Sadly, Tupac Shakur Is Not Alive And Hanging With Beyonce: Tupac Hoax Takes Over Web
Social media is abuzz with news that Tupac Shakur is alive and hanging out with celebs like Beyonce. The rumor began when a satire publication, Huzler, posted an article stating that Tupac was finally coming out of hiding.
The article on Huzler states:
“Tupac Shakur who was supposedly killed at the age of 25 is now admitting he has been hiding this whole time. It was Shakur who in 1996 was reportedly attending a special event in Las Vegas, the Mike Tyson-Benson fight, and then afterwards was brutally murdered. A day or so later he is autopsied, then quickly cremated. There is no funeral. Nor is there any record of a tribute or memorial. Now we know exactly why it was because Tupac Shakur was never killed it is unclear why he has been hiding. This story is still under development but Tupac has already been spotted with Celebrities.”
Unfortunately for Tupac fans around the world, the article is simply satire. Huzler describes itself as the following in a disclaimer at the bottom of the page:
“Huzlers.com is a combination of real shocking news and satire news to keep its visitors in a state of disbelief.”
However, that hasn’t stopped Tupac fans from falling for the fake news story. Check out some of the tweets fans have been posting in wake of the satire report.
