Afeni Shakur, the mother of late rapper Tupac Shakur, passed away on Monday May 2nd in Northern California at the age of 69 after suffering from cardiac arrest.
The news of her death was confirmed by the Marin County Sheriff's Department who announced it via Twitter, also adding that deputies responded to a possible cardiac arrest situation at her Sausalito home yesterday and transported her to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Born Alice Faye Williams in 1947, she was a member of the Black Panthers and served 11 months in prison, during which time she was pregnant with Tupac. She served as her own defence attorney and was acquitted of multiple counts. She was released from prison shortly before her son's birth in June 1971.
May her soul RIP, Amen!
