; the Clark County Coroner and his entire staff of examiners, technicians, and clerks; not to mention reporters and photographers who were the scene shortly after the shooting. In other words, it would take a conspiracy of epic proportions”.
This is mostly all incorrect as it’s based on Tupac being able to fake his death if he planned everything. Not that it could’ve been done spontaneously as he was recovering. Cathy for her own or other reasons puts it in for a shock effect. Tupac doing it spontaneously as he lay recovering in UMC makes conspiracy probable.
Tupac’s aunt Glo Cox in the dear mama series released in 2023 here discusses how Tupac wanted to disappear before going to prison in 1994. His words were to his family, “Tell Mutulu one of us got away”. This is connected to figures in Tupac’s family/Black Panther background who attempted or successfully evaded Law enforcement including Assata Shakur who escaped a NJ Prison in the 1970s and has been living in Cuba since.

In 2018, the documentary American Dream/American Knightmare was released which itself was recorded in 2011/2012. In it, Suge Knight discusses how on a trip to Hawaii, Tupac was discussing how he wanted to fake his death. Quotes here.
"We was in Maui, you know what I mean, and Pac had, like, never been to Maui. And he got to talking about faking his own death," said Suge. "And Pac was more down for doing, like, the last little videos and shit of him dying all in the white, you know what I'm saying."
Suge Knight Recalls Tupac Wanting To Stage His Own Death Weeks Before Murder
The music video Suge Knight is referring to is the I Aint Mad at Cha video which was recorded in May of 1996. Four months before Tupac’s death in Las Vegas.
This was also the first time publicly the idea that Tupac and faking his death was linked to Hawaii.
Wait……. was it?
In the late 90s/early 2000s, Hussein Fatal in an interview says two interesting things at two different times in the interview. Quotes attached. Also link below.
With all the heat surrounding Tupac, did that affect the last album you dropped?
Hell, yeah. It affect my album. I don't know the whole shit on how it affected it. Everybody knows what's going on, politics is politics. Everybody knows who controls New York, who controls the radio. (Everybody knows) who's funny, who's twisted, who's gay and shit. If I had it like (those in power), I would control it too. Ain't nothing wrong with that, but I got to show them that PAC s shit ain't never gonna die. I gotta be strong. The mainstream to me ain't really nothing. As long as I got the streets, mu****as can't shut me down 'cause these fellows ( points to his crew) gonna be here. Other fellows is losing they job, hiding in Hawaii or staying home. **** that staying home.
In the same interview Hussein also says this.
Are The Outlawz still together?
No doubt. PAC's mind was too strong to let fellows break up. He bonded fellows. I wasn't no little mutha****a, I was on the front line. I just recognize mad, mad, mad rappers is ******s. I'll tell a mutha****a that in the studio. But that fellow PAC? He keeps away from the streets because your friends will kill you. That's probably my only weakness, 'cause I love my fellows.

This interview was recorded after Tupac had died. Recorded in late 90s or early 00s. In a separate interview a decade later in 2010 with Young Noble and Edi also present, Hussein attempts to talk over Young Noble and refers to Tupac being at home…with his words, “He the reason Pac at home…”. An emotional Hussein is claiming Tupac is at home and FunkMaster Flex is the cause of Tupac living in isolation. This interview was in response to FunkMaster Flex in late 2010 going on a anti Tupac and pro Biggie rant on stage. A min later in the very interview, Hussein also says, “Nobody is saying you got to like anybody, but you will respect it. And you won’t be everywhere talking about it (Tupac/Biggie beef) like you think somebody (Tupac) has been dead for all this time and they aint got nobody”.
Hussein in a 2010 interview a) confirms Tupac is alive b) Funkmaster is the cause or part of the cause Tupac is alive in isolation. He confirms this with Edi Mean and Young Noble also present in the same interview, and they do not attempt to correct him.
1:15 min mark & 2:30 min mark.
2Pac's Outlawz Members Speak Out Against Funk Master Flex - YouTube
Hussein also uses the same words in 2010 with direct reference to Tupac as he did in the late 90s/early 00s in the above interview a decade prior to the audio recorded one in late 2010. Those being, “Other fellows are hiding in Hawaii or staying home” and in 2010, “He the reason Pac at home”. We also know Suge in 2012 shared that during a trip to Hawaii in 1996, Tupac started to talk about faking his death.
As for Funkmaster Flex being the cause or part of the cause tied to Tupac’s death in Las Vegas most would agree that the events that transpired in Las Vegas were connected to the shooting at Quad’s studio in NY in November 1994. Edi and Young Noble post Husseins own death in 2015 (7 years after the first interview in 2010) were interviewed by DJ Vlad and at the 3:00 min mark Vlad reshares the claim that Tupac shot himself which is the very thing Funkmaster flex was claiming. Edi in response denied this being he was around Tupac at the time. Young Noble then chimes in with, “How does Flex know? Were his boys there who did the shit?”. Edi quickly shoulder nudges Young Noble to stop him from saying anything further.
3:00 to 4:05 min mark.

If Hussein was lying, why do the other Outlawz members indirectly confirm what he said in the above interview about Funkmaster Flex years later and post Hussein’s own passing?
Regardless and more importantly we can see through their comments that if Tupac were to fake his death, then it is more than possible, he was able to do it spontaneously as he lay recovering in the UMC hospital. By it being done spontaneously it did not need to involve double bodies or a list of organizations that Cathy Scott seems to claim in her book.
If he thought about it enough to the point people believe he managed to stage it with “double bodies” then he also would’ve been able to do it spontaneously in the hospital without direct preplanning.
Tupac, according to both Suge Knight and Hussein Fatal, had Hawaii in mind as either a location to move too or it drew on and inspired his thoughts of disappearing due to the islands it possesses.
Brent Becker in the autopsy interview stated that only one doctor from UMC trauma was involved in a potential conspiracy when it came to Tupac’s death. Brent does not mention all those other individuals and organizations that Cathy Scott mentions in her book.
In Cathy Scott’s own book, the killing of Tupac Shakur… Ron Flud the senior coroner at the Clark County Coroners office and who was Tupac’s coroner said this in regard to him being involved in a potential conspiracy, “at a typical autopsy the people normally in the room are the pathologist, forensic technician, crime scene analyst, and the detectives assigned to the case. Look at the number of people who would need to be involved in this to say there was a conspiracy”.
His words are almost identical to the words Brent said in 2021. Brent and Ron Flud do not mention all these other individuals from the crime scene, nurses, to administrators to multiple doctors etc. that those who would not be involved like Cathy Scott seem to think would need to be involved.
In 2021, Brent Becker in the autopsy interview at 50 min mark to defend the idea there was a conspiracy said, “I saw him, and he was dead. Mike Franks saw him, and he was dead. Kevin Manning saw him, and he was dead. We got all those at the coroner’s office. That doctor from UMC. Why would a doctor…. Do people even know how many people would be involved in such a conspiracy?”
Brent Becker says only one doctor from UMC was involved in a potential conspiracy which goes against what is in Tupac’s coroner’s report which states Tupac’s body was removed from the hospital at 5:15pm an hour after he was declared dead. Tupac’s report also adds that a nurse placed Tupac’s body into a body bag presumably with Clark County coroner examiner Ed Brown. Not only was the time Tupac’s body was removed from UMC trauma filled incorrectly…the coroner’s office also added that a nurse along with Ed Brown (Clark County Coroner examiner) placed Tupac’s body into a body bag.
In late 1996, Frank Alexander Tupac’s bodyguard who witnessed the Las Vegas shooting told bodyguard Micheal Moore that the attending nurse who was present when Tupac died told him in a phone call that as soon as Tupac died, he was removed from the hospital by the doctor who pronounced him dead and taken to the back where the coroners van was waiting. Frank was recording his phone calls at the time due to fears his life was in danger. Frank was not lying at this time, and this was evident by him recording his phone calls. Phone call here. This recording was not released until 2017. Coincidentally or not, Frank himself was present at UMC hospital on September 13th, 1996, but was told to leave to go to a meeting at Suge Knight’s home and then an hour later Tupac was pronounced dead.
Frank Alexander Details How Quick Tupac's Body Was Removed From UMC Hospital - Frank Tapes #4 - YouTube
Tupac’s official coroner’s report states that Tupac was pronounced dead at 4:03PM by Dr James Lovett. Tupac’s mother Afeni Shakur identified her son’s body at 5:00pm in his hospital bed. These are all details from Tupac’s official coroner’s report.
We can see that there are conflicting reports. Both cannot be true. If Tupac’s body was removed immediately after he was pronounced “dead” which it was then the coroner’s report contains incorrect information which was written purposely to deceive.
The doctor who pronounced Tupac dead is named Dr James Lovett. According to this article, Mr. Lovett in 2013 was suspended for conducting patient surgeries without patient consent.
kxly.com/news/local-news/vamc-surgery-chief-suspended-under-investigation-for-misconduct/article_2b9d672f-4655-5c86-a666-efc6f7fac096.html
So why was Tupac’s body removed so quickly from UMC and why was there such a rush to autopsy Tupac so quickly?
Tupac’s body was removed immediately from UMC trauma after he was pronounced dead because he was still alive. So, his body needed to be removed from the hospital and to the coroner’s office away from view from any potential witnesses including other medical staff.
In September of 1997, Cathy Scott released her book the killing of Tupac Shakur. Included in the book is a post procedure picture of Tupac at the coroner’s office. Immediately after the release of the image those who were familiar with Tupac noted a few odd issues with the image. The first one was that Tupac’s Makaveli tattoo on his neck was not sighted. Also, Tupac was positioned in a way that was identical to how he was positioned in the ending of California Love video. This recording was before Tupac had gotten his Makaveli neck tattoo.
Still the connection was clear and was made. Unfortunately, Tupac’s Makaveli tattoo is there. It just cannot be seen in the image due to lighting.
However, this does not disprove the theory that he survived. It light of Beckers statement and Franks phone call, Tupac being at the coroner’s office still strengthens the theories that he did survive. Tupac, not knowing images of him at the coroner’s office would be released positioned and posed in a way that was familiar to him and of course those involved such as Becker foolishly released the image, believing it would end the theories, he was alive.
The image was released to stop the rumors he survived. It instead drew more suspicion that he did survive.
The image drew so much controversy that Robert Jordan present during Tupac’s autopsy was asked in a documentary/tv show about the image and whether it could or was fake in 2003 by dutch journalist Katja Schuurman.
Tupac Death Or Alive? 'Autopsy Interview with the Coroner' - YouTube
It should be noted that the image online and, in this video, appears more graphic than it is. The image in Cathy Scott’s book in its original form does not appear graphic. Just edited. Tupac’s face appears normal. He was after all “sleeping” when that image was taken. If one looks at it in its original form in Cathy’s book and from a distance and does not zoom in, Tupac’s “present” face will be faintly visible.
The autopsy or “autopsy” was completed immediately because after someone dies, there are changes that take place with the body. And since, Tupac was not actually deceased, the “autopsy” of his needed to be immediate and it could not have been left to the next day like other victims who were deceased.
A person appearing to be asleep can appear as though they are deceased. Add in a coroner’s office background, table and normal autopsy “procedure” it can and has fooled the eyes of many. It continues to do so.
Tupac’s face is turned away for a reason and it is because when the images were taken, he was alive.
Tupac himself made a potential reference to his Las Vegas death in the song, Ballad of a dead soulja
“Completely lost, revenge at all costs
Payback's a bitch, switched now the trick's crossed
Tossed up and never to be heard of
A single witness screamin', "Bloody murder, murder!"
Blast, tell me, homie, what you see now?
A blind man and a dead body, I'm ready to leave town
And get my cash though, hook up with Castro”.
2Pac – Ballad of a Dead Soulja Lyrics | Genius Lyrics
For many this is regular story telling. To some it is not. This is also a death row song. Or a song recorded post 1996. If Tupac recorded it in 1996 then he had thoughts and ideas where he wanted to leave or…it was recorded post 1996 which proves he survived. Either way, it only strengthens the theories he survived and not that he did die.
Tossed up and never to be heard of? Tupac’s last recorded music video was Toss it up recorded on September 6th, 1996. Coincidence?
Both Lena Nozizwe and Brent Becker from the 53:00 to 56:30 min in the autopsy episode share a dialogue about Tupac fans believing he staged his death in advance due to songs heard on the Makaveli Album. There are no songs on the Makaveli album which fans generally believed linked to Tupac being alive. The title/name of the album is the potential link and not any song. The music that many believe points to him being alive comes after.
Brent states that Tupac recorded a lot of music before his death, and this is the reason for the large volume of music that was released post his death. He even turns to Suge Knight to confirm this fact.
This will be discussed in detail further below whether there are any hints Tupac recorded music post 1996 and well go over Suge’s comments and beliefs since Mr. Becker references Suge Knight on this very issue.
As for the image itself, Brent Becker discusses it in this 2007 video shared below. Brent says, “the image was not included in our case file of images we took during the autopsy”. The LVMPD during autopsies would only take images of the deceased victim’s body that was relevant to the investigation itself such as wounds for example. The LVMPD did not take images of a deceased victim’s body post an autopsy procedure as this was not relevant to the investigation. Sgt. Kevin Manning also mentioned this during the grand jury in 2023 that the images taken of Tupac at the coroner’s office were images of his body before any “procedure”.
So, this is another reason Tupac’s “autopsy” image was leaked. It had to be an image not tied to the standard practice that either the Las Vegas Police or Clark County Coroners’ office did NOT take during the autopsy.
Images taken during the autopsy are usually of wounds not images during/post the autopsy.
Those involved including Becker also knew Tupac was only posing in his “autopsy” and as such, a decision was made to edit an image of Tupac posing at the coroner’s office and releasing it with graphic Y incision cuts.
Then the “chaos” and “mess” that came with that image was created. Clark County coroner at the time Ron Flud opened an investigation into how a post procedure picture of Tupac was leaked to the media. However, Ron himself admitted in Cathy’s book that the decision was made to autopsy Tupac quickly was due to security concerns as fans and others had made their way over to the coroner’s office.
Ron also claimed in Cathy’s book that they were protective of who was going to be in the room during Tupac’s autopsy as there were requests from other professional personnel who wanted to be present during the autopsy, “The body was evidence at this point. The only reason anyone other than those who needed to be involved in the room would be if the body needed to be identified and Afeni already identified Tupac. We were very protective of who was going to be in the room and only those who needed to be in there were allowed to be in there’. Not a verbatim quote from Flud in Cathy’s book but close enough.
Still not only was Tupac’s body removed from the hospital seconds after he was pronounced dead, but his autopsy was also handed in a specialized way. Yet Ron had to run an investigation in September of 1997 once the edited image of Tupac posing was released in Cathy’s book.
Ron Flud, “We had to remove Tupac’s body from UMC immediately post his “passing”. We also had to autopsy Tupac quickly due to security concerns. We also made sure no one who didn’t need to be in the room was in there and we couldn’t leave Tupac’s body overnight here because his fans will break in and look at his corpse.”
Also, Ron Flud, “I need to open an “investigation” into how a post procedure picture of Tupac is now in the hands of a reporter”.

