First, I want to say it’s impossible to prove whether or not 2pac is dead. We only have our personal opinions on whether or not he faked his death, and we won't know who's right until (and if) Tupac himself comes back and proves he is still alive.

That said, there are some theories and reasons why people think he's still alive. Let's dig into those.

Top 10 Reasons Why People Think Tupac Faked His Death

When I started looking into whether or not Tupac is still alive, I was surprised to find that there was more evidence online of him faking his death than there was evidence of him being straight up dead. And when you get into all the reasons of how he faked his death, it doesn't even seem like speculation anymore, it just seems like common sense that he's still alive. Here are the top facts I found that prove he's alive.

Fact #1

When Tupac Shakur was in prison, he read a lot of books. In one of his interviews, he mentioned reading a book on Machiavelli. Niccolo Machiavelli was a 15th century Italian politician and advisor who wrote a lot of books about war. In one of them, he advocated faking your own death to fool your enemies. In fact, he himself faked his death and came back 18 years later, baffling his enemies. Many believed that Tupac was going to come back in 2014 to do the same thing that Machiavelli did. While that didn't happen, some think that this is still a possibility.

Fact #2

Shortly before Tupac's death, he changed his stage name to "Makaveli." He would only do this because he either liked the name, or because he was planning on faking his own death.

Fact #3

On the night of Tupac's death, some people say a fan had taken a picture of him with the window rolled down at a red light that showed him and Suge Knight in the car as if they were about to go off and drive, but the thing is . . . there were no keys in the car. Why would there be no keys in the car? Was that a mistake, or did they do it on purpose?
