Afeni Shakur, the mother of rap legend, Tupac
Shakur has died aged 69.
A former member of the Black Panther died
from a possible cardiac arrest at her home in
California, according to reports.
Rolling Stone reported that the Marin County
Sheriff’s Department confirmed Shakur’s death on twitter.

The report said deputies had responded to a
report of a possible cardiac arrest at Shakur’s
home at 9:34pm on Monday. Efforts to revive
her failed and she was pronounced dead about
an hour later at the hospital.
An investigation is ongoing to determine the
exact cause of her death.
Following the shooting death of her son, Tupac
in 1996, Shakur had taken control of his estate
winning legal battles against his record label for
ownership of his huge body of unreleased
materials.
Afeni Shakur was born in 1947 with the birth
name Alice Williams. She later became a major
member of the Black Panther party and spent
time in prison while pregnant with Tupac as a
result of her activities as a Panther.
The late rapper’s Grammy nominated song Dear
Mama was a tribute to her and the sacrifices she
made in raising him.
