Tupac Shakur – Lesane Parish Crooks

Yes, we all know that the rapper was known as and named Tupac Shakur as a child, but according to his death certificate, and the story behind all that, on his birth certificate he was allegedly named Lesane Parish Crooks. Pac’s mother, Afeni Shakur, was of course a member of the Black Panther Party, and her affiliation with them allegedly brought her a lot of enemies. Fearing that her son would be a target, the name was supposedly put on his birth certificate to help keep a young Pac’s identity on the low-low. She would later change his name after marrying Mutulu Shakur.
