US police search home in relation to Tupac’s 1996 murder
Police in Las Vegas have confirmed they conducted a search in connection with the murder of Tupac Shakur.
The legendary rapper and prolific figure in hip-hop was fatally shot on September 7, 1996, in a drive-by incident in Las Vegas at the age of 25.
He was shot multiple times while leaving a boxing match at the MGM Grand Hotel.
In a statement on Tuesday, the US police department confirmed that a house outside the city was searched as part of an ongoing investigation.
“LVMPD can confirm a search warrant was served in Henderson, Nevada on July 17, 2023, as part of the ongoing Tupac Shakur homicide investigation,” the statement reads.
“We will have no further comment at this time.”
The murder of Tupac remains unsolved, with no arrests made in the case. Nevertheless, the investigation has sustained public attention over the years.
“It’s a case that’s gone unsolved and hopefully one day we can change that,” Jason Johansson, Metropolitan police department Lt., told Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Tupac’s murder occurred amid a bitter feud with the Notorious B.I.G., his rap rival who himself was fatally shot six months later.
In 2017, the rapper was posthumously inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame by Snoop Dogg.
He was also honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2023, a testament to his legacy as an award-winning rapper, activist, and actor.
With over 75 million records sold worldwide, his contributions to the music industry continue to resonate with global audiences.

Spyro says he spends over N15m yearly on people who beg for help
Spyro, the Nigerian singer, has expressed frustration about the constant requests for money and gifts from people.
In a recent Instagram post, the ‘Who’s Your Guy’ hitmaker revealed that he spends “at least N100,000 on gifts” whenever he goes out, which adds up to “around N15 million per year”.
The 34-year-old also complained that people often insult him when he refuses to give them money or gifts.
He said being a celebrity in Lagos comes with immense pressure, and he feels obligated to spend money on others whenever he’s out in public.
“Really hard being a celebrity in Lagos. I told a guy I didn’t have anything and would see him the next day. He rained insults on me. Every day I step out of my house, I spend a minimum of N100k on gifts. Now let’s do the maths: let’s say I go out three times a week, that’s N300k per week, making N1.2m per month, and that’s about N15 million a year. Kilode,” he wrote.
“If I enter restaurant, billings go de wait me outside. I enter church, same thing. Enter estate, same. Carry phone enter online, na same same,” he captioned the post.
“Everybody wants to take, but nobody de give you, and nobody thinks of how you are fairing. 🤦🏾♂️ S/O to everyone of my colleagues out there going through this. Ya’ll are the real MVPs, and I celebrate you. 🙏🏾.”

Wizkid, Jada Pollock welcome third child
Wizkid and Jada Pollock, his manager, have welcomed their third child together.
The baby’s arrival was announced via a photo on Pollock’s Instagram story.
In the picture, Jada, noticeably without her baby bump, was dressed in comfortable sweatpants while holding onto a baby’s cot.
The baby’s gender, name, and date of birth, however, remain unknown.
In December, the talent manager revealed that she suffered a health scare during the first three months of her third pregnancy.
Pollock disclosed that she underwent an appendectomy. She described the period as the most terrifying experience of her life.
“At the beginning of the year, I faced the biggest fright of my life,” she wrote.
“Three months into my pregnancy, I was rushed to the hospital to have my appendix removed. Against all odds, both my baby and I made it through safely.
“Life is too short to be anything but grateful.”
Pollock, 41, and Wizkid, 34, met in 2012 when she was still managing Akon, the 51-year-old Senegalese-American singer.
The duo became friends and later lovers. They welcomed Zion Ayo-Balogun, their first child in 2017. In October 2022, Pollock announced the birth of their second child.
