According to young Noble Tupac Shakur might have lived through the historic 1996 shooting in Las Vegas.
The former Outlawz member claimed in an interview with Art of Dialogue that Afeni Shakur made the ultimate decision while Tupac was in the hospital.
“He probably could have lived,” Noble said. “His mama said, ‘Nah.’ F### all that.’ I think he lost his finger and he was gonna lose a lung, trying to do all these surgeries.
You know how strong your mama gotta be to say, ‘Damn, he probably could make it. I don’t want my son to endure no more pain in this world. Y’all tear him down.’
“His mom said, ‘Nah, let him go. Tupac had endured enough and that kind of strength is unimaginable,” Noble recalled. “She let her son fly.”
Noble continued by saying that in search of a better life, he left his neighborhood for California. But he found tragedy after tragedy.
“Biggie dying affected us, too. I started questioning everything, like, ‘Man, maybe I should’ve stayed in school,” he said. “Maybe I made the wrong choice getting in that car with [Hussein] Fatal and Yaki [Kadafi] that day.’”
Noble also discussed The Notorious Bs murder. Me. The G. influenced him.
“Two of my friends gone, back-to-back. It was horrible—for me and for hip-hop,” Noble explained.
“He really died,” Noble said emphatically. “I saw him with tubes in his body. He wasn’t the ‘Pac with the six-pack everyone remembers.
