Assata Shakur: Death of an Exile
Update: 2025-09-26
Description
Assata Shakur, Tupac's godmother and controversial Black Liberation Army figure, has died in Cuba at 78. Convicted in the 1973 murder of a New Jersey state trooper, she escaped prison and was granted asylum by Fidel Castro, remaining a fugitive despite decades of extradition attempts. A symbol of resistance for some, a wanted criminal for others, her life ignited debates about justice and activism, and her influence echoed in hip hop and beyond.
