Jaycee Shakur is an American social media star and businesswoman born between 1993 and 1996. Jaycee Shakur claims to be Tupac’s daughter, but this has never been confirmed as true.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jaycee came up with claims that she is Tupac\u2019s daughter in July 2021, two and half decades after the legendary American rap artist died. Her claims sparked a lot of debate on social media which has raged on to date. While a faction of the late rap artist\u2019s fanbase found it difficult to believe, many others concerned themselves with coming up with some information that might lend credence to her claims.<\/p>\n

When Was Jaycee Shakur Born?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jaycee Shakur\u2019s exact date of birth is not known, but online sources speculate that her year of birth falls between 1993 and 1996. She was born in the city of New York, which makes her an American by nationality, however, her ethnic background is Black American.<\/p>\n

Nothing has been said about her siblings, but the New York native follows the Christian religion. If her speculated year of birth is anything to go by, then Jaycee should be in her late twenties.<\/p>\n

There are no academic records in the youngster\u2019s name, but at her current age, she must have completed her academic pursuits. Reports said she first joined a community college in California after high school graduation and later transferred to a university to study psychology.<\/p>\n

Is Jaycee Shakur Really Tupac’s Daughter?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jaycee first came to prominence on 20 July 2021 when she took to her TikTok page to share a video where she claimed to be the daughter of the late American rapper Tupac Shakur. Needless to say, the cryptic video sparked a lot of curiosity in the internet space, and before long, it accumulated millions of views.<\/p>\n

As expected, the video revived the latent debates among Tupac\u2019s fans and other netizens who went to dig up hordes of mysteries and theories associated with the late rapper. Amid the chaos, the biggest question was whether Jaycee Shakur\u2019s claims were true or false.<\/p>\n

The fact that Jaycee didn\u2019t bother to provide any concrete evidence to convince people that her claims are true made many dismiss her video as a publicity stunt to get unmerited attention. However, there are still people who actually believed that it may be true.<\/p>\n

There is Some Evidence Suggesting that Tupac Might Have Had a Daughter<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As earlier mentioned, Jaycee\u2019s TikTok video sent fans digging, and before long, some tale-tale signs suggesting that there might be some truth in her claims started emerging.<\/p>\n

A childhood image of Jaycee and Tupac, captioned \u201cFather & Daughter\u2019\u201d surfaced on the 20th of August. The image was shared by Jaycee via her Instagram handle.<\/p>\n

There was also an old picture of Tupac and his mum, Afeni Shakur, where Afeni Shakur was seen carrying a little girl, which many have assumed to be Jaycee. However, there is nothing to prove that the baby was actually Jaycee; it could have been one of Afeni\u2019s grandchildren. In another picture, Tupac was seen holding a baby girl in his arms.<\/p>\n

We must not also forget to mention the line sung by Busta Rhymes in his 1997 album entitled When Disaster Strikes. The verse goes, \u201cTupac: soldier, warrior, may Allah bless your family, your daughter, her mother, your mother (Afeni Shakur)\u201d. His words obviously promoted the idea that the late Tupac may have sired a daughter before his death.<\/p>\n

JayCee’s Claims Remain Unproven Though\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tupac’s family members have never bothered to react to Jaycee’s claims which shows that it doesn’t have any substance.<\/p>\n

Now, the question that is yet to be answered is, if Tupac knew he had a daughter, why did he will all his wealth to Afeni, his mother, and never made provisions for Jaycee Shakur? Even after Afeni\u2019s demise in 2016, her daughter, Sekwiya, got the entire fortune.<\/p>\n

Until the contrary is proven, Jaycee Shakur is not Tupac Shakur’s daughter. It is on record that Tupac Shakur never had a daughter or even any child during his lifetime.<\/p>\n

About Jaycee Shakur’s Alleged Father, Tupac Shakur<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Tupac Shakur was one of the greatest rappers to ever come out of Harlem, New York. Born on the 17th of June 1971, he was the son of Afeni Shaku and Billy Garland.<\/p>\n

He takes credit for developing the 1990s gangsta-rap culture. As a musician, he sold millions of records and also acted in a good number of movies like Juice<\/em> (1992), Poetic Justice, Gridlock’d, Gang Related<\/em>, and more before his demise.<\/p>\n

He died after being shot in a hit-and-run assault in Las Vegas, Nevada, by an unknown attacker. His music and legacy remain evergreen to date.<\/p>\n

Who is Jaycee’s Mother?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jaycee Shakur only deemed it necessary to reveal herself as Tupac\u2019s daughter, but the social media star deliberately avoided mentioning her mother\u2019s name. Thus, while the debate was raging on about the authenticity of her claims to be the rap idol\u2019s daughter, another branch of the argument dealt with the identity of the woman who brought her into this world.<\/p>\n

Initially, people speculated that it might be Tupac\u2019s wife, Keisha Morris, whom he married a few months before his death, however, the duo didn\u2019t live together long enough to have kids. In fact, Keisha already quit the marriage before the gory incident that took the New Yorker\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

With that said, the question, \u201cWho is Jaycee Shakur\u2019s mum still begs for an answer\u201d<\/p>\n

Jaycee is a Businesswoman and Social Media Star<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jaycee is a social media star with accounts on several platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and more. She is also a businesswoman with a clothing line under her belt.<\/p>\n

TikTok is her most Popular Social Media Account<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Jaycee Shakur’s Instagram Handle is Set to Private<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Jaycee Shakur can be found @boog_18 on Instagram with over 15k followers and 24 posts. Perhaps the reason she lacks followers on IG is that she set her handle to private; you must follow before you can see her uploads.<\/p>\n

She is Active on Twitter<\/strong><\/h3>\n