Metro closes probe into leaked Shakur photo - Las Vegas Sun News
Brent Becker present during Tupac’s autopsy was asked about the image (same video reference as above/linked below) released in Cathy’s book by RJ Bond and Frank Alexander shared this about the image in 2007, “The photo that was released I don’t know how she (Cathy Scott) got it. I probably have suspicions”. Link here.
Brent Becker on Cathy Scott's Photo Of Tupac Not An Official Photo - YouTube
Yet in 2021 when interviewed by Lena Nozizwe in the autopsy episode at 35:30 to 36:50 min mark, Brent states that as he and Mike Franks and Kevin Manning were preparing to leave post Tupac’s autopsy, “I saw a general assignment detective and he had a camera in his hand and he walked into the room where Tupac’s body was post an autopsy procedure. So, it wasn’t rocket science to figure out where the image came from”.
If Becker noticed this unnamed “detective” with a “camera” in his hand as he was leaving, wouldn’t Ron Flud who was the senior coroner and Tupac’s coroner also see this unnamed general assignment detective with a camera in his hand?
If so, why did he need to open an investigation?
Was this “investigation” from Mr. Flud run as a diversion to further veil and disguise a conspiracy?
Note how Tupac’s coroner’s report has incorrect information which was placed in there to deceive that Tupac’s body being at the hospital until 5:15pm. We can see the lies continue to come together and after each other. Ron knew who was present during Tupac’s autopsy and post his “autopsy” and would’ve been present post Tupac’s “autopsy” and after Becker, Manning and Franks left and still there when the other “detective” walked in and out, yet he still needed to open an investigation?
Brent Becker either lied in 2007 or in 2021 when recounting his views on the autopsy picture on how and who had given it to Cathy Scott. Either way he is lying. The image was released to stop the rumors Tupac is alive which if Tupac is, then Becker would be involved in the conspiracy.
To further question Brent’s credibility in general and issues relating to Tupac’s alleged autopsy. In the first episode titled prelude, reporter and host Lena Nozizwe recalled her experience when she first walked into the offices of the LVMPD in 1997 to do an interview with Becker and Franks regarding Tupac’s homicide investigation. At the 12:25 to 13:15 min mark of the prelude episode, Lena recalls, “I remember when I called the LVMPD and asked for an interview those 25 years ago. And I remember walking into the office (of the LVMPD) and one of the first things that I saw entering was an image of a convict on an electric chair. And I remember thinking we’re not in Kansas anymore”.
In the autopsy interview at the 49:40 to 50:40 min mark Brent himself shares a story, “I remember getting a phone call from Kansas about a police officer asking to confirm if Tupac is dead or alive”.
Is it a coincidence that just over an hour after host Lena Nozizwe mentioned Kansas that Brent then shares a story about a cop from Kansas calling him? Or did Brent Becker share a fake story?
There are 50 states in the USA but out of all, Kansas was mentioned just over an hour after it was mentioned by the host. Coincidence?
To conclude at the 26:55 to 27:40 min mark of the autopsy episode the issue of a potential body switch is brought up this time by Lena Nozizwe (only a minute after Brent through his own confirmed that there wasn’t without being asked), “When you say that the body couldn’t of been switched at any point is it not in the realm of possibility?” Brent responds with the following, “Well if you believe an alien being came in and zapped that van on the way to the coroner’s office, I guess that could happen. But I’m 100% sure that the body that was at the coroner’s office was Tupac Shakur. And I can tell you that no human being can survive what goes on during an autopsy if they were alive when they got put on that table”.

relude • Lena Nozizwe Reporting: Tupac's Murder Was His Case
Ep 2: The Autopsy - Lena Nozizwe Reporting: Tupac's Murder Was His Case | Podcast on Spotify
Let me repeat that for the second time.
Lena Nozizwe asks if it was not impossible there was a potential body switch at any point and Mr Brent Becker says, “No aliens exist to switch bodies. Impossible. It was Tupac’s body at the coroner’s office. And when he arrived there, he was alive”.
If Tupac did not fake his death and pose for his autopsy images which is what he surely did do, then Brent Becker has confessed to Tupac’s murder.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Brent Becker, “I don’t care if the president of the United States or the Pope of the Catholic Church says he’s not dead. They’re liars or they’re full of shit. Tupac Shakur is dead.”
Also, Brent Becker, “No body was switched it was Tupac Shakur’s body at the coroner’s office. And how, we were sure? Well, he was alive when he got there, and he told us so”.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
‘Did the host Lena Nozizwe ever notice this? Obviously not but time to explain why.
In 2021 when promoting her podcast, host and reporter Lena Nozizwe was interviewed by Jmix/Jesse Surratt. Lena goes over her reasons as to why she did the autopsy episode which she claimed was due to the “enduring belief” that Tupac is alive. So, she turned to Brent Becker who as we know was present at Tupac’s autopsy as I quote her, “That autopsy episode it is going to offend some people because I know there is this enduring belief that Tupac is alive. And Brent Becker was at the autopsy. I know not everyone believes that is the case”.
So anytime anyone claims to be at an event this therefore means they’re always telling the truth? Obviously not but this is what Ms Nozizwe just implied and at the very least it gives us an insight into the skewed mindset she had before, during and after this podcast she did with Brent Becker. She also seems to be caught up too much in other narratives and in general overawed by Brent Becker’s “unique presence” to even realise her guest has confessed to Tupac being alive when he arrived at the coroner’s office for his “autopsy”.
When the alarm bells should’ve been ringing when Brent in response to being asked in the prelude episode why he was willing to do a podcast with her after being silent for 25 years and he and I quote said, “I know what you can do, and I can trust you”.
Nothing in the autopsy interview was “offensive” other than maybe Brent Becker’s repeated incriminating statements which Ms Nozizwe appears to never have noticed.
And as we will see in a few moments she is not the only reporter that is tied to this case that has been lied to by officers from the LVMPD.

In 2018, along came retired Las Vegas Metropolitan detective Phil Ramos. 3-time police man of the year Ramos announced to the world in 2018 that he was also present at Tupac’s autopsy. Here is Ramos in the E investigates special on Tupac’s death in 2018.
Phil Ramos at the 3:00 to 3:10 min mark, “I saw Tupac’s body at the coroner’s office during the autopsy, and he had a whole bunch of bullets in the middle of his chest. He could’ve been shot outside the ER department, and he still wouldn’t have survived”.

Phil says that Tupac had a whole bunch of bullets in the middle of his chest. Phil also says Tupac was never going to survive.
What narrative is Phil trying to share here? Tupac is dead. Nothing else matters. Phil is trying to glorify Tupac’s death and link it to violence.
In 2019, Phil further repeats that he was present at Tupac’s autopsy yet on this occasion when asked how many times Tupac was shot, Phil, “I went to the autopsy, and he was shot three times. Why they kept him alive as long as they did nobody knows”.

In a matter of 12 months, Phil went from, “Tupac had all these bullet holes in the middle of his chest” to, “Tupac was shot three times”.
In 2020, Phil was again interviewed this time by his niece about the Tupac case and investigation.
Phil at 3:35 to 3:45 min mark refers to the fight between Tupac, blood affiliates and Orlando Anderson as men, “Mother****ing each other”.
Phil from the 4:50 to 5:05 min mark says Tupac was shot in the arm, legs and in the lungs. Compare this to Phil’s original comments in 2018 that Tupac had a whole bunch of bullets in the middle of his chest?
Is this guy credible?
Phil then at the 7:50 min mark, “They then took his (Tupac’s) body to the coroner’s office where they did the autopsy the next morning and that’s when we were there”.
Detective Phil Ramos The Tupac investigation - YouTube
Phil states that Tupac’s autopsy took place on the morning of the 14th of September of 1996. 18 or so hours after Tupac was had been pronounced dead.
This is incorrect according to the coroner’s report and of course Brent Beckers statement that Tupac’s autopsy was at night. By the next morning Tupac’s morning was not at the coroner’s office anymore. Coroner Ron Flud according to Cathy Scott as I mentioned earlier in her book did not want to leave Tupac’s body overnight in case fans broke in to catch a glimpse of Tupac’s supposed “dead” corpse. This was also the reason that was given as to why Tupac was autopsied so quickly due to fans “making” their way over to the coroner’s office after Tupac had been pronounced dead at UMC.
Phil Ramos placed himself into the Tupac story for no other reason than he could using his honorary standing as a retired police officer to do so. Phil then used this platform to deceive the public. His motivations? Probably racism. Phil Ramos is so pitiful and feral, he even lies to his niece.
A week after Keffe D was charged with Tupac’s murder, Phil was a special guest on the Youtube channel Surviving the Survivor podcast. Phil was introduced and part of his introduction according to the hosts that he was present at Tupac’s autopsy.
1:00 min mark Phil is introduced as being present at Tupac’s autopsy. 5:00 min mark it is mentioned again Phil being present. At the 51:00 min mark Phil shares his autopsy experience. At the 29:30 min mark to 31:00 Phil also refers to Mike Franks and Brent Becker as being the lead detectives. He also claims both were very competent and alligators in their field. At the 44:45 min mark Phil again shares the common lie that no witnesses were willing to cooperate when it comes to Tupac’s death which we will get into soon.
Note that this interview was recorded in October of 2023. A year after Becker confirmed Ramos was not present at Tupac’s autopsy. Becker confirms this in one of the question episodes in the same podcast referenced in this already. Not that he is needed to confirm such a detail as it always said and has been evident already, liars often expose them in time. Such is the “research” of the guests and hosts of the Surviving the Survivor podcast, no one calls out Ramos for his blatant lies about being present at Tupac’s autopsy.
No other than Cathy Scott was a guest on this episode and she also does not call out Phil for his lies.
Cathy does not check Ramos at all for not actually being present at Tupac’s autopsy…but at the 29:20 min mark she refers to an unnamed police officer from another department as being a poser. Such is her disgust and hatred for Greg Kading (planted the seeds for this case even going to trial) she won’t even say his name. Some say God is not humorous but, in this occasion, he clearly is as Cathy Scott (unknowingly of course) placed an edited image of Tupac posing at the morgue is now accusing others of being posers while being a co-guest with Ramos who fits the description of “poser” no better than any other. When it comes to being duped by posers, Cathy Scott has serious form and is in a league of her own.
But who are we to believe? It has already been established that Brent Becker is a compulsive lying, fake storytelling and self-repeating incriminating doofus. What is Ramos in comparison besides being a racist deceitful pitiful poser?
Ramos was clearly not at Tupac’s autopsy. Nor did he see Tupac’s body at the coroner’s office.
We can conclude that not only is compulsive lying synonymous with members from the LVMPD (Becker and Ramos) from the 90s, sharing fake stories when it comes to Tupac is as well…Becker and Ramos again. Link to Cathy and Phil.
Tupac’s Author & Original Homicide Detective On Arrest - YouTube
As for Cathy’s credibility on the autopsy picture in 1998 she stated that she was given the autopsy picture by a source before she had even thought of writing a book she ended up releasing on the one year anniversary of Tupac’s death.
At what point did you acquire the autopsy photo ?
I’m not exactly sure of the date, but I don’t believe I had even decided to write a book about the case at that point. The photo came to me from a source who trusted me and knew I wouldn’t divulge his/her identity. I immediately put it in a safety deposit box. I could have sold it at a very high price. I chose not to.
Interview with Cathy Scott, author of "The Killing of Tupac Shakur" - HitEmUp.com
Yet in 2019 Cathy stated that she was given the picture by a source because this source knew she was already writing a book. She then decided to put the image in her book because mainstream media were reporting Tupac had faked his death.
It was more important for whatever reason to ensure that the idea Tupac faked his death was crushed in the media. At Whatever cost. Even by those who weren’t involved but were seen by those involved as being useful. Cathy exemplifies the term “useful idiot” to a t.
When asked about the autopsy picture at the 24:25 min mark, “I was writing a book and a source knew that and gave it to me. The decision was made to put it in the because mainstream media were reporting that Tupac had faked his death and the autopsy picture showed that he didn’t”.
Really, Cathy? The image itself only bought rise to more rumours he was alive as Tupac is posing in an identical way as he was in the California Love video.
At the 27:15 min mark Cathy repeats the lie given by the coroner’s office that Tupac’s body was removed from UMC trauma an hour after he was pronounced dead when we know from Frank Alexander’s phone call and Brent Becker’s statement that only one doctor from UMC trauma was involved and Tupac’s body was removed seconds after he died because he was actually still alive and not “dead”.
Who gave Cathy Scott the edited image of Tupac posing at the coroner’s office? When did they give it to her? And why? Cough cough it was Kevin Manning.
Why is Cathy Scott also lying?
To more of Brent Beckers odd comments, in the 2nd investigation episode Brent Becker at the 1:30 to 3:30 min mark, “We copped a lot of heat from Afeni for not doing anything in the investigation I mean if people didn’t think he was dead then I guess they didn’t believe his mother”.
Ep 3 Part 1: The Investigation - Lena Nozizwe Reporting: Tupac's Murder Was His Case | Podcast on Spotify
It should again be noted that when it comes to the topic of Tupac being alive, Brent either says some very odd things, or he remembers some very odd details. First, he shared the fake story of the police officer from Kansas calling him to ask him if Tupac was in fact dead or not. Then he admitted that Tupac was alive when he arrived at the coroner’s office. Now Brent is sharing that Afeni criticizing the Las Vegas police in February of 1997 is evidence that Tupac is in fact dead and not alive without even being asked. Becker freely shares this as a piece of detail he remembers…vividly.
How and again, why would he remember such a detail 25 years later? And how does Afeni criticizing the Las Vegas publicly police prove, “Tupac is actually dead?” And again, why is his first thought to bring up the theories about Tupac being alive which he’d be involved in?
To counter Brent’s claim it can be that if Tupac is alive and Becker was involved then Afeni would’ve known since she “identified” Tupac’s body after he had “died” which then therefore means she’d be involved in the conspiracy and her criticizing the Las Vegas publicly could be a strategic move done to divert attention away from the rumors her son was alive just as Ron Flud opened an investigation into the edited image of Tupac at the coroner’s office when he very well knew who was present. As a diversion as they say, to conceal one lie, you must tell another. Both diversions from first from Afeni and then Ron are to show that those who would be involved/know about the conspiracy are at odds/not on the same page. To create confusion whether intentionally or not.
Becker still is referring to Afeni’s comments from Feb of 1997. Those being.
“Let me put it this way, said Afeni Shakur, the slain rapper’s mother, “When my son was lying in the hospital in the hospital in a medically induced coma, the Las Vegas police went on national television telling everybody that he was not cooperating with their investigation. It was clear to me from Day 1 that the Las Vegas police have never had any interest in solving the case of my son’s murder”.
Police, Shakur's entourage at odds over investigation - Los Angeles Times
Afeni herself said in 2003 to xxlmag that she believes her son’s killer is dead.
Do you have any ideas on who was involved?
Let me say this, it’s very important. You see I’m so basic. I think the person who killed Tupac, I think he’s dead. But beyond that, if I’m wrong and it’s somebody else, I still believe that that person has to carry that. What I know about the criminal justice system in America is that they cannot punish him like God is going to punish him. And I don’t mean when he’s dead. I mean in his everyday life and not just him. Imagine being the grandchild of the person that murdered Tupac. You have condemned your entire family forever. What can the criminal justice system do? Not to mention the fact that the criminal justice system is not very successful at doing criminal justice like that. Many people feel that police caught the person that killed the person and then they get 10 years and they home. I don’t wanna be bothered with none of that. I don’t wanna be off into it. I’ve never cared in that sense. Whoever that person was, I know that person got big problems.

In 2010, Afeni shared that those within the black and hip-hop community were responsible for her son’s death. Afeni at 5:20 to 5:50 min mark, “I want you to remember that my son was murdered by people of his own kind and his own supposedly we all in hip hop whatever. Remember Tupac was murdered by people who should’ve been family”.
Afeni Shakur speaks out about Tupac's DEATH @Kingsmenmedia - YouTube
Yet in 2013, after Frank Alexander died, Afeni personally reached out to Jack the thriller who was the last person to interview Alexander before his death. Afeni according to Jack specifically asked Jack what conspiracy theories if any did Frank share with Jack off the air regarding Tupac’s death?
Jack did not share this until 2020. Link below. Even 7 years later Jack, when sharing, doesn’t appear to comprehend or understand why Afeni called him.
0:10 to 1:10 min mark

Frank’s main beliefs and beliefs he shared in interviews and documentaries were that Suge/Deathrow/Reggie Wright Jnr were responsible for Tupac’s death so we know it can’t be those.
So which other conspiracy theory (besides the blatantly obvious) was Afeni worried that Frank was going to share off camera?
So, the question remains, if Afeni had a) no interest in justice for her son’s murder but was more about preserving his legacy and b) already knew who killed Tupac, why was she concerned what conspiracy theories Frank had potentially told Jack off the air and privately?
What motive would Jack also have for making this up and sharing 7 years later if it wasn’t true?
To the investigation itself. From the beginning, one claim that has been treated as “fact” that has been shared from the LVMPD and others who believe their lies is that witnesses refused to cooperate and this is the main reason the case never went to trial.
In 2020, Reggie Wright Jnr was interviewed by DJ Vlad. Reggie shares that he took Edi to Compton police department to meet with Las Vegas detectives so Edi could identify Orlando Anderson as being Tupac’s shooter. Reggie states that Las Vegas detectives Manning, Becker and Franks instead of showing Edi a photo line-up they picked an argument and fight and Reggie concluded that those in charge at the time did not want to solve Tupac’s death.
Edi himself has been quiet on this issue in interviews however in 2014, Edi was asked if it was true that he was willing to tell Las Vegas pd that he saw Tupac’s shooter but then he refused as this is what has been reported.
In a now deleted tweet which has only been removed due to Edi’s twitter account being hacked as of June 2025, Edi in 2014 said in response to that question, “And I guess the police never lie. Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear”.
I cannot attach the tweet unfortunately as it’s been removed due to Edi’s account being removed but he did say this when asked this question in 2014.
Edi refutes the claim that has been accepted as fact by many. Edi’s tweet in 2014 corroborates the statement made by Reggie Wright Jnr in 2020.

