Las Vegas Cop Reveals Tupac’s Final Words Before His Death

Nearly 20 years after his death, we now know what Tupac’s final words were, and let’s just say they were very “Tupacian,” and proved that he fought for what he believed in up until the very end.

In a new interview, the Las Vegas police officer who first arrived on scene the night that Tupac was gunned down reveals that Pac’s final words,  before he slipped into a state of unconsciousness, was a big ‘F-ck You!’:

“So I’m looking at Tupac, and he’s trying to yell back at Suge, and I’m asking him, ‘Who shot you? What happened? Who did it?’ And he was just kind of ignoring me. He was making eye contact with me here and there, but he’s trying to yell at Suge. And I kept asking over and over, ‘Who did this? Who shot you?’ And he basically kept ignoring me. And then I saw in his face, in his movements, all of a sudden in the snap of a finger, he changed. And he went from struggling to speak, being non-cooperative, to an ‘I’m at peace’ type of thing. Just like that.”

He went from fighting to ‘I can’t do it.’ And when he made that transition, he looked at me, and he’s looking right in my eyes. And that’s when I looked at him and said one more time, ‘Who shot you?’

He looked at me and he took a breath to get the words out, and he opened his mouth, and I thought I was actually going to get some cooperation. And then the words came out: ‘F*** you.’

After that, he started gurgling and slipping out of consciousness. At that point, an ambulance showed up, and he went into unconsciousness. And as we know, Pac never regained consciousness and died six days later at the age of 25.

Chris says one of the reasons why he never revealed the information was because he didn’t want the rapper to be turned into a martyr or hero, which is, ironically, exactly how Pac is viewed today.

“The main reason I didn’t go public with this before is I didn’t want Tupac to be a martyr or hero because he told the cops ‘F*** you.’ I didn’t want to give him that. I didn’t want people to say, ‘Even when the chips were down, his life on the line, he still said “F*** you,” he still wouldn’t talk to the police.’ I didn’t want him to be a hero for that. And now enough time has passed, well, he’s a martyr anyway; he’s viewed as a hero anyway. My story, at this point, isn’t going to change any of that.”

Though harsh, Tupac’s last words were confirmation that he stood by what he believed in. He had a “f-ck the police” mentality, and police brutality was among many of the social problems addressed in his 1991 debut album, 2Pacalypse Now.
