Tupac’s Legacy Extends to Record-Breaking Memorabilia Sales
Tupac has made waves in the music industry with the sale of another property. The Blast reported in July that her custom crown-shaped ring, a poignant artifact from one of her final moments before her tragic death, fetched a staggering $1.02 million at a Sotheby’s auction in New York.
Created to commemorate his deal with Death Row Records and released on bail, the crown ring has historical and sentimental value. Encrusted with diamonds and rubies, the 14-karat gold masterpiece features the words “Pac & Dada 1996,” a touching tribute to his engagement to actor Kidada Jones.
Tupac’s godmother, Yaasmyn Fula, revealed that the ring was designed by the “Poetic Justice” rapper, inspired by the crowns of medieval European kings.
According to the press release, “Reflecting his recent affinity with Niccolo Machiavelli’s political manifesto ‘The Prince’ (Tupac would begin going by “Makaveli” after reading The Prince while imprisoned), Tupac modeled his design after the crowns of European medieval kings in an ‘act of self-consecration,’ according to Fula, a celebration of survival through a tumultuous year in an often tumultuous life.”

This extraordinary sale, which set a new record for the highest value ever achieved by a hip-hop artifact at auction, is part of a special commemoration marking the 50th anniversary of the hip-hop genre.
Additionally, the auction features a treasure trove of memorabilia, including autographed letters and a demo tape of Tupac’s single “Trapped.” There are also hip-hop treasures from other influential names in the industry, such as De La Soul, Mos Def and Wu-Tang Clan.
Tupac’s Vehicle Also Hits The Auction Block
After the record-breaking auction success of the late “All Eyez on Me” rapper, another piece of his history is up for sale — a vehicle linked to one of the most famous incidents in hip-hop history.
It is reported that the BMW 7 series involved in the tragic shooting of the “Nothing but Trouble” star has appeared on the market through Celebrity Cars.
The website claims it is the first time the vehicle has been offered for sale or put on public display since his death. According to them, the car underwent a thorough restoration to pre-shoot condition, including a fresh coat of paint.
The process dealt with the bullet holes and it now boasts a replacement wheel identical to the one it had in 1996. However, owning this historic piece of artefact comes with a hefty price tag – $1,750,000. This black BMW, not owned by Tupac but driven by Suge Knight at the time of the shooting, was initially leased by Death Row Records.
