Tupac’s mother didn’t smoke son’s ashes
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 2 September 2011
Tupac Shakur’s mother Afeni did not smoke her son’s ashes at his memorial service. In fact, she would “never participate in smoking her son”, a family spokesperson told TMZ yesterday.
It’s an unusual statement to make, but, of course, relates to the interview EDI Mean, of Tupac-founded hip hop collective The Outlawz, gave to Vlad TV last week. It should be noted, he didn’t claim Afeni Shakur took part in any smoking of her dead son’s ashes. However, he did claim that he and the rest of the Outlawz did take the line “Last wishes, nigga smoke my ashes” in Shakur’s track ‘Black Jesus’ seriously at a beach party that followed the memorial.
Mrs Shakur’s spokesperson is pretty certain that didn’t happen either, though. They noted that EDI Mean or one of his fellow posse members “would have had to sneak the remains past the family member in charge of keeping an eye on the ashes at the memorial”.
The spokesperson said that family does not plan to take legal action against any of The Outlawz over the ashes smoking claim. Presumably because they don’t believe it actually happened.
