Suge Knight's son claims that Tupac Shakur is alive and living in Malaysia, publishes pictures of the "older" Tupac

This comes just weeks after a former security guard claimed to have secretly helped Tupac escape to Cuba.

Tupac Shakur is still alive and living in Malaysia, the imprisoned music magnate's son Suge Knight said in a series of social media publications including images of the rapper in recent years.

Suge J. Knight made these statements on his Instagram page, where he wrote "TUPAC IS ALIVE" and published a series of photos that claimed to show the rapper posing with 50 Cent and Beyonce. Hollywood life tracked the messages, which also included a screenshot that seemed to be between him and Tupac.

"You said to [sic] a lot, the time for you to go, "wrote the person to Knight.

"The truth will be revealed and I'm not going anywhere," Knight replied.

The images have garnered viral attention, with thousands of comments and sharing on social media. Many have asked Knight to offer stronger evidence than blurry photographs or text-based conversations without any evidence, but until now, the music mogul's son has not yet answered.

This is the second person in recent weeks to claim that Tupac Shakur is in fact still alive after simulating his death more than 20 years ago. In late September, a former security guard named Michael Nice claimed that he had helped Tupac escape to Cuba after the rapper was shot and wounded in the Las Vegas Strip in 1996. Nice claimed that Tupac had not died from the gunshot wound, as the world believed instead, he was taken to Cuba to live in safety.

The history of Nice, published by the Sun and attracted international interest, claimed that it was the Black Panthers who stepped in to save Tupac after someone hit him.

Nice claimed that he had been chosen to help bring out of the country a still injured Tupac.

"It was me, my brother, the pilot, Tupac as co-pilot and two guys from Panther in the jet," he said. "We took off and immediately knew we were safe, we felt good and it was like escaping from prison."

"We had hugs and shaking hands when we finally managed to take her to Barbados. Then my brother helped him to go to Cuba from there.

The claim of Suge Knight's son has attracted much criticism. Although many believed that Tupac Shakur might be alive and living in Malaysia, many said the photos appeared to be raw photoshops and others said that Knight just seemed to be looking for attention.
