Mopreme Shakur Rebukes Drake Over Alleged Tupac Death Row Chain as Authenticity Dispute Deepens

The remarks refocus attention on disputed provenance, with calls for the family to steward Pac’s belongings.

Overview

  • Mopreme Shakur said Drake should “think more about his moves” and argued Tupac’s items should remain with the family during an interview on The Latest.
  • Drake recently posted images indicating he has a Death Row–style pendant linked to Tupac, though no independent authentication has been made public.
  • Suge Knight and Wack 100 asserted the chain shown is not Tupac’s or an official Death Row piece, with Knight suggesting Drake may have been misled.
  • Complex reported the pendant was obtained from memorabilia dealer Alexander Bitar with estimates between $500,000 and $1 million, though details of the sale and provenance remain unverified.
  • Scrutiny is heightened by Drake’s earlier purchase of Tupac’s ring at Sotheby’s and his use of an AI-generated Pac voice that prompted legal action, with Kendrick Lamar previously calling for the ring’s return during a performance.
