Tupac will have his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame almost 30 years after his death
Rapper Tupac Shakur, who died in a shootout on Las Vegas Boulevard after a boxing match featuring Mike Tyson in Las Vegas in 1996, will receive a major post-mortem honor this month, as his star is added to the famed Hollywood Walk of Fame.
To accept the honor on his behalf, Shakur’s sister Sekyiwa Shakur will be joined by Dear Mama director Allen Hughes and writer and activist Jamal Joseph.
But not everyone will be thrilled by this honor for the rapper, since beyond his status as a rap legend, Tupac has also accumulated numerous controversies and a criminal history.
A concealed weapons case and his 1995 conviction by a jury on two counts of first-degree sexual assault cast a shadow over his undeniable talent.
The rapper had spent nine months in prison for this crime, of which he claimed to be innocent, after being sentenced of over four years by a judge who described the assault as brutal.
The ceremony will take place on June 7, when Shakur’s star will be installed at 6212 Hollywood Boulevard.
The event will be broadcast live on walkoffame.com.

Man turns himself in to FBI for 44 years of unsolved murder
A man has turned himself in to the FBI in the case of an unsolved murder of a woman over 40, an event that doesn’t happen every day and has left FBI agents slightly stunned!
Authorities say they were able to solve a Boston cold case from 44 years ago after an Oregon man walked into an FBI office and confessed to killing a raping a woman in 1979. https://t.co/rmozcKzqcF
— CNN (@CNN) September 12, 2023
Upon arrival at the FBI’s Portland office, 68-year-old John Michael Irmer confessed to killing and raping a woman in Boston on October 30, 1979.
The man’s DNA, taken after his confession, matched perfectly with that collected at the scene of the murder of Susan Marcia Rose, 24, found murdered on Halloween Eve 1979, in a building then under renovation on Beacon Street.
According to CNN, the press release states that another man was falsely arrested and then found not guilty of Rose’s murder in 1981 during his trial, a procedure that must have been terrible for the victim’s family and the accused at the time.
Irmer reportedly told police he had already served more than 30 years in prison for another murder, this time committed in California, again according to CNN.
44 years after the tragic events, the family and loved ones may finally have some answers in the case of the brutal murder of Susan Marcia Rose.
