For many years, the hip-hop world has been plagued with conspiracy theories around the death of rapper Tupac Shakur.

However, the trial for his murder has now made public the famous artist's last words.

This occurs following the arrest of Duane "Keefe D" Davis, a member of The South Side Compton Crips, for Tupac's murder.

In September, a grand jury found sufficient evidence to indict Keefe D for the murder of Shakur.

The gang member planned to enter a not-guilty plea, according to Keefe's lawyer.

And now, specifics regarding that September 7, 1996, night in Las Vegas, Nevada, have been presented to a jury.

Alongside Shakur, E.D.I Mean (actual name Malcolm Greenidge) was a member of the rap group Outlawz.

According to court documents, Greenidge told the jury that Shakur told him to "get down" because he was terrified he would be shot by police following the incident.

Providing an explanation, Greenidge stated that Shakur hurried to the passenger side of the vehicle after being shot while he was accompanied by label owner Suge Knight. As he drove behind Knight and Shakur, Greenidge saw the shooting occur.

“[I} asked him if he was okay, how he's doing, [I was] trying to see, you know, what condition he was in,” Greenidge recollected.

According to him, Tupac's reply was: “Get on the ground, they’re going to shoot you.”

At first, Greenidge claimed, he was alone, but upon turning around, he spotted a policeman pointing a gun at him. "Get on the ground or I'll shoot you," the officer allegedly threatened to do to him.

When the prosecutor questioned Greenidge about what he did at that precise moment, he replied that he followed the officer's orders and got down.

He claimed that after that, police had taken him and several members of his group into custody.

Together with him were Frank, a security guard, and Yafeu Fula, also known as Yaki Kadafi, Tupac's cousin and one of the other Outlawz members, Katari 'Kastro' Cox.

Greenidge also said that Knight had asked paramedics to examine Shakur since he didn't seem to be moving and seemed calm.

To the jurors, Greenidge also described the minutes leading up to the shooting.

"We were on our way to Club 662. Mr. Shakur and Knight were in the car in front of us,” he said. "We approached the light. Some women drove up on the passenger side. Mr. Shakur began talking to the women.”

"We couldn't really hear what he was saying. We assumed he was probably inviting them to the club.”

"After the ladies pull off, another car pulled up beside Mr. Shakur and Mr. Knight and an arm came out of the back window and began shooting."

A few days after the incident, Shakur passed away.