Ep 3 Part 2: The Investigation • Lena Nozizwe Reporting: Tupac's Murder Was His Case
In a 2009 vh1 special on Tupac’s case, Cathy and journalist Randall Sullivan go over the reasons as to why Tupac’s case was never solved. Sullivan claims that LAPD went over to Las Vegas and Las Vegas detectives told them privately, “Look we’ve been told they don’t want us to solve this crime”.
In addition to Sullivans comments, Cathy adds that it would’ve been bad publicity if the case went to trial due to the figures involved in this case those being gang members. Cathy’s closing conclusion is, “I think it goes beyond its bad for tourism. Somebody didn’t want to it to get solved and it didn’t get solved”.
8:55 to 9:30 min mark
Tupac Shakur Famous Crime Scene ORIGINAL FULL 20 min video PART 2
So, which is it? Was politics the cause of Tupac’s case not going to trial in the late 1990s or was it due to witnesses not willing to “cooperate?”.
What kind of message does Las Vegas send that when it comes to gang murders it is ok and that they won’t pursue any case that is tied to gang violence to the course. Is this even true?
Cathy being the closest source to the investigation at the time maintained during this period that the Sgt at the time Kevin Manning would actively ignore calls about the case from the media such was his “enthusiasm” to solve the case which he claimed was treated as any other case. Yet in Cathy’s own book according to her own sources, Cathy stated that Kevin Manning was seen going from news stand to news stand collecting Tupac souvenirs.
So, the question must be asked, if this case was just like any other case why was Kevin Manning collecting Tupac souvenirs?
Despite Cathy’s expertise in journalism and true crime reporting she doesn’t seem to notice or understand the potential implications behind Mr Manning collecting Tupac souvenirs considering the conspiracy of Tupac being alive which he himself would be involved in.
Edi being a witness to Tupac’s shooting in Las Vegas and being incorrectly accused of not wanting to help solve Tupacs death has found other ways to express what happened on the night Tupac was shot in Las Vegas. In the song, Rule of the street released in 2012 Edi shares that Tupac survived the Las Vegas shooting and the impact the shooting it had on himself being a witness at 1:05 to 1:25 min mark
“No time to think on the streets you betta get it and roll
Survival instincts
This life though, birth of a star singing for freedom
Now where your life go
Pitch black pistol sparking to make the night glow
Took a little piece of my heart
But where was God though”

Other members of the Outlawz have also used music to share their feelings/what really happened to Tupac.
In the song Remember me which was released as part of the perfect timing album the Outlawz released in 2011, Hussein Fatal dedicates his entire verse to Tupac.
“Now when your music is the sunshine to somebodies’ life
It’s kind of hard to disappear into the shadows of life
I got a letter from my road dog written in cold blood
He asked me do they remember and I told him there was no love
Remember me how I yell and beat this pain with the pen
This is a letter to my homies you probably never going to see me again”

The song Letter to my Unborn Child was a Deathrow song which means it was recorded in 1996. Either Tupac predicted the future, or it was recorded post 1996 and Hussein knew this.
Kastro another member of the Outlawz in the song Good Die Young released on the Still I rise Album in December of 1999 also uses the same words which Tupac himself used in the song and applies it to Tupac and his Death.

When interviewed about the perfect timing album in 2011, Edi shared that the song remember me is a tribute to Tupac.
Were there any “Dear Pac” letters or tracks dedicated to him?
Being that our work is heavily inspired by Tupac, you get that vibe on every song. Like on “Perfect Timing,” I can almost hear Pac on this track. We got a song on there called “Remember Me” and I think a lot of people, when they hear it it’s going to remind them of a Tupac song. So I’ll point to that one as far as being a somewhat dedication to him or something like that.

In 2017 and post Husseins death, Edi and Young Noble were interviewed by DJVLAD. In response when asked about the environment post Tupacs death and some of the theories that emerged such as Suge Knight being involved. Young Noble adds, “Nah (Suge had nothing to do with Tupac’s death) it’s a dumb theory. They come up with new theories every day. You listen to the theories..Pac’s somewhere…we know where he’s at”.
Young Noble is again checked by Edi with a look and Noble controls himself from laughing.

Suge Knight in both 2012 and 2014 makes a claim to Police knowing Tupac survived and that is why the case never went to trial. Suge believing the cops in charge of Tupac’s investigation purposely stopped the case from being solved.
Suge Knight, 2014, “If you notice we got a rat on television saying he did the shooting this happened. That happened. If you think about it right, why you think nobody been arrested if they said they the ones who killed Tupac? Coz be smart son Tupac not dead”.

Suge also mentions this in the 2012 interview with TMZ on April 20, 2012. If this is a lie, then why does Suge say it on two different occasions two years apart?
Suge Knight Says 2pac Still Alive 2012 Interview - YouTube
Suge adds in in 2012 that, “Nobody has seen Tupac dead”. His comments fit in line with Tupac being alive during his “autopsy” and now that we know that Tupac was removed immediately after he was pronounced “dead” from UMC and as per Beckers statement Tupac was alive when he was placed onto the coroners table, the picture becomes a bit clearer.
Tupac is still alive: rap mogul Suge Knight says – New York Daily News
We’ll go back to Suge near the ending but let’s for the moment use some of Suge’s comments in 2012 to get into the topic of whether Tupac did record songs post 1996 since this was discussed by both Lena Nozizwe and Brent Becker at the end of the autopsy episode. Brent Becker said that the reason for the large volume of music that was released post Tupac’s death is because of how much Tupac recorded in the studio. Brent then sources Suge Knight on this very issue.
So, let’s examine and investigate Suge Knight’s comments on this issue and determine if Brent Becker is being truthful…….(not holding my breath)
Well start with Suge comments those being, “The person who supposedly cremated Tupac his mother wanted it done quickly if he passed…this guy got about 3 million dollars from me cash and next thing I know I never heard from the guy or seen him again he retired and left”. Suge said these words on April 20th, 2012, on his 47th birthday.
A few years prior in 2008 youtuber Anton Batey interviewed author Drah Cenedive. Cenedive wrote a few books in the 2000s on the theories about Tupac being alive a belief he vehemently believed. At the 1:15 min mark Anton queries Drah, “What is the best evidence you have that he is alive?” and Drah responds, “The best evidence I have is his own lyrics and how he speaks in past and present tense”. Anton “refutes” this and shares that Tupac in an interview on Gridlockd said that he treats his albums like movies and that is why he has been so successful in the music industry.
At the 15:30 min mark, Anton Batey also adds, “Alive theorists pick and choose the lyrics they want to believe. Like the part in Ghetto star when Tupac says I heard the fed’s had a warrant for my ass. He is telling a story, and you can tell by the context. Is it literal when he says he’s selling cops marijuana?”.
Is Tupac Alive? Drah Cenedive vs. Anton Batey - altCensored
Here is the interview Anton mentions where Tupac spoke about his lyrics and how he treats them like Movies. Here are his exact words.
“I’ve always been an actor. The reason I’ve been so successful in the rap game is I treat my albums like movies. And I treat writing it like I am a character in a story…for each album whatever I am going through the stages I am going through and I do it vividly with vivid pictures with action and description with a beginning, middle and an end. Conflict. Redemption. I think with my music it is watching someone go through things. My whole career. If James Dean was a rapper it would be me. Because I don’t know you’re not supposed to tell people everything that happens in your life, so I just tell them and that has made me successful if anything”.
4:50 to 7:30 min mark.
Tupac 1996 Gridlock'd Interview FULL (HQ) - YouTube
Those were Tupac’s exact words. One he treats his albums like movies, but they are also about his life and the stages he goes through. He also shares he shares everything that happens in his life in his music. So, Anton in truth was being a hypocrite accusing alive theorists of picking lyrics they like and using them as “evidence” that he is alive when he himself was doing the same thing and he wasn’t quoting Tupac in full.
Why is this key?
Let’s look at the song Ghetto Star released on the Better Dayz album released in November of 2002. The very song Anton brings up that alive theorists are wrong to believe there is a link to Tupac being alive..such as him recording this verse post 1996.
“Evacuate the crime scene fast
Why I heard the Feds had a warrant for my ass
Why, I won't touch down 'til I see Tijuana
Set up shop selling them crooked cops marijuana
Label me a success, I made the switch
Retired from the life that never gave me shit
But cash that I couldn't spend, countless cars
An addict for a wife, my life, as a ghetto star”.
Is this regular creative story telling or is there something more to these lyrics?
In February of 1997 and 5 months after Tupac’s death in Las Vegas, Afeni Shakur was interviewed by Brian Ross of ABC news.
At the 2:10 min mark Afeni, “He absolutely thought he was quite rich and that his family would be rich forever”. 3:20 min mark, “I discovered he had next to zero. The home he thought he had just bought was not his”.
Lawyer Richard Fischbein for Tupac’s estate at 8:00 to 8:30 min mark, “He asked repeatedly for the accountings of the things that he did and of the monies that came in and he never got em. And when he screamed loud enough, I’m told someone would come over and bring a car and say here Tupac, here is a rolls Royce and then when he died it was found out none of it was his”.
ABC Primetime Live: Afeni Shakur & Death Row Records (Feb 5th, 1997) - YouTube
Sounds like some of the lines in the Ghetto Star song, no?
Now we will now go back to 2005. And again, to Suge Knight since Brent Becker sources Suge Knight on this very issue. When asked about the rumours about Tupac being alive Suge said the following, “So people always want to know if Pac dead or is he alive. I’m the wrong person to ask but ill tell you this. If you try to find the person who cremated Tupac after he supposedly cremated, he retired and vanished into the sun. into the sunset. Into the darkness. If you really look at it, could Pac have done all those songs? Mathematically impossible. Do you still see him? Do you still hear him? I’m quite sure you do but once again, I’m not into telling so you’ll never know”,
Suge claims the person who supposedly which means the cremation never happened retired right after it was “done”. Suge means Tupac “cremated” himself and he retired and vanished. In the very next sentence, Suge asks whether Tupac could record all the songs he did, and his conclusion is that it was impossible which is exactly the opposite of what Brent Becker said.
Could Tupac record all the songs that were released after his death before his “actual passing” on September 13th, 1996? Sure. Anything is possible, right?
But did he?
Let’s look at why Suge even said what he said. Suge claims that Tupac retired and then he links Tupac retiring to the songs that came after Tupac’s death to which Suge then concludes Tupac had been recording music post 1996.
10 sec to 1:10 min mark.
Suge Knight reveals that Tupac Shakur “faked his death” - YouTube
Suge Knight on two occasions close to a decade a part states that Tupac retired and left. The key word being “retired”. Both in 2005 and 2012.
Here is the reason why Suge Knight in the first and second (2005 and 2012) clip has used the word “retired” when it came to Tupac’s death and disappearance and how it ties to the very song Ghetto Star being recorded after Afeni and her lawyer’s appearance on ABC news in Feb 1997 which means he survived the Las Vegas shooting.
In 2022, The art of dialogue interviewed Outlawz member Napoleon and Napoleon shared that Tupac would often say sickcess instead of success when it came to the music and entertainment industry. To Tupac it was not “success” but sickcess.
His exact words at 3:00 to 3:30 min mark, “He used to dip and runaway from security. I think one of the ways Pac dealt with celebrity and fame because he used to call is sickcess instead of success. He used to say the fame that came from the entertainment is sickcess. So, I think the way he dealt with it is I have to live as normal as possible”.
Despite Tupac’s status as a mega star, he was still moving and acting as if he was a regular person. Full dialogue 2:00 to 3:30 min mark

In the same interview but another clip, Napoleon again mentions that Tupac would call success….sickcess.
In the opening Art asks Napoleon to go into more detail about Tupac’s unhappiness in the music industry before he died which Napoleon briefly touched on in prior interviews and Napoleon responds, “Well Pac wasn’t happy with the industry like I said he used to call sickcess instead of success”.

On closer listening in the song Ghetto Star released on the Better Days album in November of 2002, Tupac says “sickcess” instead of success. So, the verse is….
““Evacuate the crime scene fast

Tupac himself in his 1995 jail house interview when discussing his music also shared “No matter what these people say about me. My music does not glorify any image. My music is spiritual if you listen to it. It is all about emotion. With other rappers might paint a perfect picture of themselves I tell my innermost darkest secrets. I reveal myself in every one of my records. I tell my own personal problems”.

Tupac Uncensored And Uncut Prison Interview -Reaction - YouTube
Nuttso who was the co-star on the song Ghetto Star did an interview in 2014 with Asher Underwood from TruthaboutTupac and was asked about the rumours Tupac was alive. And here is what he had to say, “We can sort of blame that on Tupac and the lyrical content that he left us. I mean even when I listen to his music I say he really said that. Damn he really said that. Like when you listen to the song Ballad of a dead soulja when he says, a blind man and a dead body I’m ready to leave town. Even in the song I’m on with him how you going to say you retired from a life?”

Sean Cole Nutt-so Outlaw on Tupac FULL LENGTH
Nuttso who himself was around Tupac admits he finds certain Tupac lyrics questionable as do his fans over the years. Nuttso is not asked and does not confirm or deny if Tupac was in the studio when they recorded Ghetto Star. Though common sense would tell us if that was the case, he would’ve just said it since he himself brought it up as lyrics that he like fans found strange.
The Outlawz in 2011 were interviewed by XXLMAG when promoting their perfect timing album which dropped September 13th 2011 and they were asked if there were still any Outlawz/2pac music in the vaults which in time could be released and they confirmed there was. Hussein Fatal added, “Stay tuned…you know Pac’s still making new music”.

Outlawz Live Interview on XXLMag.com [2011] [September 15th] - YouTube
Let’s again for the third time look at the verse in Ghetto star and now piece it all together.
““Evacuate the crime scene fast
Why I heard the Feds had a warrant for my ass
Why, I won't touch down 'til I see Tijuana
Set up shop selling them crooked cops marijuana
Label me a sickcess, I made the switch
Retired from the life that never gave me shit
But cash that I couldn't spend, countless cars
An addict for a wife, my life, as a ghetto star”.
The key line is selling THEM crooked cops’ marijuana. Plural. These crooked cops are introduced into the story but with the way they are brought into the story it is implied that they had already done something for him for him to want to sell them marijuana which of course is obviously NOT literal. He introduces them right after he escapes a crime scene/Feds.
Brent Becker, Mike Franks and Kevin Manning if Tupac survived were all involved in the conspiracy and that is what Tupac is referring to here.
Then we get the “sickcess” line which is in direct reference according to Napoleon to the music and entertainment industry which he then claims he retired from. And of course, the line, “But cash that I couldn’t spend countless cars my life as a Ghetto star.
What did the Estates lawyer say in Feb of 1997??
Richard Fischbein, 1997, “He would ask for money and when he’d scream loud enough, he would be given a car”
Tupac, 2002, “Label me a sickcess I made the switch retired from the life that never gave me shit but cash that I couldn’t spend countless cars my life as a ghetto star”
Suge Knight, 2005 & 2012, “The person who supposedly cremated Tupac this guy retired and left. Could Pac had done all those songs impossible?”
Napoleon, 2022, “Tupac would say sickcess instead of success when it came to the music and entertainment industry”.
This song or at least Tupac’s verses were recorded post 1996. Youtuber Anton Batey claims the fans were wrong to assume this is the case though the song seemed to even “confuse” Suge Knight who knew Tupac and was present with him during the Las Vegas shooting. Author Drah Cenedive, who is no longer presently with us, was right despite being ridiculed with his beliefs he in time was proven right.
And if Tupac’s verses were not recorded post 1996 (clearly, they were) then the next two questions need to be asked.
If Tupac did not fake his death, they why did Suge Knight generally believe Tupac recorded music post 1996?
And were there any signs from the beginning that Suge believed Tupac survived the Las Vegas shooting?
Well go to the next song that many believe was recorded post 1996 to answer those two questions. Here is another song this time on the Until the End of Time album titled, “****ing with the wrong fellow”. This is a song many also believe Tupac recorded after 1996.
Here are some lines in this song which also point to Tupac’s survival, and we will also get into whether there is a link to the Ghetto Star song.
“fellows. ****ing with the wrong fellow.
My seductive introduction be specific, still elusive
but exclusive's what I give you when I kick it, and I'm still lifted
fellows can't get with Mr. Wicked”.
Elusive: difficult to find, catch, or achieve.
“Falling legends clutching chrome three-five-seven
Puttin two bullets to they dome, wanted to die in heaven
Why call in shots nobody really as clear as me
Ain't trying to help the feds get a case for conspiracy
Murder my foes get disposed of
We all homies to the death, so my true fellows show me love”
“I was raised by thugs, schooled by killers
Learned my mathematics skills from real drug dealers
Tried to rise but they tried me
I guess they all had to die cause we tried peace
I die in these streets, blast 'til they recognize
Still do or die, all my fellows gettin high watching time fly
Then keep it poppin lot of busters wanna see me fall
I ****ed your bitch and now this new shit gonna' fade 'em all
My fellows ball made a call for some backup
for little' homies and my dogs in the black truck
Buck buck was the sound as they gats burst
No need for ambulance, baby bring the black hearse
Should've never ****ed around buster, how you figure?
Ma kin moves on the wrong fellow, is what it sounds like”.
It is known Biggie died on arrival to hospital. Eugene Deal has gone as far as saying he knew Biggie was dead before arrival to the hospital.
The producer of this song Tyrone Wrice (Hurt-M-Badd) in 2018 was interviewed by Bomb1st and he shared his thoughts on Tupac’s death, and he believes Tupac is alive.

Bomb1st Live : 2pac Producer Hurt-M-Badd and Reggie Wright
Is it a coincidence a song many people believe a song recorded post Tupac’s death has the very producer believing Tupac survived the Las Vegas shooting?
Reggie Wright Jnr doesn’t appear to like the fact that Hurt-M-Badd and others believe Tupac is alive. Reggie and others such as Greg Kading have over the years thrown shade at the theories Tupac is alive at times spoken about them disrespectfully.
What about Reggie and Greg and some of their own beliefs. Both are devout Christians. So, they believe in supernatural miracles.
Has anyone ever seen anyone fly to the clouds? Or raise people from the dead? Or virgins giving birth? Should I continue?
Or do we move the goal posts when it comes to religious beliefs?
Reggie also in the past on multiple occasions has said that a few days after Tupac had passed away, he had called Suge and told him he had found a location for Tupac’s memorial that held enough people and Suge told him, “No Reg we aint doing no funeral services for him. We’re just going to let the mystique stay out there and never speak on whether he is dead or alive and we just never going to speak on it to the universe that he is or isn’t”.

