Legendary American boxer Floyd Mayweather has clarified that he never actually saw the late Tupac Shakur get murdered.
This is in relation to an old video of him from 2014 resurfacing.
In the said video, Floyd was seen testifying to the late John Singleton that he lived literally steps away from where Tupac's murder scene occurred.
"I was living right here in 1996 when Tupac was killed, I never told nobody," Mayweather was heard saying in the old video that has since then gone viral.
Taking to his Instagram story the retired boxer shared a picture of himself alongside Tupac with the title, "the rumour isn't true,"
Captioning the photo he went on to clarify a few details about the video and why people would assume he witnessed the murder.
"In 1996 when Tupac Shakur was killed, I lived in the Meridian Apartments located on Flamingo and Koval Ln., which just so happens to be the area where Tupac was shot.
I have never said I witnessed the shooting," part of his lengthy caption read.
He went on to add;
"All of these false accusations stem from me sharing the location of the shooting with John Singleton due to my familiarity of the area since I lived there.
This does not mean I witnessed Tupac’s shooting. John Singleton was making a documentary or movie about Tupac, so he reached out to me asking where Flamingo and Koval Ln was located.
John was my friend, so I showed him this location with no hesitation.," Mayweather maintained.
Finishing off he highlighted that it was just mere coincidence that he happened to live near the area of the shooting but that didn't mean he knew anything in regard to what went down on the fateful evening.
"The location of Tupac’s shooting is public knowledge and me living near there was just a coincidence.
I did not witness Tupac Shakur’s death," the last of his post read.
