Tupac Shakur's rap group: 'We smoked his ashes'

Tupac Shakur's rap group The Outlawz have said that they smoked the hip-hop star's ashes after his death.

The rapper was shot dead in Las Vegas in 1996. The Outlawz members Young Noble and EDI Mean confirmed longstanding rumours to Vlad TV that they smoked Shakur's ashes at a memorial beach party.

Noble said: "Yes, it's definitely true... Had a little memorial for him with his mum and his family. We had hit the beach, threw [in] a lot of s**t he liked at the beach. Some weed, some chicken wings, he loved orange soda... Pac loved that kind of s**t, so we were giving him our own farewell."

EDI Mean suggested that the decision to smoke Shakur's ashes was what the late star would have wanted: "I came up with that s**t. If you listen to 'Black Jesus', he (Shakur) said, 'Last wishes, n**gas smoke my ashes'. That was a request that he had. Now, how serious he was about it? We took it serious (sic)."

Earlier this year, Dexter Isaac came forward saying he shot and robbed Tupac Shakur. A biopic about the rapper's life is currently being planned.
