Suge Knight, in a rare and candid interview, detailed the heart-wrenching final moments of Tupac Shakur’s life and added a bombshell to the unsolved mystery of who killed the rapper more than 20 years ago. Knight, who was with 2Pac in a car when he was fatally shot in Las Vegas, remembered the life-threatening moments inside the car and later in a hospital.
Knight was actually in the car with 2Pac the night of the shooting when the drive-by went down. He detailed that harrowing moment and the chaotic aftermath, explaining that he ran to assist 2Pac despite being the victim of his own gunshot wounds. “I got out and tried to tell the officers what happened while I was bleeding everywhere,” Knight said.
He went on to describe how much urgency there had been to free 2Pac from the car, despite himself also being wounded. “Also, I then was getting 2Pac out the car, even when the door was open. I had to go over there bleeding everywhere, take the seat belt off him. When we get into the ambulance, Pac is funny as f—k. He cracking jokes. I’m cracking jokes. Pac’s like, ‘S—t, when we heal up, you know what we doing,'” he recalled.

Even during such a serious situation, 2Pac’s humor was still alive. But as things seemed to be going from bad to worse, Knight remembered a moment in the hospital where 2Pac didn’t seem possible to save. He was pronounced dead on September 13, 1996, and doctors had tried to save the rapper numerous times.
Knight reportedly said that doctors had saved the rapper’s life when he was near death. But the deeply emotional Afeni Shakur would not let doctors make any further attempts to save her son. “Don’t ever do that again. If he’s having complications, don’t touch him,” Afeni told Knight, Knight recalled. “Don’t bring him back. Let him go.”
These personal words of recollection from Suge Knight offer us a rare insight into the final hours of 2Pac’s life. Ahead of an upcoming trial for Keffe D for his alleged role in 2Pac’s murder, this development hammers home just how much pain and sorrow still hovers around the legacy of one of hip-hop’s biggest legends.
