Tupac Shakur‘s brother, Mopreme Shakur, has claimed that the rapper’s killing remained unsolved for 27 years due to his race.The iconic rapper was murdered in 1996 after being shot in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas.

Last week, Duane “Keffe D” Davis was arrested in Nevada and charged with ordering Tupac’s murder in 1996, marking a major breakthrough in the case.In an interview with Sky News, the rapper’s brother said that he believes that had Tupac been white, his murder would have not gone unsolved for so long. “Pac was a young black male and we have challenges in this country when it comes to equal justice,” he said.He continued: “That’s just the nature of the beast, it’s just the nature of the beast in America.

I’m realistic about that.”Speaking about the arrest that had been made in correlation to the murder, Mopreme said : “I was shocked, surprised, and taken aback because it’s been so long.We haven’t heard anything in 27 years.

My daughter is 27 years old, so any accountability is good at this point.”Shakur died at the age of 25 on September 13, 1996, several days after he was shot on September 7.
