CELEBRITY Shock

Rapper Tupac Shakur was at the height of his career when he was shot while sitting in a car in Las Vegas, allegedly by members of a California gang. Shakur was taken to hospital but sadly died from internal bleeding six days later, on September 13, 1996. While police had several well-known suspects, no one was ever charged with the high-profile murder. In the decades since his death, there have been countless theories, both conspiracy and other, as to what really happened that night. It was widely assumed that his death was ordered by rival gang the Southside Crips, with whom the Notorious B.I.G. was associated. However, most of those thought to be involved have since died violent deaths themselves. 

On July 17, 2023, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police served a search warrant at a home in nearby Henderson, Nevada, in relation to the 1996 shooting. It's an exciting sign that the unsolved case is being reexamined by investigators. Shakur was just 25 years old when he died, and to this day, he is still widely considered one of the best rappers of all time.

Celebrities are in the public eye constantly, which sometimes gives us the feeling that we actually know them. So when huge stars do something that's out of character, the whole world is taken aback. From Michael Jackson's child molestation accusations to Beyoncé and Jay Z's affair rumors, these were the most shocking celebrity scandals of our time.
