Former Death Row Records label boss Suge Knight has suggested that rapper Tupac Shakur could still be alive.
The hip hop star – who appeared at last weekend's Coachella Festival in hologram form - was shot and killed in Las Vegas in 1996.
Knight, however, who was with him on the night of his supposed murder, has now told Los Angeles radio station KDay – via TMZ - that the hip hop star faked his own death.
Knight said: "Maybe the question is... Pac's not really dead... Pac's somewhere else." He added that "Nobody seen Tupac dead", when asked if anyone had ever seen the rapper's body after he was killed.
He went on to say: "The person who supposedly cremated Tupac... this guy got about three million dollars... personally from me... cash... and next thing I know I never heard from the guy or seen him again... he retired and left."
In October last year, an ex-LAPD detective claimed that P Diddy and Suge Knight ordered the murders of rappers Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur. Responding to the accusations, however, Diddy said: "This story is pure fiction and completely ridiculous."
