Tupac Shakur’s £100million estate could be thrown into chaos after the death of his mum.
Afeni Shakur passed away on Tuesday aged 69 and a cause of death has not yet been released.
The rapper was shot as he cruised through Las Vegas with Death Row Record boss Marion ‘Suge’ Knight. He died six days later.
Afeni became co-executor of her son’s estate, which, according to The Sun , was estimated at being worth up to $40m (£28m) and also a library of unreleased material valued at more than $100 million (£70m).
At the time of her death, Afeni was in the middle of divorce proceedings from husband Gust Davis – who she married eight years after Tupac’s death.
According to reports, she filed divorce papers on March 18th but was negotiating proceedings after Davis requested alimony payments totalling about half of the money generated by Tupac’s estate, in addition to other assets purchased by the couple.
It is yet to be announced who will gain control over Tupac’s fortune in the absence of a will – Gust Davis or the rapper’s half-sister, Sekyiwa Shakur.
Afeni’s death was confirmed by the Marin County Sheffif’s Office in California on Tuesday, although a cause of death has not yet been released.