Suge Knight Said No Funeral Service If 2Pac Is Alive or Not - Reggie Jr - YouTube
Reggie claims this was just days after Tupac had passed away which would’ve been weeks before rumours that he was alive were in circulation. If this is correct, then Suge had advanced knowledge rumours Tupac was alive would be in circulation.
Did he?
On September 19th, 1996, just six days after Tupac had died, Suge Knight was interviewed by journalist Stephanie Frederic. At the 6:15 min the future of deathrow/new makaveli album is brought up. Then a minute later at the 7:40 min mark Stephanie asks why the name Makaveli for the new album and Suge suddenly becomes nervous and agitated when the prior 7 minutes he was fine.
6:15 to 8:10 min mark. 7:40 min mark Suge is visibly anxious.
(RARE) Suge Knight Interview. September 19, 1996! #FreeSUGE - YouTube
As we can see from the very beginning just 6 days post Tupac’s death in Las Vegas and before the eventual link between Tupac/Makaveli and faking his death become publicly apparent did Suge Knight already seem to know?
Here still is a potential link between the two songs released posthumously.
First verse of Ghetto Star
“I hit the weed and hope to God I can fly high
Witness my enemies die when I ride by, they shouldn’ta tried me
I send they bodies to they parents up North
With they faces laid bris and they nuts cut off
**** ’em all what I scream as I dream in tongues
**** a trick, get me rich and the bitches’ll come
Bust my gun, make ’em all scatter
Bullets to my nuts only made my balls fatter, eat a dick beyotch!
Mercy, never that, you say you comin back?
Bring it on, fo’ whoever strapped”
3rd verse of ****ing with the wrong fellow,
Tried to rise but they tried me
I guess they all had to die 'cause we tried peace
I die on these streets, blast till they recognize
Still do or die all my niggaz getting high
Watching time fly, best strategiez on a way to profit
Best organize how you ride so they can't stop it
Then keep it popping, a lot of busters wanna see me fall
I ****ed your bitch and now this new shit gonna fade 'em all
My niggaz ball, made a call for some backup
The little homiez and my dawgs in a black truck
Buck buck was the sound, as their guts burst
No need for ambulance baby bring the black hurse
Shoulda never ****ed around buster”
In the two songs people believe (including Suge Knight) were recorded post 1996 Tupac refers to people “trying” him and in both songs his words are linked to Biggie and his death.
Is this another coincidence?
“I die on these streets. Blast to they recognise…still do or die?”.
Is this not what occurred in Las Vegas and can any of you do something after you die?
Tupac seems to imply he can and did.
Another coincidence?
To almost close on the music and the theory police were involved, Big Syke in 2016 also hinted that the Police knew Tupac survived the Las Vegas shooting. When asked with Mopreme present by DJVLAD, why so many people think Tupac is alive, Big Syke says, “Coz the Police is looking for him”. Syke and Mopreme can barely contain their laughter when Syke shares this.
Is this another coincidence?

Thug Life: Mopreme Details Smoking 2Pac's Ashes & Fulfilling Pac's Wishes - YouTube
One argument commonly used against the idea of Tupac being alive for so long is his own supposed ability to remain quiet for this long. In 2020, Mopreme Shakur appeared on the HHU Podcast and was asked if Tupac was still alive and he unconvincingly responded by saying, “I wish. I wish. That’s exactly what he wanted to do. Do you think he could remain quiet for this long?”
2:25 min mark to 3:20. Mopreme claims that Tupac could not remain quiet for this long, but he also admits that Tupac wanted to fake his death.

Tupac post his release from prison in October 1995 and when interviewed by Tabitha Soren, Tupac answers the question himself if being quiet was in his future.
Tupac, “In jail it’s a whole different thing how we should be in life. Being humble. I think boasting is a character defect that is in me and in a lot of people. I think being humble is good and I got that from being in jail where you don’t talk as much and that is going to help me in everything I do. Even me”.

Tupac answered this question post his release from prison. So, this idea that Tupac could not remain quiet is not as strong as people seem to think considering Tupac said the exact opposite post his release from prison.
To some of Mopreme’s other comments over the years. Following the arrest of Keffe D in 2023, Mopreme was interviewed by the Art of Dialogue. Regarding the arrest and further investigation, Mopreme makes the following comments, “It will be interesting to see if the feds chime in here. Crooked cops were involved”.
Art asks Mopreme to elaborate and to give more details and Mopreme gives nothing other than saying, “Even on that night I think some bicycle cops pulled them over. I dunno. I dunno”.
Mopreme gives a definitive answer and then when asked to elaborate says nothing but, “I think” and “I dunno”.

"Crooked Cops Were Involved in 2Pac’s Murder" Mopreme Shakur On Keefe D’s Arrest.
As already noted through the Ghetto star song and Suge’s own beliefs about this record we can again see a connection between the feds/crooked cops being tied to Tupac’s case from people within his close inner circle.
If there was a federal conspiracy like Tupac surviving and crooked cops being involved, then the feds would be involved.
Further in 2015 when interviewed by Vlad, Mopreme when asked why the Tupac case never went to trial added the following, “Its Las Vegas. It’s a lot of power. All those parties is a lot of power. Power corrupts. The story is too thick, dark and intricate to unravel…maybe someday people will be amazed”.

MOPREME, TUPAC'S BROTHER ON STILL BEING ALIVE & IF PAC WOULD LIKE COPS TELLING THEIR STORY - YouTube
What can we learn from the various things Mopreme has said over the years and where is the likely conclusion?
From the beginning post Tupac’s death and the theories that he was alive were linked to his eventual return. The dates of 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2014 were dates that many looked to as dates he would be returning. In 2018 hip hop writer/journalist Thomas Hobbs wrote an article about the theories involving Tupac’s death, beliefs that he is alive and his eventual return. It is updated up until 2024 and titled, “Why the Tupac Lives Conspiracy refuses to Die in 2024”. Hobbs suggests that deathrow/Suge Knight and Tupac’s mother Afeni Shakur decided that furthering the idea that Tupac was alive would be good for marketing as it would boost record sales. As well as claiming Tupac’s lyrics are easily misunderstood, and this has furthered the theories that he is alive. The song “Ain’t Hard 2 Find” which was released on the “All Eyez on me” album released in February 1996 to some is misunderstood and that this song was in reference to Tupac’s shooting in NY opposed to the one in Las Vegas.
While claiming theorists have misunderstood certain Tupac lyrics, it appears Hobbs himself has misunderstood them as the song is neither referring to either shooting. But more of Tupac’s thoughts in that current moment. It is no surprise that only post his release from prison did Tupac begin to write such vivid lyrics about being alive while the world thought he was dead not long after becoming familiar with Niccolo Machiavelli. In the same album on the song, “No more pain” these words are also said, “When I die, I want to be a living legend, affiliated with this game with no more pain”. Then we have the posthumous releases which according to theorists like Hobbs were all recorded by September 7th of 1996. The same songs such as Ghetto Star where even Suge Knight seems to “confuse” them and himself believe they were recorded post 1996.
Hobbs a believing Tupac alive theorist himself at one point sincerely believed that Tupac would return due to the numerology and dates that related to Tupac’s death and in 2003, was disappointed when Tupac did not return. While again claiming theorists have misunderstood Tupac’s lyrics, Hobbs has again misunderstood Tupac’s words and lyrics.
The prevailing theory behind Tupac being alive is that most if not all of it was planned…including Tupac’s proposed “return dates”.
Suge Knight, Reggie Wright Jnr, Gloria Cox, The Outlawz and many others are all on record…multiple times as is Tupac himself both in interviews and his songs about a) His desire to not get shot again b) His desire to not return to prison
If Tupac survived the Las Vegas shooting, not only did he survive getting shot again but he would also be returning to prison. So, the two nightmare scenarios that he dreaded were both close to being realities.
Tupac for the outro on the Better Dayz album released in November 2002 which we can now be sure had songs recorded post 1996 answered the very question whether he would be returning or not.
His words were, “Expect me like You expect Jesus to Come Back. Expect me, I’m coming”. These words no doubt further put fuel to the fire when first heard in 2002 that Tupac would return though Jesus has not come back and it’s been 2000 years so Tupac was in essence saying he was not coming back considering the beliefs of proposed dates his “return” would be taking place.
And why would Tupac come back if the purpose of leaving was to avoid jail time when returning he’d also now have an extra charge?
Tupac’s lyrics included these recorded in 1996…
Street Fame – Lyrics
“Hoping the spies never find me”.
Made fellows – Lyrics
“Getting Lessons from fellows in penitentiaries
Game when applied help me survive several centuries”.
Ballad of a Dead Soulja - Lyrics
“Tryin to see me in chains shit
Them fellows will never breathe again
Before they put me in a cell
They’ll see me in hell”.
When looked at critically and not emotionally we can see a lot of these supposed objections to the theories linking Tupac surviving are not that strong especially when it comes to his “return dates”.
Lyrics, Tupac’s time of death, Deathrow/Afeni fuelling the rumours, supposed return dates are not what made people initially think he had survived.
It was issues relating to both his stay in hospital which initially was expected to survive and of course, the secret and rushed postmortem activities which we can now see were done for an obvious reason like people initially expected they were. People’s initial impressions are usually correct.
Everything else only was unintentionally or intentionally at times only an add coincidentally or not.
Tupac did not tell the doctor to list his death at 4:03pm it just coincidentally was that way, though I guess since originally theorists believed so, they then expected everything else was somehow connected to numerology including his “return dates”.
Who Killed Tupac? New Details About the Conspiracy in 2024
To conclude, in February of 2026, the trial that no one thought we’d see will take place. Nearly 30 years after the shooting in Las Vegas. And we can only thank Keffe D’s ego led big mouth. In one of his many interviews, he downplayed Tupac’s importance in comparison to his story and said the following, “It’s bigger than Tupac homie. This aint all about Tupac this is all about me”.
Introduction.
Keefe D- Full Interview
In another one of his many interviews where he admits his own involvement in the murder, he also questions whether Tupac is dead, and he sources Suge Knight when considering this possibility. We will never see a case like this in our lifetime. The suspect sourcing the other witness and questioning if the victim is still alive 20+ years after the victim had “passed away” and using the words of the other witness when doing so. Unprecedented.

Suge Knight being the only other witness present with Tupac during the shooting has had a lot to say since October 2023. However, his first line of communication post Keffe’s arrest was the following, “Well surprise number one because I never thought Keffe D would ever be arrested nor do I want him to be arrested. Why am I going to go on a witness stand and testify for what?”.
When asked about the specific details of the shooting such as who pulled the trigger, Suge interestingly added, “There were only two people in the car. Pac not finna tell you the story. I’m not finna tell you the story”.

Keffe D whether on the outside or in the inside his ego, stupidity and humiliating antics are always on show and on camera. If it not being involved in altercations with other inmates while awaiting trial for the biggest murder case according to him in “Las Vegas history” it is even more emphasized with his gloating of words of the altercation to others in phone calls, “I get dirty dude. Dog handles his business”. Then through a change of heart it is showing his “softer side” crying on international television and expressing his sadness about not seeing his family anymore and admitting he was not involved and instead pointing the finger at another individual (Reggie Wright Jnr) and claiming he was involved when in prior interviews he’s also accused him of being involved in the Biggie murder.

As of August 14th, 2025, Keffe D has a new defence team as he has tossed out Carl Arnold and gotten in Robert Draskovich and Michael Pandullo. Both are new, and this is already apparent with Draskovich referencing and being in communication with none other than RJ Bond and claiming he is “knowledgeable”. The same RJ Bond, Keffe D once claimed he should sue. The same RJ Bond who has been promoting himself and his theories for the past 20 years and still 20 years later, nothing. The same RJ Bond who must lie on others who have ties to this case to further generate viewers and to minimize competition which highlights his impure intentions. The new attorneys better get accustomed with this case soon as of this moment they appear to be going nowhere. As one “knowledgeable” individual connected to this case once said, “If you don’t know where you are going any road will you get there”. If their cluelessness wasn’t obvious enough with whom they’re already aligned with, it is even further highlighted with their comments about the various theories tied to this case and some of their thoughts on them, “we’ve heard multiple alternative suspects. I mean some of these are more credible than others. I mean there have been so many theories about this case I mean some people still believe Tupac is alive. We don’t believe that by the way”.

[FULL PRESSER] New attorneys in 'Keefe D' Davis' case speak to media five months ahead of trial date - YouTube
Kevin Manning, Brent Becker and Mike Franks using deceit pushed the Tupac case to the side 30 years ago due to their involvement in a conspiracy.
29 years later it will all be present in Las Vegas in February 2026 when Clark County District attorney’s Marc DiGiacomo and Binu Pilal will use images of Tupacs “autopsy” during the trial and presentation unbeknownst to all present those images are truly not what they appear to be.
29 years earlier within weeks of Tupac’s death in September of 1996, rumours he was alive were in circulation. They were not just in circulation but contemporaries of Tupac like Chuck D helped bring rise to the rumours in the first place. Such was the rise of the rumours most Tupac fans and the public believed. Eventual return dates were given with even the Guardian coming in on such rumours with their very own article on the issue in 2007.
Tupac's second coming | Music | The Guardian
18 years later the belief in the unlikely but not improbable has waned mostly due to time and other factors which can be explained. One being the belief that Tupac was supposed to “Return” at a given date to fulfill the prophecy of faking and his death and returning which examined critically we can see was never likely at all. But most importantly what time has shown is the belief itself has been able and is able to hold itself in front all its supposed “obstacles”. Even with an impending murder trial, the theory still holds still and true.
To make sense of this case and the confusion surrounding it with the truth being present and lingering from the very beginning and enduring to this day while also being still “elusive” as Tupac may very well be at 54 years of age, it’s only fitting we turn to his words to explain it away. He seemed to hold an ability to predict a lot of things though as theorists who tell it and claim he did not survive the September 7th, 1996, shooting in Las Vegas, Tupac seemed to predict everything except September 7th, 1996, and the six days that followed.

New developments in the case were discovered according to Keffe D’s defense team at the time which included witness information that Tupac was in a stable condition post his Las Vegas shooting.
“Defense attorneys also are raising questions about the manner of Shakur’s death, saying they have witness information indicating that he was in stable condition after the shooting and died suddenly after being hospitalized for a week. They want to consult medical and forensic experts to evaluate potential alternative causes of death”.

So, a new date was set for Keffe D’s trial February 2026.
In 2021, reporter and journalist Lena Nozizwe did a podcast with retired Las Vegas homicide detective Brent Becker.
Brent Becker was assigned to solve Tupac’s shooting in 1996. Becker was part of a 3-man team led by Sgt. Kevin Manning and detective Mike Franks to solve Tupac’s shooting. All 3 were present during Tupac’s autopsy. Due to their role as the investigators assigned to Tupac’s homicide, all 3 were present during Tupac’s autopsy.
Brent in 2021 recalls and discusses Tupac’s autopsy with reporter and journalist Lena Nozizwe in her podcast, “Tupac’s murder was his case”. In episode 3, titled “autopsy” Brent discusses Tupac’s autopsy.
Brent at the 12:20 to 13:20 min mark, “It is highly unusual to do a nighttime autopsy. There was nothing normal about how everything transpired. By the way I understand it they secretly got (Tupac)him out of the hospital to the coroner’s office. Again…I’ve never done a nighttime autopsy. Normally someone passing away at 4pm in the afternoon would do the autopsy the next day. They do autopsies on Saturdays, but they would never do it in the evening”.
Ep 2: The Autopsy • Lena Nozizwe Reporting: Tupac's Murder Was His Case
Tupac was allegedly autopsied immediately following his death. Within a few hours. We will get into why there was such a rush to “autopsy” Tupac soon and how this is linked to the theory he survived. Tupac died at 4:03 PM on September 13th of 1996 and a few hours later, his “autopsy” was conducted. This according to Becker was not normal standard Clark County coroners’ office procedure.
The Tupac alive community for a sustained period now has believed or promoted the idea that Tupac had a double body and this is how he managed to fake his death. We will also get into why this theory exists in a minute and work around other issues that are tied to Tupac’s autopsy that need to be discussed.
Brent Becker in the first episode titled “prelude” at the 18 min mark of the same podcast shares with host and reporter Lena Nozizwe that during his career in homicide he covered at least 140 homicides. We can conclude from Brent’s words that from 140 autopsies he was present at…only Tupac’s was done in the evening.
Becker also confirmed in the autopsy episode that it was Tupac’s body at the coroner’s office. In response to being asked at the (25:40 min mark to 26:30) as to what was used to possibly identify Tupac such as blood and if there was a purpose in doing so as the victim (Tupac) was widely known, Becker responded with, “We knew who he was. Theres absolutely no doubt whose body was at the coroner’s office. It was Tupac Shakur. No body was switched”.
Retired Sgt Kevin Manning also present during Tupac’s “autopsy” testified under oath during the grand jury in 2023 and to Clark County district attorney Marc DiGiacomo. that it was Tupac’s body at the coroner’s office. We’ll also get into more of Kevin Manning later.
The idea that there was a potential body switch potentially stems from two areas. One is a theory online called the “No grapes theory” which has been around on the internet for over two decades now. In 2020, filmmaker Rick Boss was filming a documentary (never ended up being released) which he said was based “inside information” that he received from Tupac’s family given that his family had connections to the Black Panther Party. Boss claims that Tupac got word that there was a threat to his life and Tupac then placed a double body in his car and Tupac made his escape.
2Pac: The Great Escape from UMC - YouTube
This theory is also potentially linked to witness Paige Hemmis who said Tupac was taken away into a helicopter after he was shot. Paige responded to this a long time ago in a tweet from memory and she said it was an ambulance. There was no helicopter that took Tupac away. She confirmed this a long time ago and I saw her say it was an ambulance and not a helicopter. She made an error it is still believed by many that there was a helicopter.
And of course, we’ve got the theories about Tupac’s moustache appearing bigger to some in different pictures taken on the night of the Las Vegas shooting and alleged sightings of Tupac “double bodies” also present at the MGM on the same night. Chris Carroll the bicycle cop first at the scene of the Las Vegas shooting has said over the years that Tupac’s last words to him were “**** you” when asked who shot him. Despite this Caroll has made joking remarks before that if he was offered money, he would’ve taken part in a “body switch” conspiracy. These have only ignited the theories that there is something amiss with the story that has been told and accepted as official.
In regards to the potential conspiracy author Cathy Scott in her book, the killing of Tupac Shakur shares this, “First, for Tupac to have faked his death, he would have to have the cooperation of not only his family, friends, and associates ; but of the Clark County Sherrif, The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s patrol, traffic, bike cops, general assignment detectives and homicide detectives, criminalist investigators, lab technicians, dispatchers and public affairs officer ; Nevada Highway Patrol troopers and dispatchers ; Mercy Ambulance paramedics and dispatchers ; Clark County Fire department firefighters, paramedics, and dispatchers ; University Medical Centre nurses, doctors, and administrators; the Clark County Coroner and his entire staff of examiners, technicians, and clerks; not to mention reporters and photographers who were the scene shortly after the shooting. In other words, it would take a conspiracy of epic proportions”.
This is mostly all incorrect as it’s based on Tupac being able to fake his death if he planned everything. Not that it could’ve been done spontaneously as he was recovering. Cathy for her own or other reasons puts it in for a shock effect. Tupac doing it spontaneously as he lay recovering in UMC makes conspiracy probable.
Tupac’s aunt Glo Cox in the dear mama series released in 2023 here discusses how Tupac wanted to disappear before going to prison in 1994. His words were to his family, “Tell Mutulu one of us got away”. This is connected to figures in Tupac’s family/Black Panther background who attempted or successfully evaded Law enforcement including Assata Shakur who escaped a NJ Prison in the 1970s and has been living in Cuba since.

