Tupac's Friends Smoked His Cremated Ashes, Suge Knight Says

From behind bars, the former Death Row CEO recounts Shakur's final hours — and the surreal ritual that followed.

Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE from California’s Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility, where he’s serving a 28-year sentence for a 2015 fatal hit-and-run, the former Death Row Records CEO isn’t just reliving the night Shakur died — he’s revealing what happened in the hours after. Bleeding and disoriented, Knight says he made a hard U-turn and gunned the car toward Las Vegas Boulevard, two tires blown out, sirens echoing. Knight says the slain rapper's mother, Afeni Shakur, wasn’t interested in waiting — she wanted her son cremated immediately.
