The Outlawz confirm in TV interview that they smoked the late rapper's ashes

It's hard to feel like this really qualifies as 'news', given that the story is over fifteen years old, but Tupac Shakur's hip-hop collective The Outlawz have confirmed the myth that they smoked the late rapper's ashes after his death in 1996.

In an interview with Vlad TV, the group's Young Noble and EDI Mean tell of their memorial party on the beach, with "Shit he liked... Some weed, some chicken wings, orange soda."

According to EDI Mean, the late rapper's wishes were communicated through the medium of his lyrics to 'Black Jesus': "Last wishes, nigga smoke my ashes".

"How serious he was about it," admitted Mr. Mean, "we took that shit serious".

Though none can quite remember the specifics, Tupac's earthly remains were apparently rolled up with Californian marijuana.