Tupac’s stepbrother Mopreme Shakur in 2019 said that Tupac would often say that Niccolo Machiavelli was “dope” because according to Tupac, Niccolo had faked his death. Video here.

In 2018, the documentary American Dream/American Knightmare was released which itself was recorded in 2011/2012. In it, Suge Knight discusses how on a trip to Hawaii, Tupac was discussing how he wanted to fake his death. Quotes here.
"We was in Maui, you know what I mean, and Pac had, like, never been to Maui. And he got to talking about faking his own death," said Suge. "And Pac was more down for doing, like, the last little videos and shit of him dying all in the white, you know what I'm saying."
Suge Knight Recalls Tupac Wanting To Stage His Own Death Weeks Before Murder
The music video Suge Knight is referring to is the I Aint Mad at Cha video which was recorded in May of 1996. Four months before Tupac’s death in Las Vegas.
This was also the first time publicly the idea that Tupac and faking his death was linked to Hawaii.
Wait……. was it?
In the late 90s/early 2000s, Hussein Fatal in an interview says two interesting things at two different times in the interview. Quotes attached. Also link below.
With all the heat surrounding Tupac, did that affect the last album you dropped?
Hell, yeah. It affect my album. I don't know the whole shit on how it affected it. Everybody knows what's going on, politics is politics. Everybody knows who controls New York, who controls the radio. (Everybody knows) who's funny, who's twisted, who's gay and shit. If I had it like (those in power), I would control it too. Ain't nothing wrong with that, but I got to show them that PAC s shit ain't never gonna die. I gotta be strong. The mainstream to me ain't really nothing. As long as I got the streets, mu****as can't shut me down 'cause these fellows ( points to his crew) gonna be here. Other fellows is losing they job, hiding in Hawaii or staying home. **** that staying home.
In the same interview Hussein also says this.
Are The Outlawz still together?
No doubt. PAC's mind was too strong to let fellows break up. He bonded fellows. I wasn't no little mutha****a, I was on the front line. I just recognize mad, mad, mad rappers is ******s. I'll tell a mutha****a that in the studio. But that fellow PAC? He keeps away from the streets because your friends will kill you. That's probably my only weakness, 'cause I love my fellows.

This interview was recorded after Tupac had died. Recorded in late 90s or early 00s. In a separate interview a decade later in 2010 with Young Noble and Edi also present, Hussein attempts to talk over Young Noble and refers to Tupac being at home…with his words, “He the reason Pac at home…”. An emotional Hussein is claiming Tupac is at home and FunkMaster Flex is the cause of Tupac living in isolation. This interview was in response to FunkMaster Flex in late 2010 going on a anti Tupac and pro Biggie rant on stage. A min later in the very interview, Hussein also says, “Nobody is saying you got to like anybody, but you will respect it. And you won’t be everywhere talking about it (Tupac/Biggie beef) like you think somebody (Tupac) has been dead for all this time and they aint got nobody”.
Hussein in a 2010 interview a) confirms Tupac is alive b) Funkmaster is the cause or part of the cause Tupac is alive in isolation. He confirms this with Edi Mean and Young Noble also present in the same interview, and they do not attempt to correct him.
1:15 min mark & 2:30 min mark.
2Pac's Outlawz Members Speak Out Against Funk Master Flex - YouTube
Hussein also uses the same words in 2010 with direct reference to Tupac as he did in the late 90s/early 00s in the above interview a decade prior to the audio recorded one in late 2010. Those being, “Other fellows are hiding in Hawaii or staying home” and in 2010, “He the reason Pac at home”. We also know Suge in 2012 shared that during a trip to Hawaii in 1996, Tupac started to talk about faking his death.
As for Funkmaster Flex being the cause or part of the cause tied to Tupac’s death in Las Vegas most would agree that the events that transpired in Las Vegas were connected to the shooting at Quad’s studio in NY in November 1994. Edi and Young Noble post Husseins own death in 2015 (7 years after the first interview in 2010) were interviewed by DJ Vlad and at the 3:00 min mark Vlad reshares the claim that Tupac shot himself which is the very thing Funkmaster flex was claiming. Edi in response denied this being he was around Tupac at the time. Young Noble then chimes in with, “How does Flex know? Were his boys there who did the shit?”. Edi quickly shoulder nudges Young Noble to stop him from saying anything further.
3:00 to 4:05 min mark.

If Hussein was lying, why do the other Outlawz members indirectly confirm what he said in the above interview about Funkmaster Flex years later and post Hussein’s own passing?
Regardless and more importantly we can see through their comments that if Tupac were to fake his death, then it is more than possible, he was able to do it spontaneously as he lay recovering in the UMC hospital. By it being done spontaneously it did not need to involve double bodies or a list of organizations that Cathy Scott seems to claim in her book.
If he thought about it enough to the point people believe he managed to stage it with “double bodies” then he also would’ve been able to do it spontaneously in the hospital without direct preplanning.
Tupac, according to both Suge Knight and Hussein Fatal, had Hawaii in mind as either a location to move too or it drew on and inspired his thoughts of disappearing due to the islands it possesses.
Brent Becker in the autopsy interview stated that only one doctor from UMC trauma was involved in a potential conspiracy when it came to Tupac’s death. Brent does not mention all those other individuals and organizations that Cathy Scott mentions in her book.
In Cathy Scott’s own book, the killing of Tupac Shakur… Ron Flud the senior coroner at the Clark County Coroners office and who was Tupac’s coroner said this in regard to him being involved in a potential conspiracy, “at a typical autopsy the people normally in the room are the pathologist, forensic technician, crime scene analyst, and the detectives assigned to the case. Look at the number of people who would need to be involved in this to say there was a conspiracy”.
His words are almost identical to the words Brent said in 2021. Brent and Ron Flud do not mention all these other individuals from the crime scene, nurses, to administrators to multiple doctors etc. that those who would not be involved like Cathy Scott seem to think would need to be involved.
In 2021, Brent Becker in the autopsy interview at 50 min mark to defend the idea there was a conspiracy said, “I saw him, and he was dead. Mike Franks saw him, and he was dead. Kevin Manning saw him, and he was dead. We got all those at the coroner’s office. That doctor from UMC. Why would a doctor…. Do people even know how many people would be involved in such a conspiracy?”
Brent Becker says only one doctor from UMC was involved in a potential conspiracy which goes against what is in Tupac’s coroner’s report which states Tupac’s body was removed from the hospital at 5:15pm an hour after he was declared dead. Tupac’s report also adds that a nurse placed Tupac’s body into a body bag presumably with Clark County coroner examiner Ed Brown. Not only was the time Tupac’s body was removed from UMC trauma filled incorrectly…the coroner’s office also added that a nurse along with Ed Brown (Clark County Coroner examiner) placed Tupac’s body into a body bag.
In late 1996, Frank Alexander Tupac’s bodyguard who witnessed the Las Vegas shooting told bodyguard Micheal Moore that the attending nurse who was present when Tupac died told him in a phone call that as soon as Tupac died, he was removed from the hospital by the doctor who pronounced him dead and taken to the back where the coroners van was waiting. Frank was recording his phone calls at the time due to fears his life was in danger. Frank was not lying at this time, and this was evident by him recording his phone calls. Phone call here. This recording was not released until 2017. Coincidentally or not, Frank himself was present at UMC hospital on September 13th, 1996, but was told to leave to go to a meeting at Suge Knight’s home and then an hour later Tupac was pronounced dead.
Frank Alexander Details How Quick Tupac's Body Was Removed From UMC Hospital - Frank Tapes #4 - YouTube
Tupac’s official coroner’s report states that Tupac was pronounced dead at 4:03PM by Dr James Lovett. Tupac’s mother Afeni Shakur identified her son’s body at 5:00pm in his hospital bed. These are all details from Tupac’s official coroner’s report.
We can see that there are conflicting reports. Both cannot be true. If Tupac’s body was removed immediately after he was pronounced “dead” which it was then the coroner’s report contains incorrect information which was written purposely to deceive.
The doctor who pronounced Tupac dead is named Dr James Lovett. According to this article, Mr. Lovett in 2013 was suspended for conducting patient surgeries without patient consent.
kxly.com/news/local-news/vamc-surgery-chief-suspended-under-investigation-for-misconduct/article_2b9d672f-4655-5c86-a666-efc6f7fac096.html
So why was Tupac’s body removed so quickly from UMC and why was there such a rush to autopsy Tupac so quickly?
Tupac’s body was removed immediately from UMC trauma after he was pronounced dead because he was still alive. So, his body needed to be removed from the hospital and to the coroner’s office away from view from any potential witnesses including other medical staff.
In September of 1997, Cathy Scott released her book the killing of Tupac Shakur. Included in the book is a post procedure picture of Tupac at the coroner’s office. Immediately after the release of the image those who were familiar with Tupac noted a few odd issues with the image. The first one was that Tupac’s Makaveli tattoo on his neck was not sighted. Also, Tupac was positioned in a way that was identical to how he was positioned in the ending of California Love video. This recording was before Tupac had gotten his Makaveli neck tattoo.
Still the connection was clear and was made. Unfortunately, Tupac’s Makaveli tattoo is there. It just cannot be seen in the image due to lighting.
However, this does not disprove the theory that he survived. It light of Beckers statement and Franks phone call, Tupac being at the coroner’s office still strengthens the theories that he did survive. Tupac, not knowing images of him at the coroner’s office would be released positioned and posed in a way that was familiar to him and of course those involved such as Becker foolishly released the image, believing it would end the theories, he was alive.
The image was released to stop the rumors he survived. It instead drew more suspicion that he did survive.
The image drew so much controversy that Robert Jordan present during Tupac’s autopsy was asked in a documentary/tv show about the image and whether it could or was fake in 2003 by dutch journalist Katja Schuurman.
Tupac Death Or Alive? 'Autopsy Interview with the Coroner' - YouTube
It should be noted that the image online and, in this video, appears more graphic than it is. The image in Cathy Scott’s book in its original form does not appear graphic. Just edited. Tupac’s face appears normal. He was after all “sleeping” when that image was taken. If one looks at it in its original form in Cathy’s book and from a distance and does not zoom in, Tupac’s “present” face will be faintly visible.
The autopsy or “autopsy” was completed immediately because after someone dies, there are changes that take place with the body. And since, Tupac was not actually deceased, the “autopsy” of his needed to be immediate and it could not have been left to the next day like other victims who were deceased.
A person appearing to be asleep can appear as though they are deceased. Add in a coroner’s office background, table and normal autopsy “procedure” it can and has fooled the eyes of many. It continues to do so.
Tupac’s face is turned away for a reason and it is because when the images were taken, he was alive.
Tupac himself made a potential reference to his Las Vegas death in the song, Ballad of a dead soulja
“Completely lost, revenge at all costs
Payback's a bitch, switched now the trick's crossed
Tossed up and never to be heard of
A single witness screamin', "Bloody murder, murder!"
Blast, tell me, homie, what you see now?
A blind man and a dead body, I'm ready to leave town
And get my cash though, hook up with Castro”.
2Pac – Ballad of a Dead Soulja Lyrics | Genius Lyrics
For many this is regular story telling. To some it is not. This is also a death row song. Or a song recorded post 1996. If Tupac recorded it in 1996 then he had thoughts and ideas where he wanted to leave or…it was recorded post 1996 which proves he survived. Either way, it only strengthens the theories he survived and not that he did die.
Tossed up and never to be heard of? Tupac’s last recorded music video was Toss it up recorded on September 6th, 1996. Coincidence?
Both Lena Nozizwe and Brent Becker from the 53:00 to 56:30 min in the autopsy episode share a dialogue about Tupac fans believing he staged his death in advance due to songs heard on the Makaveli Album. There are no songs on the Makaveli album which fans generally believed linked to Tupac being alive. The title/name of the album is the potential link and not any song. The music that many believe points to him being alive comes after.
Brent states that Tupac recorded a lot of music before his death, and this is the reason for the large volume of music that was released post his death. He even turns to Suge Knight to confirm this fact.
This will be discussed in detail further below whether there are any hints Tupac recorded music post 1996 and well go over Suge’s comments and beliefs since Mr. Becker references Suge Knight on this very issue.
As for the image itself, Brent Becker discusses it in this 2007 video shared below. Brent says, “the image was not included in our case file of images we took during the autopsy”. The LVMPD during autopsies would only take images of the deceased victim’s body that was relevant to the investigation itself such as wounds for example. The LVMPD did not take images of a deceased victim’s body post an autopsy procedure as this was not relevant to the investigation. Sgt. Kevin Manning also mentioned this during the grand jury in 2023 that the images taken of Tupac at the coroner’s office were images of his body before any “procedure”.
So, this is another reason Tupac’s “autopsy” image was leaked. It had to be an image not tied to the standard practice that either the Las Vegas Police or Clark County Coroners’ office did NOT take during the autopsy.
Images taken during the autopsy are usually of wounds not images during/post the autopsy.
Those involved including Becker also knew Tupac was only posing in his “autopsy” and as such, a decision was made to edit an image of Tupac posing at the coroner’s office and releasing it with graphic Y incision cuts.
Then the “chaos” and “mess” that came with that image was created. Clark County coroner at the time Ron Flud opened an investigation into how a post procedure picture of Tupac was leaked to the media. However, Ron himself admitted in Cathy’s book that the decision was made to autopsy Tupac quickly was due to security concerns as fans and others had made their way over to the coroner’s office.
Ron also claimed in Cathy’s book that they were protective of who was going to be in the room during Tupac’s autopsy as there were requests from other professional personnel who wanted to be present during the autopsy, “The body was evidence at this point. The only reason anyone other than those who needed to be involved in the room would be if the body needed to be identified and Afeni already identified Tupac. We were very protective of who was going to be in the room and only those who needed to be in there were allowed to be in there’. Not a verbatim quote from Flud in Cathy’s book but close enough.
Still not only was Tupac’s body removed from the hospital seconds after he was pronounced dead, but his autopsy was also handed in a specialized way. Yet Ron had to run an investigation in September of 1997 once the edited image of Tupac posing was released in Cathy’s book.
Ron Flud, “We had to remove Tupac’s body from UMC immediately post his “passing”. We also had to autopsy Tupac quickly due to security concerns. We also made sure no one who didn’t need to be in the room was in there and we couldn’t leave Tupac’s body overnight here because his fans will break in and look at his corpse.”
Also, Ron Flud, “I need to open an “investigation” into how a post procedure picture of Tupac is now in the hands of a reporter”.

