What was the life behind the man, actor, rapper and legend of Tupac Shakur?
On September 7, 1996, Tupac Shakur was shot by unknown gunmen and died September 13th.
Before his death he began to call himself Makaveli after an Italian war strategist Machiavelli, who advocated faking ones death to fool their enemies.
With this incredible coincidence, the Tupac dead or alive 7-day theory begins.
Tupac was slain seven months after “All Eyez On Me,” (1996) was released.
He was shot September 7th and died on the 13th. This information brings speculations to his album that was released after he died “The Don Killuminati: The 7-Day Theory, which was released under the pseudonym “Makaveli.” At the time of his death he was 25 years old. 2+5=7. Then it’s the coincidental time of death 4:03 and 4+3+0=7.
There are at least a hundred more reasons to make someone wonder whether or not Tupac Amaru Shakur is really dead.
But the public is not meant to wonder forever. The 7 day theory comes full circle years after the death of Tupac/Makaveli on September 13, 2003. To answer the question that has been plaguing many for the last seven years is Tupac Amaru Shakur alive?
Lorenzo Nelson a sophomore, nursing major from Gray, Louisiana said, “I don’t think he’s coming back, only one man came back and that’s Jesus.”
