Floyd Mayweather, the heavyweight boxing champion has claimed that he witnessed the death of American rapper Tupac Shakur, as fresh footage shows moments before his death, according to Dailymail.
In a video posted on Thursday by Dailymail, the now-retired boxer recalls how he stayed across the street from where the rapper was killed in September 1996.
Tupac was riding as a passenger in a BMW in Las Vegas when he was hit by four gunshots, which took his life six days later.
According to Dailymail, Mayweather adds in the video, “the car pulled right here and shot Tupac at this light. The car drove in that direction.
“I was living right here [gesturing across the intersection] in 1996 when Tupac got killed, I ain’t ever told nobody. Only the closest people with me know,” said Mayweather.
Tupac’s death has long been a mystery, and investigations have been ongoing for decades with no result.
The Walter J. Brown Media Archives has just published footage of Shakur speaking with a crowd on a sidewalk soon before he was shot.
