Tupac Shakur’s stepfather Mutulu Shakur released from prison after 37 years
Mutulu Shakur, legendary rapper Tupac Shakur’s stepfather has been released on parole after spending nearly 37 years in prison.
Though his earlier request for parole in 2016 and in April were denied, it was granted in October.
72-year-old Shakur who was diagnosed with stage-3 multiple myeloma, a blood cancer which can damage the immune system, bones and kidneys, will now spend his remaining days with family.
Prior to being released, he was held at a federal medical center in Lexington, Kentucky, due to his health issues.
New York Daily News reported that the U.S Bureau of Prisons determined that Shakur’s health had “significantly deteriorated,” and has rendered him “infirm of mind and body” and “no longer physically capable of committing any federal, state or local crime.”
