Tupac Shakur was pronounced dead after a drive-by shooting 22 years ago, but many refuse to believe he was actually killed.

Many claims suggest the rapper is still alive, with reports emerging this week that he was smuggled to Cuba with the help of Fidel Castro.

TUPAC Shakur is alive and living his best life in Malaysia, according to the son of the record boss who was with him the night he was shot.

In a video on Instagram, footage appears to show Tupac wearing a red jacket and hat.

He posted it with the caption: "Updated video from Malaysia."

And it came after Knight previously posted images of an older-looking Tupac with a present day Beyonce and 50 Cent. 

“Tupac is alive. He never left us,” he wrote while sharing the image on social media.

SUGE J KNIGHT

CONSPIRACY: Suge Knight's son posted a video of an older man who looked a lot like Tupac

And the record boss’ son also shared a claim that the Illuminati – a secret organisation believed to be in control of world events – were trying to silence his claims. 

Sharing a sinister direct message which read, "You said too much. Time for you to go," he replied.

"The truth will be out and I'm not going anywhere," he added. 

It is not the first conspiracy theory to emerge about the rapper recently, either.

Last month, the private jet that “smuggled” the rapper out of the country was revealed. 

And earlier this year, claims emerged that he could be living in Somalia. 

Tupac was gunned down in a car next to Suge Knight on September 7, 1996. 

The shooting was an act of gang retaliation, a Los Angeles Police department source told People last year.

The record boss’ links to the Mob Piro gang made Knight a target for rival gang Compton Crips. 

And it is believed Tupac closed with Crips member Orlando Anderson in Las Vegas hours before he was shot. 

The source recalled: "It was simple retaliation: you mess with one of ours, we will mess with one of yours. If Orlando had never been jumped in the hotel, they never would have killed Tupac that night.”

With hits like Dear Mama, California Love and All Eyez on Me, he was one of the biggest rappers of the 1990s.