Metro closes probe into leaked Shakur photo - Las Vegas Sun News
Brent Becker present during Tupac’s autopsy was asked about the image (same video reference as above/linked below) released in Cathy’s book by RJ Bond and Frank Alexander shared this about the image in 2007, “The photo that was released I don’t know how she (Cathy Scott) got it. I probably have suspicions”. Link here.
Brent Becker on Cathy Scott's Photo Of Tupac Not An Official Photo - YouTube
Yet in 2021 when interviewed by Lena Nozizwe in the autopsy episode at 35:30 to 36:50 min mark, Brent states that as he and Mike Franks and Kevin Manning were preparing to leave post Tupac’s autopsy, “I saw a general assignment detective and he had a camera in his hand and he walked into the room where Tupac’s body was post an autopsy procedure. So, it wasn’t rocket science to figure out where the image came from”.
If Becker noticed this unnamed “detective” with a “camera” in his hand as he was leaving, wouldn’t Ron Flud who was the senior coroner and Tupac’s coroner also see this unnamed general assignment detective with a camera in his hand?
If so, why did he need to open an investigation?
Was this “investigation” from Mr. Flud run as a diversion to further veil and disguise a conspiracy?
Note how Tupac’s coroner’s report has incorrect information which was placed in there to deceive that Tupac’s body being at the hospital until 5:15pm. We can see the lies continue to come together and after each other. Ron knew who was present during Tupac’s autopsy and post his “autopsy” and would’ve been present post Tupac’s “autopsy” and after Becker, Manning and Franks left and still there when the other “detective” walked in and out, yet he still needed to open an investigation?
Brent Becker either lied in 2007 or in 2021 when recounting his views on the autopsy picture on how and who had given it to Cathy Scott. Either way he is lying. The image was released to stop the rumors Tupac is alive which if Tupac is, then Becker would be involved in the conspiracy.
To further question Brent’s credibility in general and issues relating to Tupac’s alleged autopsy. In the first episode titled prelude, reporter and host Lena Nozizwe recalled her experience when she first walked into the offices of the LVMPD in 1997 to do an interview with Becker and Franks regarding Tupac’s homicide investigation. At the 12:25 to 13:15 min mark of the prelude episode, Lena recalls, “I remember when I called the LVMPD and asked for an interview those 25 years ago. And I remember walking into the office (of the LVMPD) and one of the first things that I saw entering was an image of a convict on an electric chair. And I remember thinking we’re not in Kansas anymore”.
In the autopsy interview at the 49:40 to 50:40 min mark Brent himself shares a story, “I remember getting a phone call from Kansas about a police officer asking to confirm if Tupac is dead or alive”.
Is it a coincidence that just over an hour after host Lena Nozizwe mentioned Kansas that Brent then shares a story about a cop from Kansas calling him? Or did Brent Becker share a fake story?
There are 50 states in the USA but out of all, Kansas was mentioned just over an hour after it was mentioned by the host. Coincidence?
To conclude at the 26:55 to 27:40 min mark of the autopsy episode the issue of a potential body switch is brought up this time by Lena Nozizwe (only a minute after Brent through his own confirmed that there wasn’t without being asked), “When you say that the body couldn’t of been switched at any point is it not in the realm of possibility?” Brent responds with the following, “Well if you believe an alien being came in and zapped that van on the way to the coroner’s office, I guess that could happen. But I’m 100% sure that the body that was at the coroner’s office was Tupac Shakur. And I can tell you that no human being can survive what goes on during an autopsy if they were alive when they got put on that table”.

relude • Lena Nozizwe Reporting: Tupac's Murder Was His CaseEp 2: The Autopsy - Lena Nozizwe Reporting: Tupac's Murder Was His Case | Podcast on Spotify
Let me repeat that for the second time.
Lena Nozizwe asks if it was not impossible there was a potential body switch at any point and Mr Brent Becker says, “No aliens exist to switch bodies. Impossible. It was Tupac’s body at the coroner’s office. And when he arrived there, he was alive”.
If Tupac did not fake his death and pose for his autopsy images which is what he surely did do, then Brent Becker has confessed to Tupac’s murder.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Brent Becker, “I don’t care if the president of the United States or the Pope of the Catholic Church says he’s not dead. They’re liars or they’re full of shit. Tupac Shakur is dead.”
Also, Brent Becker, “No body was switched it was Tupac Shakur’s body at the coroner’s office. And how, we were sure? Well, he was alive when he got there, and he told us so”.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
‘Did the host Lena Nozizwe ever notice this? Obviously not but time to explain why.
In 2021 when promoting her podcast, host and reporter Lena Nozizwe was interviewed by Jmix/Jesse Surratt. Lena goes over her reasons as to why she did the autopsy episode which she claimed was due to the “enduring belief” that Tupac is alive. So, she turned to Brent Becker who as we know was present at Tupac’s autopsy as I quote her, “That autopsy episode it is going to offend some people because I know there is this enduring belief that Tupac is alive. And Brent Becker was at the autopsy. I know not everyone believes that is the case”.
So anytime anyone claims to be at an event this therefore means they’re always telling the truth? Obviously not but this is what Ms Nozizwe just implied and at the very least it gives us an insight into the skewed mindset she had before, during and after this podcast she did with Brent Becker. She also seems to be caught up too much in other narratives and in general overawed by Brent Becker’s “unique presence” to even realise her guest has confessed to Tupac being alive when he arrived at the coroner’s office for his “autopsy”.
When the alarm bells should’ve been ringing when Brent in response to being asked in the prelude episode why he was willing to do a podcast with her after being silent for 25 years and he and I quote said, “I know what you can do, and I can trust you”.
Nothing in the autopsy interview was “offensive” other than maybe Brent Becker’s repeated incriminating statements which Ms Nozizwe appears to never have noticed.
And as we will see in a few moments she is not the only reporter that is tied to this case that has been lied to by officers from the LVMPD.
6:30 to 7:20 min mark.
EXCLUSIVE: Lena Nozizwe (America's Most Wanted) - Orlando Anderson Suge & Interview w/ Brent Becker - YouTube
In 2018, along came retired Las Vegas Metropolitan detective Phil Ramos. 3-time police man of the year Ramos announced to the world in 2018 that he was also present at Tupac’s autopsy. Here is Ramos in the E investigates special on Tupac’s death in 2018.
Phil Ramos at the 3:00 to 3:10 min mark, “I saw Tupac’s body at the coroner’s office during the autopsy, and he had a whole bunch of bullets in the middle of his chest. He could’ve been shot outside the ER department, and he still wouldn’t have survived”.
Tupac Shakur Part 1: 22 Years After the Unsolved Shooting | E! News - YouTube
Phil says that Tupac had a whole bunch of bullets in the middle of his chest. Phil also says Tupac was never going to survive.
What narrative is Phil trying to share here? Tupac is dead. Nothing else matters. Phil is trying to glorify Tupac’s death and link it to violence.
In 2019, Phil further repeats that he was present at Tupac’s autopsy yet on this occasion when asked how many times Tupac was shot, Phil, “I went to the autopsy, and he was shot three times. Why they kept him alive as long as they did nobody knows”.
Former Undercover Detective has had Gun Pressed to his Head by Drug Lords, Witnessed Tupac’s Autopsy — Hunt A Killer
In a matter of 12 months, Phil went from, “Tupac had all these bullet holes in the middle of his chest” to, “Tupac was shot three times”.
In 2020, Phil was again interviewed this time by his niece about the Tupac case and investigation.
Phil at 3:35 to 3:45 min mark refers to the fight between Tupac, blood affiliates and Orlando Anderson as men, “Mother****ing each other”.
Phil from the 4:50 to 5:05 min mark says Tupac was shot in the arm, legs and in the lungs. Compare this to Phil’s original comments in 2018 that Tupac had a whole bunch of bullets in the middle of his chest?
Is this guy credible?
Phil then at the 7:50 min mark, “They then took his (Tupac’s) body to the coroner’s office where they did the autopsy the next morning and that’s when we were there”.
Detective Phil Ramos The Tupac investigation - YouTube
Phil states that Tupac’s autopsy took place on the morning of the 14th of September of 1996. 18 or so hours after Tupac was had been pronounced dead.
This is incorrect according to the coroner’s report and of course Brent Beckers statement that Tupac’s autopsy was at night. By the next morning Tupac’s morning was not at the coroner’s office anymore. Coroner Ron Flud according to Cathy Scott as I mentioned earlier in her book did not want to leave Tupac’s body overnight in case fans broke in to catch a glimpse of Tupac’s supposed “dead” corpse. This was also the reason that was given as to why Tupac was autopsied so quickly due to fans “making” their way over to the coroner’s office after Tupac had been pronounced dead at UMC.
Phil Ramos placed himself into the Tupac story for no other reason than he could using his honorary standing as a retired police officer to do so. Phil then used this platform to deceive the public. His motivations? Probably racism. Phil Ramos is so pitiful and feral, he even lies to his niece.
A week after Keffe D was charged with Tupac’s murder, Phil was a special guest on the Youtube channel Surviving the Survivor podcast. Phil was introduced and part of his introduction according to the hosts that he was present at Tupac’s autopsy.
1:00 min mark Phil is introduced as being present at Tupac’s autopsy. 5:00 min mark it is mentioned again Phil being present. At the 51:00 min mark Phil shares his autopsy experience. At the 29:30 min mark to 31:00 Phil also refers to Mike Franks and Brent Becker as being the lead detectives. He also claims both were very competent and alligators in their field. At the 44:45 min mark Phil again shares the common lie that no witnesses were willing to cooperate when it comes to Tupac’s death which we will get into soon.
Note that this interview was recorded in October of 2023. A year after Becker confirmed Ramos was not present at Tupac’s autopsy. Becker confirms this in one of the question episodes in the same podcast referenced in this already. Not that he is needed to confirm such a detail as it always said and has been evident already, liars often expose them in time. Such is the “research” of the guests and hosts of the Surviving the Survivor podcast, no one calls out Ramos for his blatant lies about being present at Tupac’s autopsy.
No other than Cathy Scott was a guest on this episode and she also does not call out Phil for his lies.
Cathy does not check Ramos at all for not actually being present at Tupac’s autopsy…but at the 29:20 min mark she refers to an unnamed police officer from another department as being a poser. Such is her disgust and hatred for Greg Kading (planted the seeds for this case even going to trial) she won’t even say his name. Some say God is not humorous but, in this occasion, he clearly is as Cathy Scott (unknowingly of course) placed an edited image of Tupac posing at the morgue is now accusing others of being posers while being a co-guest with Ramos who fits the description of “poser” no better than any other. When it comes to being duped by posers, Cathy Scott has serious form and is in a league of her own.
But who are we to believe? It has already been established that Brent Becker is a compulsive lying, fake storytelling and self-repeating incriminating doofus. What is Ramos in comparison besides being a racist deceitful pitiful poser?
Ramos was clearly not at Tupac’s autopsy. Nor did he see Tupac’s body at the coroner’s office.
We can conclude that not only is compulsive lying synonymous with members from the LVMPD (Becker and Ramos) from the 90s, sharing fake stories when it comes to Tupac is as well…Becker and Ramos again. Link to Cathy and Phil.
Tupac’s Author & Original Homicide Detective On Arrest - YouTube
As for Cathy’s credibility on the autopsy picture in 1998 she stated that she was given the autopsy picture by a source before she had even thought of writing a book she ended up releasing on the one year anniversary of Tupac’s death.
At what point did you acquire the autopsy photo ?
I’m not exactly sure of the date, but I don’t believe I had even decided to write a book about the case at that point. The photo came to me from a source who trusted me and knew I wouldn’t divulge his/her identity. I immediately put it in a safety deposit box. I could have sold it at a very high price. I chose not to.
Interview with Cathy Scott, author of "The Killing of Tupac Shakur" - HitEmUp.com
Yet in 2019 Cathy stated that she was given the picture by a source because this source knew she was already writing a book. She then decided to put the image in her book because mainstream media were reporting Tupac had faked his death.
It was more important for whatever reason to ensure that the idea Tupac faked his death was crushed in the media. At Whatever cost. Even by those who weren’t involved but were seen by those involved as being useful. Cathy exemplifies the term “useful idiot” to a t.
When asked about the autopsy picture at the 24:25 min mark, “I was writing a book and a source knew that and gave it to me. The decision was made to put it in the because mainstream media were reporting that Tupac had faked his death and the autopsy picture showed that he didn’t”.
Really, Cathy? The image itself only bought rise to more rumours he was alive as Tupac is posing in an identical way as he was in the California Love video.
At the 27:15 min mark Cathy repeats the lie given by the coroner’s office that Tupac’s body was removed from UMC trauma an hour after he was pronounced dead when we know from Frank Alexander’s phone call and Brent Becker’s statement that only one doctor from UMC trauma was involved and Tupac’s body was removed seconds after he died because he was actually still alive and not “dead”.
Who gave Cathy Scott the edited image of Tupac posing at the coroner’s office? When did they give it to her? And why? Cough cough it was Kevin Manning.
Why is Cathy Scott also lying?
To more of Brent Beckers odd comments, in the 2nd investigation episode Brent Becker at the 1:30 to 3:30 min mark, “We copped a lot of heat from Afeni for not doing anything in the investigation I mean if people didn’t think he was dead then I guess they didn’t believe his mother”.
Ep 3 Part 1: The Investigation - Lena Nozizwe Reporting: Tupac's Murder Was His Case | Podcast on Spotify
It should again be noted that when it comes to the topic of Tupac being alive, Brent either says some very odd things, or he remembers some very odd details. First, he shared the fake story of the police officer from Kansas calling him to ask him if Tupac was in fact dead or not. Then he admitted that Tupac was alive when he arrived at the coroner’s office. Now Brent is sharing that Afeni criticizing the Las Vegas police in February of 1997 is evidence that Tupac is in fact dead and not alive without even being asked. Becker freely shares this as a piece of detail he remembers…vividly.
How and again, why would he remember such a detail 25 years later? And how does Afeni criticizing the Las Vegas publicly police prove, “Tupac is actually dead?” And again, why is his first thought to bring up the theories about Tupac being alive which he’d be involved in?
To counter Brent’s claim it can be that if Tupac is alive and Becker was involved then Afeni would’ve known since she “identified” Tupac’s body after he had “died” which then therefore means she’d be involved in the conspiracy and her criticizing the Las Vegas publicly could be a strategic move done to divert attention away from the rumors her son was alive just as Ron Flud opened an investigation into the edited image of Tupac at the coroner’s office when he very well knew who was present. As a diversion as they say, to conceal one lie, you must tell another. Both diversions from first from Afeni and then Ron are to show that those who would be involved/know about the conspiracy are at odds/not on the same page. To create confusion whether intentionally or not.
Becker still is referring to Afeni’s comments from Feb of 1997. Those being.
“Let me put it this way, said Afeni Shakur, the slain rapper’s mother, “When my son was lying in the hospital in the hospital in a medically induced coma, the Las Vegas police went on national television telling everybody that he was not cooperating with their investigation. It was clear to me from Day 1 that the Las Vegas police have never had any interest in solving the case of my son’s murder”.
Police, Shakur's entourage at odds over investigation - Los Angeles Times
Afeni herself said in 2003 to xxlmag that she believes her son’s killer is dead.
Do you have any ideas on who was involved?
Let me say this, it’s very important. You see I’m so basic. I think the person who killed Tupac, I think he’s dead. But beyond that, if I’m wrong and it’s somebody else, I still believe that that person has to carry that. What I know about the criminal justice system in America is that they cannot punish him like God is going to punish him. And I don’t mean when he’s dead. I mean in his everyday life and not just him. Imagine being the grandchild of the person that murdered Tupac. You have condemned your entire family forever. What can the criminal justice system do? Not to mention the fact that the criminal justice system is not very successful at doing criminal justice like that. Many people feel that police caught the person that killed the person and then they get 10 years and they home. I don’t wanna be bothered with none of that. I don’t wanna be off into it. I’ve never cared in that sense. Whoever that person was, I know that person got big problems.

In 2010, Afeni shared that those within the black and hip-hop community were responsible for her son’s death. Afeni at 5:20 to 5:50 min mark, “I want you to remember that my son was murdered by people of his own kind and his own supposedly we all in hip hop whatever. Remember Tupac was murdered by people who should’ve been family”.
Afeni Shakur speaks out about Tupac's DEATH @Kingsmenmedia - YouTube
Yet in 2013, after Frank Alexander died, Afeni personally reached out to Jack the thriller who was the last person to interview Alexander before his death. Afeni according to Jack specifically asked Jack what conspiracy theories if any did Frank share with Jack off the air regarding Tupac’s death?
Jack did not share this until 2020. Link below. Even 7 years later Jack, when sharing, doesn’t appear to comprehend or understand why Afeni called him.
0:10 to 1:10 min mark

Frank’s main beliefs and beliefs he shared in interviews and documentaries were that Suge/Deathrow/Reggie Wright Jnr were responsible for Tupac’s death so we know it can’t be those.
So which other conspiracy theory (besides the blatantly obvious) was Afeni worried that Frank was going to share off camera?
So, the question remains, if Afeni had a) no interest in justice for her son’s murder but was more about preserving his legacy and b) already knew who killed Tupac, why was she concerned what conspiracy theories Frank had potentially told Jack off the air and privately?
What motive would Jack also have for making this up and sharing 7 years later if it wasn’t true?
To the investigation itself. From the beginning, one claim that has been treated as “fact” that has been shared from the LVMPD and others who believe their lies is that witnesses refused to cooperate and this is the main reason the case never went to trial.
In 2020, Reggie Wright Jnr was interviewed by DJ Vlad. Reggie shares that he took Edi to Compton police department to meet with Las Vegas detectives so Edi could identify Orlando Anderson as being Tupac’s shooter. Reggie states that Las Vegas detectives Manning, Becker and Franks instead of showing Edi a photo line-up they picked an argument and fight and Reggie concluded that those in charge at the time did not want to solve Tupac’s death.
Edi himself has been quiet on this issue in interviews however in 2014, Edi was asked if it was true that he was willing to tell Las Vegas pd that he saw Tupac’s shooter but then he refused as this is what has been reported.
In a now deleted tweet which has only been removed due to Edi’s twitter account being hacked as of June 2025, Edi in 2014 said in response to that question, “And I guess the police never lie. Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear”.
I cannot attach the tweet unfortunately as it’s been removed due to Edi’s account being removed but he did say this when asked this question in 2014.
Edi refutes the claim that has been accepted as fact by many. Edi’s tweet in 2014 corroborates the statement made by Reggie Wright Jnr in 2020.

