Tupac Shakur, a legendary rapper and hip-hop artist who died way too young, is allegedly still alive.

And in Malaysia.

That is the latest baseless belief being peddled around online that is making a lot of people furrow their eyebrows -- not least the hip hop fans.

Who was Tupac?

With his brand of politically-conscious music and social activism, Tupac became famous for his outspoken attitude and feuds with other rappers.

He was tragically shot and killed in Las Vegas in 1996 at the age of 25.

To this day, the murder remains unsolved.

Resurrection

But rumours of Tupac's continued existence has persisted for many years.

Now, in 2018, one man claims the rapper wasn't murdered at all.

On Oct. 3, an Instagram user @sugejknight posted a series of bizarre photos and videos that claimed Tupac was well and alive.

The posts are by Suge Jacob Knight, who is is the son of rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight.

Marion "Suge" Knight was with Tupac on the night he was murdered.

The elder Knight is in dire straits now, having pleaded "no contest" in September 2018 to a manslaughter charge for a hit-and-run incident.

He is expected to receive a sentence of 28 years in prison.

But the younger Knight claimed that not only is Tupac alive, the Illuminati was about to get him for revealing the "truth".

To back up his story, he posted photos of Tupac supposedly posing with contemporary celebrities, like 50 Cent and Beyonce:

He later posted a video "from his Malaysian source" of a bald man wearing a red jacket. Could this be the legend himself?

Probably not.

All eyes on him

There have been no shortage of Tupac conspiracy theories and sightings over the years.

Fans pore over lyrics in his songs that seem to hint that he was planning to fake his death.

In his song Ain't Hard To Find, Tupac raps:

"I heard a rumour I died, murdered in cold blood dramatised

Pictures of me in my final stage you know Mama cried

But that was fiction, some coward got the story twisted

Like I no longer existed, mysteriously missing."

There have been rumours online that he's hiding in Somalia.

And on Oct. 2, a British man claimed that he helped to smuggle Tupac to Barbados, before he moved to Cuba.

If Tupac actually is well and alive in Malaysia, it might prompt Rihanna to join him next time.
