Tupac’s Ashes Were Rolled Into Blunts and Smoked, Friends Claim

Suge Knight claims that the rapper’s mother also joined the peculiar ceremony

Tupac Shakur’s ashes were rolled into blunts and smoked by his friends and family, according to new claims by his former associate Suge Knight.

The unusual revelation was made to TMZ by Knight, who was with Tupac at the time he was shot in 1996, amidst the ongoing murder trial taking place in Las Vegas.

Knight claims that after he was cremated, Tupac’s mother invited friends to a Vegas hotel room where they rolled his ashes into “several” blunts and smoked them.

It followed a reported effort to have the rapper cremated quickly, with Knight telling TMZ that he bribed a funeral director with $1.2 million to cremate him overnight after being told that it could take days.

Knight claims that he did not get involved in the smoking ceremony, telling Tupac’s mother at the time that he was on probation and assumed it would be a crime to smoke someone’s ashes.

Tupac’s murder trial began on Monday, August 17, at a Las Vegas court. 63-year-old Duane "Keffe D" Davis, who is charged with Tupac’s murder, is alleged to have orchestrated the killing by prosecutors, though they do not believe that he fired the gun that shot him.

"Let's be clear, Duane Davis did not pull the trigger," Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal told the jury. "But he did plan the shooting in retaliation for the beating of his nephew."

Davis was billed as a former gang member and a ringleader by prosecutors in the opening days of the trial, though his defence claimed that there are missing police documents and "sloppy" detective work that could refute claims against him.

Is this hygienical? And don't the ashes go to the next of kin.


Don't blame this on rappers, Keith Richards snorted his father's ashes.

What was that movie where the hippie snorted up somebody’s mama’s ashes? “Honkeytonk Freeway,” that’s it.

Sounds like BS. Cremated remains consist of burned bones, not ash as most people understand ash. Temperatures in the crematorium ovens are far too hot for the kind of ash that forms in fireplaces. Those burned bones are returned to the family ground up into small particles with the consistency of beach sand - they would instantly clog up a blunt.

According to the story “Sug Knight claims that after he was cremated, Tupac’s mother invited friends to a Vegas hotel room where they rolled his ashes into “several” blunts and smoked them”

So the the mom initiated it if the story is to be believed.

When I was told he had died and people were making a big deal out of it, I had to ask “who is......two pack?” I had no idea. I still never listened to any of his (c)rap songs nor did I ever see anything he was in.

All organic matter is consumed by cremation.

No disrespect, but I don’t see any black man or woman come within a mile of a dead man.

“Tupac’s Ashes Were Rolled Into Blunts and Smoked, Friends Claim”. I bet Tupac didn’t get a toke.

That’s what I was thinking too. I have never smoked a blunt or any of that stuff, but I have smoked plenty of tobacco. I figure that mixing cremains with my Prince Albert wouldn’t work out well.

In the old country, this species would have just eaten the corpse.

Did he smoke so much weed that his ashes were worth resmoking?