Brent Becker disputes this in the 2nd investigation episode on Lena Nozizwe’s podcast at the 1:51:00 to 1:56:00 min mark. And we can be sure Brent is telling the truth because well he was there……………………right?
Ep 3 Part 2: The Investigation • Lena Nozizwe Reporting: Tupac's Murder Was His Case
In a 2009 vh1 special on Tupac’s case, Cathy and journalist Randall Sullivan go over the reasons as to why Tupac’s case was never solved. Sullivan claims that LAPD went over to Las Vegas and Las Vegas detectives told them privately, “Look we’ve been told they don’t want us to solve this crime”.
In addition to Sullivans comments, Cathy adds that it would’ve been bad publicity if the case went to trial due to the figures involved in this case those being gang members. Cathy’s closing conclusion is, “I think it goes beyond its bad for tourism. Somebody didn’t want to it to get solved and it didn’t get solved”.
8:55 to 9:30 min mark
Tupac Shakur Famous Crime Scene ORIGINAL FULL 20 min video PART 2
So, which is it? Was politics the cause of Tupac’s case not going to trial in the late 1990s or was it due to witnesses not willing to “cooperate?”.
What kind of message does Las Vegas send that when it comes to gang murders it is ok and that they won’t pursue any case that is tied to gang violence to the course. Is this even true?
Cathy being the closest source to the investigation at the time maintained during this period that the Sgt at the time Kevin Manning would actively ignore calls about the case from the media such was his “enthusiasm” to solve the case which he claimed was treated as any other case. Yet in Cathy’s own book according to her own sources, Cathy stated that Kevin Manning was seen going from news stand to news stand collecting Tupac souvenirs.
So, the question must be asked, if this case was just like any other case why was Kevin Manning collecting Tupac souvenirs?
Despite Cathy’s expertise in journalism and true crime reporting she doesn’t seem to notice or understand the potential implications behind Mr Manning collecting Tupac souvenirs considering the conspiracy of Tupac being alive which he himself would be involved in.
Edi being a witness to Tupac’s shooting in Las Vegas and being incorrectly accused of not wanting to help solve Tupacs death has found other ways to express what happened on the night Tupac was shot in Las Vegas. In the song, Rule of the street released in 2012 Edi shares that Tupac survived the Las Vegas shooting and the impact the shooting it had on himself being a witness at 1:05 to 1:25 min mark
“No time to think on the streets you betta get it and roll
Survival instincts
This life though, birth of a star singing for freedom
Now where your life go
Pitch black pistol sparking to make the night glow
Took a little piece of my heart
But where was God though”

Other members of the Outlawz have also used music to share their feelings/what really happened to Tupac.
In the song Remember me which was released as part of the perfect timing album the Outlawz released in 2011, Hussein Fatal dedicates his entire verse to Tupac.
“Now when your music is the sunshine to somebodies’ life
It’s kind of hard to disappear into the shadows of life
I got a letter from my road dog written in cold blood
He asked me do they remember and I told him there was no love
Remember me how I yell and beat this pain with the pen
This is a letter to my homies you probably never going to see me again”

The song Letter to my Unborn Child was a Deathrow song which means it was recorded in 1996. Either Tupac predicted the future, or it was recorded post 1996 and Hussein knew this.
Kastro another member of the Outlawz in the song Good Die Young released on the Still I rise Album in December of 1999 also uses the same words which Tupac himself used in the song and applies it to Tupac and his Death.

When interviewed about the perfect timing album in 2011, Edi shared that the song remember me is a tribute to Tupac.
Were there any “Dear Pac” letters or tracks dedicated to him?
Being that our work is heavily inspired by Tupac, you get that vibe on every song. Like on “Perfect Timing,” I can almost hear Pac on this track. We got a song on there called “Remember Me” and I think a lot of people, when they hear it it’s going to remind them of a Tupac song. So I’ll point to that one as far as being a somewhat dedication to him or something like that.

In 2017 and post Husseins death, Edi and Young Noble were interviewed by DJVLAD. In response when asked about the environment post Tupacs death and some of the theories that emerged such as Suge Knight being involved. Young Noble adds, “Nah (Suge had nothing to do with Tupac’s death) it’s a dumb theory. They come up with new theories every day. You listen to the theories..Pac’s somewhere…we know where he’s at”.
Young Noble is again checked by Edi with a look and Noble controls himself from laughing.

Suge Knight in both 2012 and 2014 makes a claim to Police knowing Tupac survived and that is why the case never went to trial. Suge believing the cops in charge of Tupac’s investigation purposely stopped the case from being solved.
Suge Knight, 2014, “If you notice we got a rat on television saying he did the shooting this happened. That happened. If you think about it right, why you think nobody been arrested if they said they the ones who killed Tupac? Coz be smart son Tupac not dead”.

Suge also mentions this in the 2012 interview with TMZ on April 20, 2012. If this is a lie, then why does Suge say it on two different occasions two years apart?
Suge Knight Says 2pac Still Alive 2012 Interview - YouTube
Suge adds in in 2012 that, “Nobody has seen Tupac dead”. His comments fit in line with Tupac being alive during his “autopsy” and now that we know that Tupac was removed immediately after he was pronounced “dead” from UMC and as per Beckers statement Tupac was alive when he was placed onto the coroners table, the picture becomes a bit clearer.
Tupac is still alive: rap mogul Suge Knight says – New York Daily News
We’ll go back to Suge near the ending but let’s for the moment use some of Suge’s comments in 2012 to get into the topic of whether Tupac did record songs post 1996 since this was discussed by both Lena Nozizwe and Brent Becker at the end of the autopsy episode. Brent Becker said that the reason for the large volume of music that was released post Tupac’s death is because of how much Tupac recorded in the studio. Brent then sources Suge Knight on this very issue.
So, let’s examine and investigate Suge Knight’s comments on this issue and determine if Brent Becker is being truthful…….(not holding my breath)
Well start with Suge comments those being, “The person who supposedly cremated Tupac his mother wanted it done quickly if he passed…this guy got about 3 million dollars from me cash and next thing I know I never heard from the guy or seen him again he retired and left”. Suge said these words on April 20th, 2012, on his 47th birthday.
A few years prior in 2008 youtuber Anton Batey interviewed author Drah Cenedive. Cenedive wrote a few books in the 2000s on the theories about Tupac being alive a belief he vehemently believed. At the 1:15 min mark Anton queries Drah, “What is the best evidence you have that he is alive?” and Drah responds, “The best evidence I have is his own lyrics and how he speaks in past and present tense”. Anton “refutes” this and shares that Tupac in an interview on Gridlockd said that he treats his albums like movies and that is why he has been so successful in the music industry.
At the 15:30 min mark, Anton Batey also adds, “Alive theorists pick and choose the lyrics they want to believe. Like the part in Ghetto star when Tupac says I heard the fed’s had a warrant for my ass. He is telling a story, and you can tell by the context. Is it literal when he says he’s selling cops marijuana?”.
Is Tupac Alive? Drah Cenedive vs. Anton Batey - altCensored
Here is the interview Anton mentions where Tupac spoke about his lyrics and how he treats them like Movies. Here are his exact words.
“I’ve always been an actor. The reason I’ve been so successful in the rap game is I treat my albums like movies. And I treat writing it like I am a character in a story…for each album whatever I am going through the stages I am going through and I do it vividly with vivid pictures with action and description with a beginning, middle and an end. Conflict. Redemption. I think with my music it is watching someone go through things. My whole career. If James Dean was a rapper it would be me. Because I don’t know you’re not supposed to tell people everything that happens in your life, so I just tell them and that has made me successful if anything”.
4:50 to 7:30 min mark.
Tupac 1996 Gridlock'd Interview FULL (HQ) - YouTube
Those were Tupac’s exact words. One he treats his albums like movies, but they are also about his life and the stages he goes through. He also shares he shares everything that happens in his life in his music. So, Anton in truth was being a hypocrite accusing alive theorists of picking lyrics they like and using them as “evidence” that he is alive when he himself was doing the same thing and he wasn’t quoting Tupac in full.
Why is this key?
Let’s look at the song Ghetto Star released on the Better Dayz album released in November of 2002. The very song Anton brings up that alive theorists are wrong to believe there is a link to Tupac being alive..such as him recording this verse post 1996.
“Evacuate the crime scene fast
Why I heard the Feds had a warrant for my ass
Why, I won't touch down 'til I see Tijuana
Set up shop selling them crooked cops marijuana
Label me a success, I made the switch
Retired from the life that never gave me shit
But cash that I couldn't spend, countless cars
An addict for a wife, my life, as a ghetto star”.
Is this regular creative story telling or is there something more to these lyrics?
In February of 1997 and 5 months after Tupac’s death in Las Vegas, Afeni Shakur was interviewed by Brian Ross of ABC news.
At the 2:10 min mark Afeni, “He absolutely thought he was quite rich and that his family would be rich forever”. 3:20 min mark, “I discovered he had next to zero. The home he thought he had just bought was not his”.
Lawyer Richard Fischbein for Tupac’s estate at 8:00 to 8:30 min mark, “He asked repeatedly for the accountings of the things that he did and of the monies that came in and he never got em. And when he screamed loud enough, I’m told someone would come over and bring a car and say here Tupac, here is a rolls Royce and then when he died it was found out none of it was his”.
ABC Primetime Live: Afeni Shakur & Death Row Records (Feb 5th, 1997) - YouTube
Sounds like some of the lines in the Ghetto Star song, no?
Now we will now go back to 2005. And again, to Suge Knight since Brent Becker sources Suge Knight on this very issue. When asked about the rumours about Tupac being alive Suge said the following, “So people always want to know if Pac dead or is he alive. I’m the wrong person to ask but ill tell you this. If you try to find the person who cremated Tupac after he supposedly cremated, he retired and vanished into the sun. into the sunset. Into the darkness. If you really look at it, could Pac have done all those songs? Mathematically impossible. Do you still see him? Do you still hear him? I’m quite sure you do but once again, I’m not into telling so you’ll never know”,
Suge claims the person who supposedly which means the cremation never happened retired right after it was “done”. Suge means Tupac “cremated” himself and he retired and vanished. In the very next sentence, Suge asks whether Tupac could record all the songs he did, and his conclusion is that it was impossible which is exactly the opposite of what Brent Becker said.
Could Tupac record all the songs that were released after his death before his “actual passing” on September 13th, 1996? Sure. Anything is possible, right?
But did he?
Let’s look at why Suge even said what he said. Suge claims that Tupac retired and then he links Tupac retiring to the songs that came after Tupac’s death to which Suge then concludes Tupac had been recording music post 1996.
10 sec to 1:10 min mark.
Suge Knight reveals that Tupac Shakur “faked his death” - YouTube
Suge Knight on two occasions close to a decade a part states that Tupac retired and left. The key word being “retired”. Both in 2005 and 2012.
Here is the reason why Suge Knight in the first and second (2005 and 2012) clip has used the word “retired” when it came to Tupac’s death and disappearance and how it ties to the very song Ghetto Star being recorded after Afeni and her lawyer’s appearance on ABC news in Feb 1997 which means he survived the Las Vegas shooting.
In 2022, The art of dialogue interviewed Outlawz member Napoleon and Napoleon shared that Tupac would often say sickcess instead of success when it came to the music and entertainment industry. To Tupac it was not “success” but sickcess.
His exact words at 3:00 to 3:30 min mark, “He used to dip and runaway from security. I think one of the ways Pac dealt with celebrity and fame because he used to call is sickcess instead of success. He used to say the fame that came from the entertainment is sickcess. So, I think the way he dealt with it is I have to live as normal as possible”.
Despite Tupac’s status as a mega star, he was still moving and acting as if he was a regular person. Full dialogue 2:00 to 3:30 min mark

In the same interview but another clip, Napoleon again mentions that Tupac would call success….sickcess.
In the opening Art asks Napoleon to go into more detail about Tupac’s unhappiness in the music industry before he died which Napoleon briefly touched on in prior interviews and Napoleon responds, “Well Pac wasn’t happy with the industry like I said he used to call sickcess instead of success”.

On closer listening in the song Ghetto Star released on the Better Days album in November of 2002, Tupac says “sickcess” instead of success. So, the verse is….
““Evacuate the crime scene fast
Why I heard the Feds had a warrant for my ass
Why, I won't touch down 'til I see Tijuana
Set up shop selling them crooked cops marijuana
Label me a sickcess, I made the switch

Tupac himself in his 1995 jail house interview when discussing his music also shared “No matter what these people say about me. My music does not glorify any image. My music is spiritual if you listen to it. It is all about emotion. With other rappers might paint a perfect picture of themselves I tell my innermost darkest secrets. I reveal myself in every one of my records. I tell my own personal problems”.

And here is what he had to say, “We can sort of blame that on Tupac and the lyrical content that he left us. I mean even when I listen to his music I say he really said that. Damn he really said that. Like when you listen to the song Ballad of a dead soulja when he says, a blind man and a dead body I’m ready to leave town. Even in the song I’m on with him how you going to say you retired from a life?”

Nuttso who himself was around Tupac admits he finds certain Tupac lyrics questionable as do his fans over the years. Nuttso is not asked and does not confirm or deny if Tupac was in the studio when they recorded Ghetto Star. Though common sense would tell us if that was the case, he would’ve just said it since he himself brought it up as lyrics that he like fans found strange.
The Outlawz in 2011 were interviewed by XXLMAG when promoting their perfect timing album which dropped September 13th 2011 and they were asked if there were still any Outlawz/2pac music in the vaults which in time could be released and they confirmed there was. Hussein Fatal added, “Stay tuned…you know Pac’s still making new music”.
9:50 to 10:40 min mark
Outlawz Live Interview on XXLMag.com [2011] [September 15th] - YouTube
Let’s again for the third time look at the verse in Ghetto star and now piece it all together.
““Evacuate the crime scene fast
Why I heard the Feds had a warrant for my ass
Why, I won't touch down 'til I see Tijuana
Set up shop selling them crooked cops marijuana
Label me a sickcess, I made the switch
Retired from the life that never gave me shit
But cash that I couldn't spend, countless cars
An addict for a wife, my life, as a ghetto star”.
The key line is selling THEM crooked cops’ marijuana. Plural. These crooked cops are introduced into the story but with the way they are brought into the story it is implied that they had already done something for him for him to want to sell them marijuana which of course is obviously NOT literal. He introduces them right after he escapes a crime scene/Feds.
Brent Becker, Mike Franks and Kevin Manning if Tupac survived were all involved in the conspiracy and that is what Tupac is referring to here.
Then we get the “sickcess” line which is in direct reference according to Napoleon to the music and entertainment industry which he then claims he retired from. And of course, the line, “But cash that I couldn’t spend countless cars my life as a Ghetto star.
What did the Estates lawyer say in Feb of 1997??
Richard Fischbein, 1997, “He would ask for money and when he’d scream loud enough, he would be given a car”
Tupac, 2002, “Label me a sickcess I made the switch retired from the life that never gave me shit but cash that I couldn’t spend countless cars my life as a ghetto star”
Suge Knight, 2005 & 2012, “The person who supposedly cremated Tupac this guy retired and left. Could Pac had done all those songs impossible?”
Napoleon, 2022, “Tupac would say sickcess instead of success when it came to the music and entertainment industry”.
This song or at least Tupac’s verses were recorded post 1996. Youtuber Anton Batey claims the fans were wrong to assume this is the case though the song seemed to even “confuse” Suge Knight who knew Tupac and was present with him during the Las Vegas shooting. Author Drah Cenedive, who is no longer presently with us, was right despite being ridiculed with his beliefs he in time was proven right.
And if Tupac’s verses were not recorded post 1996 (clearly, they were) then the next two questions need to be asked.
If Tupac did not fake his death, they why did Suge Knight generally believe Tupac recorded music post 1996?
And were there any signs from the beginning that Suge believed Tupac survived the Las Vegas shooting?
Well go to the next song that many believe was recorded post 1996 to answer those two questions. Here is another song this time on the Until the End of Time album titled, “****ing with the wrong fellow”. This is a song many also believe Tupac recorded after 1996.
Here are some lines in this song which also point to Tupac’s survival, and we will also get into whether there is a link to the Ghetto Star song.
“fellows. ****ing with the wrong fellow.
My seductive introduction be specific, still elusive
but exclusive's what I give you when I kick it, and I'm still lifted
fellows can't get with Mr. Wicked”.
Elusive: difficult to find, catch, or achieve.
“Falling legends clutching chrome three-five-seven
Puttin two bullets to they dome, wanted to die in heaven
Why call in shots nobody really as clear as me
Ain't trying to help the feds get a case for conspiracy
Murder my foes get disposed of
We all homies to the death, so my true fellows show me love”
“I was raised by thugs, schooled by killers
Learned my mathematics skills from real drug dealers
Tried to rise but they tried me
I guess they all had to die cause we tried peace
I die in these streets, blast 'til they recognize
Still do or die, all my fellows gettin high watching time fly
Then keep it poppin lot of busters wanna see me fall
I ****ed your bitch and now this new shit gonna' fade 'em all
My fellows ball made a call for some backup
for little' homies and my dogs in the black truck
Buck buck was the sound as they gats burst
No need for ambulance, baby bring the black hearse
Should've never ****ed around buster, how you figure?
Ma kin moves on the wrong fellow, is what it sounds like”.
It is known Biggie died on arrival to hospital. Eugene Deal has gone as far as saying he knew Biggie was dead before arrival to the hospital.
The producer of this song Tyrone Wrice (Hurt-M-Badd) in 2018 was interviewed by Bomb1st and he shared his thoughts on Tupac’s death, and he believes Tupac is alive.

