Afeni Shakur, the mother of Hip Hop luminary Tupac Shakur, has died at the age of 69, according to the New York Daily News.
The publication reports that deputies from San Francisco’s Marin County responded to Shakur’s home in Sausalito, California on Monday night (May 2) after she suffered what’s being reported as a possible cardiac arrest. She was subsequently taken to a nearby hospital but later died just before 22:30 local time.
The Marin County Sheriff’s Coroner’s Office are set to lead the investigation to determine the cause and manner of Shakur’s death.
Afeni Shakur — born January 10, 1947 — served as the inspiration for much of Tupac’s musical material, perhaps most notably the rapper’s 1995 song, “Dear Mama.”
Following her son’s death in September of 1996, Afeni founded the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts in Stone Mountain, Georgia.
Last July, Eminem is said to have penned a letter to Afeni Shakur thanking her for the influence that she has had on his life. In addition, the Detroit rapper also detailed how her son inspired and encouraged him throughout his difficult upbringing.
In March, Afeni Shakur filed for divorce from her husband of 12 years, Gus Davis.
HipHopDX extends its condolences to the family and friends of Afeni Shakur.

Killed her clone…made a heart attack..kinda like bernie mac thing… rip tell us if heaven gotta ghetto
R.I.p….I was really taken by shock when I read this….she was not only 2pacs mother but she was also a Panther, a revolutionary, a queen who fought in the trenches for us blacks regardless of her flaws…she was like a modern day hariett Tubmans….R.I.P. queen I love u and miss u…we’ll never have another woman like her again
respect these nuts hoe..She did what Pac would have wanted her to do which was live well off his legacy…wouldn’t you want the same for your mother?…better yet fuck your mother…she ain’t half the woman afeni was
Now she can finally be with her son again. May she rest peacefully.
Rip
R.I.P. Afeni Shakur. Strong black woman and Panther. You are now with your son making great poetry and music together. May God continue to bless both of you in Heaven and continue to bless your family here on earth during this difficult time.
Son. Chill fam. Not the time to joke. Get off the internet & give love to your mom.
Eff him yes… But all due respect to all our mothers man.. This is the internet & he is typing behind the keyboard. He know he won’t be seen for his comments so he is safe. We as a people w/ half a brain don’t belong on roach infested sites like this one. Where a mother can pass away & comments like this can still come out. Like Pac said “gotta make changes”
you buggin, there is never a time for respect huh, any chance someone gets, reguardless the matter someone has to be disrespectful, can for once we just give the proper respect to someone, someone dying is not a time to speak out against them, if thats how you felt, you should of said it earlier before this happened. But now that she is gone you want to speak up, coward statement, coward move my friend, your better than that an i dont even know you
It’sa shame that she died with out ever finding the lame ass fu$#rs that killed her son but at they are together now in thugs mansion R.I.P AFENI N TUPAC SHAKUR you will b missed
she was well aware that diddy and Jimmy henchmen had Pac killed
she was well aware that diddy and Jimmy henchmen had Pac killed
She knew, just like everyone else in his circles. 2pac was killed over some dumb ass gang banging retaliation for stomping out Orlando Anderson. I’m sure Suge Knight told her what was up.
The worse part is that the guy she was divorcing will probably get all Tupac’s money.
They stomped him because he took someone from Death Row’s chain a while back, and they knew he was a Crip, probably there to kill him.

Once again just like the other post you posted about me, May the Lord Forgive you for making fun of others mourning and difficult times. You will pay for every wicked word you have spoke in hate and in disgusting humor. Be blessed! 🙂
Nice. You are acting like your going to live forever. Question? Who are you to judge anyone, you have no faults right? Nothing?
Matter of fact I take it back. Judge all you want to whoever you want. It’s not you we should respect. It’s your mother. Give thanks to your mother. You only have one.
I finally understand // for a woman it ain’t easy tryin to raise a man // You always was committed // A poor single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did it // There’s no way I can pay you back // But the plan is to show you that I understand // You are appreciated
R.I.P Afeni Shakur

does anybody ever fall for this? like seriously, who is stupid enough?
Pac was killed by the CIA don’t fall for the Gang stuff, he was a threat because blacks followed him and he wanted to make some changes around the hood and openly spoke about the corrupt system and his panther following. He was the closest thing to a leader for my generation so they had to kill em. There is a reason why J Jackson and Al Sharpton are still alive. They are no threat for change or an uprising.
And u really gotta b fucken kidding me!! Stay in Vegas were u belong. U don’t know shit about la streets or gangs on the west coast! PAC was heavy in the game, PAC was heavy in Compton. U go tell that to a couple of MoB Piru’s in Compton and the’ll slap the shit out of u!! From Pacoima to Compton is where it’s at stay in ur lane!! Let the man and his mother rip homie!! U don’t know. CIA did have a eye on him. But they didn’t kill him, they let la gangs do there dirty work like aways!!!
Your a stupid ass!! Your fucken name say’s it all!!!
2 + 2 + 3 + 0 = 7
Well done you I knew you could do it 🙂
The mother of a legend. May she rest in peace.
R.I.P to a real mother of a real legend
Damn…
R.I.P. Dear Mama

May God bless the First lady of Hip Hop Afeni Shakur and her family as they go through this time losing this great, great woman. I say first lady because you ask anyone when it comes to hip hop artist when they talk about 2Pac they mention Afeni and give her love. I don’t know another artist outside of 2Pac and probably Biggie mom do they do that. The adversary “author of death” sucks
R.I.P. to Mother Shakur. She’s with her son now where every day is Mother’s Day
