Young Noble Reflects on 2Pac’s Final Days with Emotion

Outlawz rapper Young Noble recently opened up in a heartfelt interview with The Art of Dialogue, sharing memories of 2Pac’s final moments. Noble, who was with the iconic rapper in the hospital after he was shot in 1996, provided a firsthand account of the heartbreaking experience.

“I was there, front and center,” Noble said. “People still claim he’s alive somewhere, but I saw him in the hospital. I saw him with tubes in his body, his body swollen—not the six-pack Pac everyone knew. He really died on us.”

The conversation turned even more emotional as Noble recalled 2Pac’s mother, Afeni Shakur, making the difficult decision to remove her son from life support.

“He might have survived,” Noble explained, holding back tears.

“But his momma said, ‘Nah, fuck all that.’ He had lost a finger, he was going to lose a lung, and they wanted to do more surgeries. She didn’t want her son to suffer anymore in this world. That takes incredible strength. She didn’t say he died—she said, ‘Let my son fly.’”

Overcome with emotion, Noble eventually had to leave the interview.

Mopreme Shakur on Rumors Surrounding 2Pac’s Death

2Pac’s brother, Mopreme Shakur, also recently addressed the ongoing conspiracy theories surrounding the rapper’s death during an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored. The interview touched on long-standing rumors implicating Diddy in the 1996 shooting, fueled by a controversial 2008 Los Angeles Times article (later retracted) and comments from artists like 50 Cent and Eminem.

Morgan read Diddy’s past statement denying involvement:

“The story is a lie. Neither I nor [The Notorious B.I.G.] had any knowledge of any attack on 2Pac before, during, or after it happened.”

He then asked Mopreme if he believed the statement was truthful.

“My opinion is that I don’t believe it was a hundred percent honest,” Mopreme replied. When pressed further, he added: “Quite possibly. It’s kinda looking that way, in my opinion.”

The allegations against Diddy largely stem from statements by former gang member Duane “Keefe D” Davis, who is set to stand trial for his alleged role in 2Pac’s murder next year.

As the decades-old tragedy continues to spark debate, the reflections of those close to 2Pac, like Young Noble and Mopreme Shakur, shed light on the personal pain and unresolved questions surrounding his untimely death.