Bomb1st Live : 2pac Producer Hurt-M-Badd and Reggie Wright
Is it a coincidence a song many people believe a song recorded post Tupac’s death has the very producer believing Tupac survived the Las Vegas shooting?
Reggie Wright Jnr doesn’t appear to like the fact that Hurt-M-Badd and others believe Tupac is alive. Reggie and others such as Greg Kading have over the years thrown shade at the theories Tupac is alive at times spoken about them disrespectfully.
What about Reggie and Greg and some of their own beliefs. Both are devout Christians. So, they believe in supernatural miracles.
Has anyone ever seen anyone fly to the clouds? Or raise people from the dead? Or virgins giving birth? Should I continue?
Or do we move the goal posts when it comes to religious beliefs?
Reggie also in the past on multiple occasions has said that a few days after Tupac had passed away, he had called Suge and told him he had found a location for Tupac’s memorial that held enough people and Suge told him, “No Reg we aint doing no funeral services for him. We’re just going to let the mystique stay out there and never speak on whether he is dead or alive and we just never going to speak on it to the universe that he is or isn’t”.

Suge Knight Said No Funeral Service If 2Pac Is Alive or Not - Reggie Jr - YouTube
Reggie claims this was just days after Tupac had passed away which would’ve been weeks before rumours that he was alive were in circulation. If this is correct, then Suge had advanced knowledge rumours Tupac was alive would be in circulation.
Did he?
On September 19th, 1996, just six days after Tupac had died, Suge Knight was interviewed by journalist Stephanie Frederic. At the 6:15 min the future of deathrow/new makaveli album is brought up. Then a minute later at the 7:40 min mark Stephanie asks why the name Makaveli for the new album and Suge suddenly becomes nervous and agitated when the prior 7 minutes he was fine.
6:15 to 8:10 min mark. 7:40 min mark Suge is visibly anxious.
(RARE) Suge Knight Interview. September 19, 1996! #FreeSUGE - YouTube
As we can see from the very beginning just 6 days post Tupac’s death in Las Vegas and before the eventual link between Tupac/Makaveli and faking his death become publicly apparent did Suge Knight already seem to know?
Here still is a potential link between the two songs released posthumously.
First verse of Ghetto Star
“I hit the weed and hope to God I can fly high
Witness my enemies die when I ride by, they shouldn’ta tried me
I send they bodies to they parents up North
With they faces laid bris and they nuts cut off
**** ’em all what I scream as I dream in tongues
**** a trick, get me rich and the bitches’ll come
Bust my gun, make ’em all scatter
Bullets to my nuts only made my balls fatter, eat a dick beyotch!
Mercy, never that, you say you comin back?
Bring it on, fo’ whoever strapped”
3rd verse of ****ing with the wrong fellow,
Tried to rise but they tried me
I guess they all had to die 'cause we tried peace
I die on these streets, blast till they recognize
Still do or die all my niggaz getting high
Watching time fly, best strategiez on a way to profit
Best organize how you ride so they can't stop it
Then keep it popping, a lot of busters wanna see me fall
I ****ed your bitch and now this new shit gonna fade 'em all
My niggaz ball, made a call for some backup
The little homiez and my dawgs in a black truck
Buck buck was the sound, as their guts burst
No need for ambulance baby bring the black hurse
Shoulda never ****ed around buster”
In the two songs people believe (including Suge Knight) were recorded post 1996 Tupac refers to people “trying” him and in both songs his words are linked to Biggie and his death.
Is this another coincidence?
“I die on these streets. Blast to they recognise…still do or die?”.
Is this not what occurred in Las Vegas and can any of you do something after you die?
Tupac seems to imply he can and did.
Another coincidence?
To almost close on the music and the theory police were involved, Big Syke in 2016 also hinted that the Police knew Tupac survived the Las Vegas shooting. When asked with Mopreme present by DJVLAD, why so many people think Tupac is alive, Big Syke says, “Coz the Police is looking for him”. Syke and Mopreme can barely contain their laughter when Syke shares this.
Is this another coincidence?

Thug Life: Mopreme Details Smoking 2Pac's Ashes & Fulfilling Pac's Wishes - YouTube
One argument commonly used against the idea of Tupac being alive for so long is his own supposed ability to remain quiet for this long. In 2020, Mopreme Shakur appeared on the HHU Podcast and was asked if Tupac was still alive and he unconvincingly responded by saying, “I wish. I wish. That’s exactly what he wanted to do. Do you think he could remain quiet for this long?”
2:25 min mark to 3:20. Mopreme claims that Tupac could not remain quiet for this long, but he also admits that Tupac wanted to fake his death.
Tupac's Step Brother Mopreme Shakur ANSWERS The Question Once & For ALL IS 2Pac Still Alive?! - YouTube
Tupac post his release from prison in October 1995 and when interviewed by Tabitha Soren, Tupac answers the question himself if being quiet was in his future.
Tupac, “In jail it’s a whole different thing how we should be in life. Being humble. I think boasting is a character defect that is in me and in a lot of people. I think being humble is good and I got that from being in jail where you don’t talk as much and that is going to help me in everything I do. Even me”.

Tupac answered this question post his release from prison. So, this idea that Tupac could not remain quiet is not as strong as people seem to think considering Tupac said the exact opposite post his release from prison.
To some of Mopreme’s other comments over the years. Following the arrest of Keffe D in 2023, Mopreme was interviewed by the Art of Dialogue. Regarding the arrest and further investigation, Mopreme makes the following comments, “It will be interesting to see if the feds chime in here. Crooked cops were involved”.
Art asks Mopreme to elaborate and to give more details and Mopreme gives nothing other than saying, “Even on that night I think some bicycle cops pulled them over. I dunno. I dunno”.
Mopreme gives a definitive answer and then when asked to elaborate says nothing but, “I think” and “I dunno”.

"Crooked Cops Were Involved in 2Pac’s Murder" Mopreme Shakur On Keefe D’s Arrest.
As already noted through the Ghetto star song and Suge’s own beliefs about this record we can again see a connection between the feds/crooked cops being tied to Tupac’s case from people within his close inner circle.
If there was a federal conspiracy like Tupac surviving and crooked cops being involved, then the feds would be involved.
Further in 2015 when interviewed by Vlad, Mopreme when asked why the Tupac case never went to trial added the following, “Its Las Vegas. It’s a lot of power. All those parties is a lot of power. Power corrupts. The story is too thick, dark and intricate to unravel…maybe someday people will be amazed”.

MOPREME, TUPAC'S BROTHER ON STILL BEING ALIVE & IF PAC WOULD LIKE COPS TELLING THEIR STORY - YouTube
What can we learn from the various things Mopreme has said over the years and where is the likely conclusion?
From the beginning post Tupac’s death and the theories that he was alive were linked to his eventual return. The dates of 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2014 were dates that many looked to as dates he would be returning. In 2018 hip hop writer/journalist Thomas Hobbs wrote an article about the theories involving Tupac’s death, beliefs that he is alive and his eventual return. It is updated up until 2024 and titled, “Why the Tupac Lives Conspiracy refuses to Die in 2024”. Hobbs suggests that deathrow/Suge Knight and Tupac’s mother Afeni Shakur decided that furthering the idea that Tupac was alive would be good for marketing as it would boost record sales. As well as claiming Tupac’s lyrics are easily misunderstood, and this has furthered the theories that he is alive. The song “Ain’t Hard 2 Find” which was released on the “All Eyez on me” album released in February 1996 to some is misunderstood and that this song was in reference to Tupac’s shooting in NY opposed to the one in Las Vegas.
While claiming theorists have misunderstood certain Tupac lyrics, it appears Hobbs himself has misunderstood them as the song is neither referring to either shooting. But more of Tupac’s thoughts in that current moment. It is no surprise that only post his release from prison did Tupac begin to write such vivid lyrics about being alive while the world thought he was dead not long after becoming familiar with Niccolo Machiavelli. In the same album on the song, “No more pain” these words are also said, “When I die, I want to be a living legend, affiliated with this game with no more pain”. Then we have the posthumous releases which according to theorists like Hobbs were all recorded by September 7th of 1996. The same songs such as Ghetto Star where even Suge Knight seems to “confuse” them and himself believe they were recorded post 1996.
Hobbs a believing Tupac alive theorist himself at one point sincerely believed that Tupac would return due to the numerology and dates that related to Tupac’s death and in 2003, was disappointed when Tupac did not return. While again claiming theorists have misunderstood Tupac’s lyrics, Hobbs has again misunderstood Tupac’s words and lyrics.
The prevailing theory behind Tupac being alive is that most if not all of it was planned…including Tupac’s proposed “return dates”.
Suge Knight, Reggie Wright Jnr, Gloria Cox, The Outlawz and many others are all on record…multiple times as is Tupac himself both in interviews and his songs about a) His desire to not get shot again b) His desire to not return to prison
If Tupac survived the Las Vegas shooting, not only did he survive getting shot again but he would also be returning to prison. So, the two nightmare scenarios that he dreaded were both close to being realities.
Tupac for the outro on the Better Dayz album released in November 2002 which we can now be sure had songs recorded post 1996 answered the very question whether he would be returning or not.
His words were, “Expect me like You expect Jesus to Come Back. Expect me, I’m coming”. These words no doubt further put fuel to the fire when first heard in 2002 that Tupac would return though Jesus has not come back and it’s been 2000 years so Tupac was in essence saying he was not coming back considering the beliefs of proposed dates his “return” would be taking place.
And why would Tupac come back if the purpose of leaving was to avoid jail time when returning he’d also now have an extra charge?
Tupac’s lyrics included these recorded in 1996…
Street Fame – Lyrics
“Hoping the spies never find me”.
Made fellows – Lyrics
“Getting Lessons from fellows in penitentiaries
Game when applied help me survive several centuries”.
Ballad of a Dead Soulja - Lyrics
“Tryin to see me in chains shit
Them fellows will never breathe again
Before they put me in a cell
They’ll see me in hell”.
When looked at critically and not emotionally we can see a lot of these supposed objections to the theories linking Tupac surviving are not that strong especially when it comes to his “return dates”.
Lyrics, Tupac’s time of death, Deathrow/Afeni fuelling the rumours, supposed return dates are not what made people initially think he had survived.
It was issues relating to both his stay in hospital which initially was expected to survive and of course, the secret and rushed postmortem activities which we can now see were done for an obvious reason like people initially expected they were. People’s initial impressions are usually correct.
Everything else only was unintentionally or intentionally at times only an add coincidentally or not.
Tupac did not tell the doctor to list his death at 4:03pm it just coincidentally was that way, though I guess since originally theorists believed so, they then expected everything else was somehow connected to numerology including his “return dates”.
Who Killed Tupac? New Details About the Conspiracy in 2024
To conclude, in February of 2026, the trial that no one thought we’d see will take place. Nearly 30 years after the shooting in Las Vegas. And we can only thank Keffe D’s ego led big mouth. In one of his many interviews, he downplayed Tupac’s importance in comparison to his story and said the following, “It’s bigger than Tupac homie. This aint all about Tupac this is all about me”.
Introduction.
Keefe D- Full Interview
In another one of his many interviews where he admits his own involvement in the murder, he also questions whether Tupac is dead, and he sources Suge Knight when considering this possibility. We will never see a case like this in our lifetime. The suspect sourcing the other witness and questioning if the victim is still alive 20+ years after the victim had “passed away” and using the words of the other witness when doing so. Unprecedented.

Suge Knight being the only other witness present with Tupac during the shooting has had a lot to say since October 2023. However, his first line of communication post Keffe’s arrest was the following, “Well surprise number one because I never thought Keffe D would ever be arrested nor do I want him to be arrested. Why am I going to go on a witness stand and testify for what?”.
When asked about the specific details of the shooting such as who pulled the trigger, Suge interestingly added, “There were only two people in the car. Pac not finna tell you the story. I’m not finna tell you the story”.

Suge Knight Speaks Out on Keefe D Arrest | TMZ Live - YouTube
Keffe D whether on the outside or in the inside his ego, stupidity and humiliating antics are always on show and on camera. If it not being involved in altercations with other inmates while awaiting trial for the biggest murder case according to him in “Las Vegas history” it is even more emphasized with his gloating of words of the altercation to others in phone calls, “I get dirty dude. Dog handles his business”. Then through a change of heart it is showing his “softer side” crying on international television and expressing his sadness about not seeing his family anymore and admitting he was not involved and instead pointing the finger at another individual (Reggie Wright Jnr) and claiming he was involved when in prior interviews he’s also accused him of being involved in the Biggie murder.

Reggie Wright Jr Predicted What Would Happen to Keefe D Over A Year Ago! - YouTube
As of August 14th, 2025, Keffe D has a new defence team as he has tossed out Carl Arnold and gotten in Robert Draskovich and Michael Pandullo. Both are new, and this is already apparent with Draskovich referencing and being in communication with none other than RJ Bond and claiming he is “knowledgeable”. The same RJ Bond, Keffe D once claimed he should sue. The same RJ Bond who has been promoting himself and his theories for the past 20 years and still 20 years later, nothing. The same RJ Bond who must lie on others who have ties to this case to further generate viewers and to minimize competition which highlights his impure intentions. The new attorneys better get accustomed with this case soon as of this moment they appear to be going nowhere. As one “knowledgeable” individual connected to this case once said, “If you don’t know where you are going any road will you get there”. If their cluelessness wasn’t obvious enough with whom they’re already aligned with, it is even further highlighted with their comments about the various theories tied to this case and some of their thoughts on them, “we’ve heard multiple alternative suspects. I mean some of these are more credible than others. I mean there have been so many theories about this case I mean some people still believe Tupac is alive. We don’t believe that by the way”.

[FULL PRESSER] New attorneys in 'Keefe D' Davis' case speak to media five months ahead of trial date - YouTube
Kevin Manning, Brent Becker and Mike Franks using deceit pushed the Tupac case to the side 30 years ago due to their involvement in a conspiracy.
29 years later it will all be present in Las Vegas in February 2026 when Clark County District attorney’s Marc DiGiacomo and Binu Pilal will use images of Tupacs “autopsy” during the trial and presentation unbeknownst to all present those images are truly not what they appear to be.
29 years earlier within weeks of Tupac’s death in September of 1996, rumours he was alive were in circulation. They were not just in circulation but contemporaries of Tupac like Chuck D helped bring rise to the rumours in the first place. Such was the rise of the rumours most Tupac fans and the public believed. Eventual return dates were given with even the Guardian coming in on such rumours with their very own article on the issue in 2007.
Tupac's second coming | Music | The Guardian
18 years later the belief in the unlikely but not improbable has waned mostly due to time and other factors which can be explained. One being the belief that Tupac was supposed to “Return” at a given date to fulfill the prophecy of faking and his death and returning which examined critically we can see was never likely at all. But most importantly what time has shown is the belief itself has been able and is able to hold itself in front all its supposed “obstacles”. Even with an impending murder trial, the theory still holds still and true.
To make sense of this case and the confusion surrounding it with the truth being present and lingering from the very beginning and enduring to this day while also being still “elusive” as Tupac may very well be at 54 years of age, it’s only fitting we turn to his words to explain it away. He seemed to hold an ability to predict a lot of things though as theorists who tell it and claim he did not survive the September 7th, 1996, shooting in Las Vegas, Tupac seemed to predict everything except September 7th, 1996, and the six days that followed.
His very last words on live video for the world to see and hear just before and on the night, he got shot after Mike Tyson had beat Bruce Sheldon.
“All those who come out of Jail got Good Luck”.

To theorists who see it a little differently September 7th, 1996, was not the end but just the beginning and we all are living witnesses to it.
