A pretty unbelievable new photograph claims to show Tupac Shakur alive and well - 20 years after the rap megastar was gunned down in Las Vegas.
According to The Sun, a picture posted on a video clip on YouTube has left shocked music fans asking if the Harlem-born rap staris really alive and living in hiding.
Tupac was shot dead in Las Vegas in 1996 in a murder which remains unsolved. The 20th anniversary of his death will occur in September.
Since his death, the music world has been flooded with conspiracy theories about who was behind the shooting and dozens of reports have claimed the controversial rap star is still alive.
The video then plays a song by rapper Kasinova Tha Don, who sounds just like the former rapper and actor. He has repeatedly refuted claims he is Tupac.
The video received a mixed reaction on YouTube.
One woman wrote: "The guy in the thumbnail looks about the right age, but I hate to see that he's wearing a bandanna."
"This isn't the nineties anymore, show me some real s***, this look like any regular old fool with a nose ring trying to pass himself off as Tupac."
Another wrote: "I can't believe it, he's really alive! My dad is going to be so happy!
Earlier this year Thereportez.com claimed Tupac was living a secret life in Cuba and an alleged photograph of the rapper emerged with pop star Rihanna, who would have been just eight at the time of his death.
