Tupac Shakur conspiracy theories have exploded online over a picture that some believe is of the rapper in 2022.
The hip hop star died in 1996 at the age of 25 after being shot in Las Vegas.
However, there was speculation that he didn’t actually die and fled to live elsewhere – and the gossip has endured.
The rumour mill cranked up again this week after a picture of Tupac sitting in a car emerged online with the caption: “This picture quality screams 2022.”
Some people pointed out that the snap could have been edited, but many still felt the image looked so clear it was hard to believe it was taken decades ago.

One person tweeted that it looked “pristine”, adding: “Too good for the era he lived.”
“How is this picture in the 90s? Someone should please explain,” said another baffled fan.
Others felt Tupac looked older than 25 in the snap, and suggested that meant it was taken when he was older.
“He is alive,” said one. “Look at this hint of grey hair.”
“He doesn’t look 25 here please… There’s something they aren’t telling us,” said another.
Many shared their theories about what they thought really happened.
“Tupac is still alive, he might be hiding in one interior African country,” said one.
“And his murder is still a mystery right, nobody knows who killed Tupac… I guess nobody actually killed the guy,” tweeted another.
“Maybe he faked his death too and is currently hiding in mainland Lagos,” someone else said.

One suspicious fan posted: “Police needs to reinvestigate the death of Tupac, with the way his new pictures are coming out everyday, it’s hard to believe he died 26 years ago.”
Another fan even said they’d seen the rapper with their own eyes.
“Man’s not dead!” they tweeted.
“Saw him in Cuba some years ago, heard he’s in the Bahamas now or some place in the Caribbean.”
