It seems everything connected with Tupac is worth money, as more of the deceased rapper’s memorabilia market for sale.

The black BMW Tupac was riding in when he was shot in 1996 in Las Vegas, is up for auction.

Marion “Suge” Knight was driving the infamous BMW on the Las Vegas strip, which was shot up after the Mike Tyson/Bruce Seldon championship boxing match.

The vehicle, which was sold off shortly after Tupac died on September 13, is being offered up for $1.5 million.

The sale comes several months before the release of the highly anticipated Tupac biopic “All Eyez On Me.”

The biopic, which stars Demetrius Shipp Jr. as Tupac, is due in theaters on June 25, on what would have been Tupac’s 46th birthday.

The movie has caused an avalanche of Tupac related merchandise to be auctioned off by various owners.

In January, nasty letters Tupac wrote from jail were auctioned off, and so were some love letters the rapper wrote to a sweetheart in high school.

(AllHipHop News) Popular podcaster Taxstone appeared in court yesterday (February 24), to face charges related to a deadly shooting at Irving Plaza last year.

Taxstone, born Daryl Campbell, has pleaded not guilty to federal gun charges related to the May 21, 2016 incident.

That was the day Taxstone and Troy Ave had an altercation just before a T.I. concert in a green room at the famed venue.

The two men confronted each other, shots were fired and four people, including Troy Ave, were struck by bullets.

Troy’s bodyguard and childhood friend Ronald “Banga” McPhatter” was struck in the stomach and killed during the melee, which went viral after police released footage of Troy blasting away at Taxstone in the middle of the packed venue.

Police claim Taxstone brought the 9mm Kel-Tec handgun used in the shooting to the venue since they believe an friend of Tax’s bought the gun from another person in Florida.

Investigators say both Taxstone and Troy Ave’s DNA is on the murder weapon, but neither man has been charged with murder.

However, Troy Ave faces an attempted murder charge, which he has also pleaded not guilty to.

Troy Ave is currently out on $500,000 bail, while Taxstone is still behind bars, although he could be released on bail shortly, according to his lawyer Ken Montgomery.

(AllHipHop Rumors) They say the power of imagination makes us infinite!

I hate to break it to Kodak Black like this, but it ain’t gonna happen!

Kodak Black is out here trying to shoot his shot at Ariana Grande! Someone get Mac Miller on the phone. LOL!

Get this, Kodak believes that if Ariana gives him a shot, he and Ari can be the next Jay Z and Beyonce. Boy if you don’t…..

While many are fed up with Kodak Black and his antics, there are others who love him for them. Remember this is the same guy that exposed the net when he dropped his phone in the shower, and when he IG live-streamed an orgy.

While Grande likes herself a rapper or two, Kodak Black wouldn’t exactly be her type. Now she’d definitely go for a Drake!

Who would be a more practical singer for Kodak to shoot his shot with?!

(AllHipHop News) Drake continued his habit of mass ordering fast food by requesting countless burgers after his gigs in Birmingham, England.

The “Hotline Bling” singer played two shows, bringing on special guests Lil Yachty and Giggs at the city’s Barclaycard Arena on Wednesday and Thursday, following which he treated himself and his crew to dinner from burger and craft beer specialists Original Patty Men.

The venue’s official Twitter account shared a photo of loads of wrapped burgers ready and waiting to be delivered, alongside the caption: “When @Drake calls and orders a takeaway. He means business !!”

The 30-year-old has been making quite the impression on the U.K. since he touched down as part of his Boy Meets World Tour on January 30.

After performing in Manchester, England, earlier this month the musician made the mammoth order of over $1,800 worth of Domino’s pizza, which equated to so much food that 10 staff members were needed to deliver it.

And at his gig in Leeds he left customers at Nando’s chicken restaurant hungry when he ordered $665 worth of food, with one person revealing on Twitter that Drake’s order meant they couldn’t be served.

He has also scooped a BRIT Award for International Male Solo Artist at the event in London on Wednesday, during his time in the country.
