A revelation has surfaced from a police officer who was present during Tupac’s tragic shooting incident, claiming that the rapper’s last words were reported to be ‘f–k you’.
The former Las Vegas Metropolitan PD officer, Chris Carroll, who was by Tupac’s side when he succumbed to a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas in 1996, disclosed that the rapper, in his final moments, lay in his arms and muttered the expletive in response to Carroll’s persistent inquiry of “Who shot you?

Following this exchange, Tupac lost consciousness and was rushed to the hospital where he eventually passed away.
The mystery surrounding his murder remains unsolved to this day.
In a different light, a new stage production inspired by Tupac Shakur’s lyrical compositions, titled ‘Holler If Ya Hear Me’, is scheduled to premiere next month in New York City.
Renowned musician, poet, actor, and writer Saul Williams is set to headline the non-biographical show, which draws inspiration from the late rapper’s musical legacy.
The Palace Theater in New York will serve as the venue for this innovative presentation.
The lead role of John will be portrayed by Williams, alongside a talented ensemble including Broadway performers like Christopher Jackson, Tony Award recipient Tonya Pinkins, Saycon Sengbloh, Ben Thompson, and John Earl Jelks.
With a whopping budget of $8 million (£4.8 million), the musical will showcase a selection of iconic tracks from Tupac’s repertoire, such as ‘California Love’, ‘Keep Ya Head Up’, ‘Me Against The World’, and the titular track ‘Holler If Ya Hear Me’.
Discussing his involvement in the production with NME, Williams mentioned that he recently joined the cast, contrasting with the rest of the team that had been collaborating with the director for four years.
He shared that he was initially occupied with his upcoming album ‘Martin Luther King’ before receiving the offer.
Despite the interruption to his music projects, Williams expressed his excitement about contributing to the pioneering hip hop musical hitting Broadway, a dream he has cherished since adolescence.
The narrative of ‘Holler If Ya Hear Me’, penned by Todd Kreidler, diverges from a biographical account of Tupac’s life, instead delving into the thematic core of his musical artistry.
