Years after the passing of rap icon Tupac Shakur, there have been countless alleged sightings and theories suggesting he is still alive.

Recently, a man named Michael Nice, who claims to be one of Shakur's former bodyguards, publicly stated that he had helped the rapper fake his death.

Nice claims to have faked his own death in 2018, by using a magic trick to stop his pulse. He declared that the fact that he was able to fake his own demise proves he could have done the same for the Hip-Hop Hall of Famer.

After pulling off the hoax, the alleged former bodyguard says he helped Shakur escape to Cuba with some assistance from Fidel Castro. Apparently, a hit had been put out on the rapper, and this seemed like the most sensible course of action to keep him from being murdered.

If the story is true, assuming there's no statute of limitations on hits, wouldn't it be a bad idea to reveal his whereabouts to the would-be killers?
