Tupac Shakur's final words were 'F--- you' to a ex-cop, as revealed by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Officer Chris Carroll, who was the first one to arrive at the fatal drive-by Sept. 7, 1996 on the Las Vegas Strip.
Carroll told a weekly newspaper that the American rapper looked at him and took a breath to get the words out, he opened his mouth, and the cop thought he was actually going to get some cooperation but then he abused, the New York Daily News reported.
Carroll asserted that after that, Shakur started gurgling and slipping out of consciousness and at that point, an ambulance showed up, and the rapper went into unconsciousness.
The ex-cop continued saying that he didn't want Shakur to be a martyr or hero because the late musician told the cops 'F--- you' and he didn't want to give him that.
