Mayweather and Tupac
Mayweather said he witnessed Tupac’s death. Floyd Mayweather, the heavyweight boxing champion, has claimed that he witnessed the death of American rapper Tupac Shakur, as fresh footage shows moments before his death, according to Dailymail.
In a video posted on Thursday by Dailymail, the now-retired boxer recalls how he stayed across the street from where the rapper was killed down in September 1996.
Tupac was murdered while riding as a passenger in a BMW in Las Vegas when he was struck by four rounds which claimed his life six days later.
Dailymail reports that in the clip, Mayweather says: ‘The car pulled right here and shot Tupac at this light. The car went that way.
‘I was living right here [pointing across the intersection] when Tupac was slain in 1996, and I never informed nobody. Only those closest to me are aware.’
Tupac’s death has long been a mystery, and investigations have been ongoing for decades with no result.
The Walter J. Brown Media Archives has just published footage of Shakur speaking with a crowd on a sidewalk soon before he was shot.
