Tupac Alive? New Reports Surface that Rapper Paid Millions to Fake His Own Death

Tupac (2pac) Shakur, the 90's rap sensation who was reportedly killed in 1996 is alive, claims one former cop.

According to Hollywood Life, David Myers who is in medically critical condition claimed that he was paid $ 1.5 million to help Tupac fake his death. Myers also claimed that Suge Knight, the record producer who charted the success of many rappers including Tupac, had a big hand to play in helping the rapper fake his own death.

A video emerged last week that purportedly shows Knight riddling viewers with claims that Tupac faked his own. In the video, knight says Tupac's code name was Makeveli, [inspired by Niccolò Machiavelli, the Italian strategist who is said to have the advocated faking one's death at the age of 25 and return 18 years later], but does not explicitly mention the rapper is alive.

Shakur was 25 when he 'died' on September 13. He should have returned last year when aged 43, if Machiavelli's idea was his guidance.

That however has not stopped conspiracy theories from doing rounds. Numerous reports quoting David Myers suggest that the rapper payed millions and got nearly 30 people to help him fake his own death. He may have paid $ 50,000 just to get a body double to take his place in the morgue, Myers is said to have claimed.
