Young Noble, a member of the Outlawz, recently opened up about a deeply personal moment following the death of his close friend and collaborator, Tupac Shakur. In a candid revelation, he shared that during a private memorial service for Tupac in Malibu, he and fellow Outlawz members honored the late rapper in a unique and profound way.

Reflecting on their grief, Young Noble recounted how they gathered in Tupac’s bedroom, listening to an unreleased track while trying to process the loss. The song features Tupac’s haunting lyrics: “We die clutching glasses filled with liquor and blasted cremated last wishes, smoke my ashes.” This poignant line struck a chord with the group, prompting them to consider the significance of Tupac’s words.

In a moment of raw emotion, one of the members, Kaddafi, discreetly retrieved some of Tupac’s ashes from downstairs. Young Noble, feeling the weight of the occasion, rolled a blunt, sprinkling some of the ashes within. They then passed it around, viewing the act not as a morbid gesture, but as the highest honor they could bestow upon their brother in that moment of grief.

Young Noble described this act as a way to keep Tupac’s spirit alive, drawing parallels to a cultural practice he had learned about, where ashes of loved ones are shared among family as a celebration of life. For the Outlawz, this ritual was a powerful expression of love and remembrance, ensuring that Tupac would forever remain a part of them.

As news of Young Noble’s revelation circulates, it serves as a reminder of the profound bonds formed through art and friendship, showcasing the lengths to which these artists went to honor a legendary figure in hip-hop history.
