It has recently been announced that the fingerprints of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G., taken from their arrest records, can be obtained for an eye-watering price of $225,000 each.

For autograph collectors, an online dealer recently listed two exceptional memorabilia pieces that feature legendary musicians' birth names, according to the Daily Mail.

The documents showcased when Tupac - Lesane Parish Crooks at birth - was sentenced to serve nine months of his 18-month to 4.5-year prison term after he was convicted of sexually assaulting a female fan.

Meanwhile, Christopher Wallace - known as Biggie Smalls and Notorious B.I.G. - had been arrested in Pennsylvania for robbery and aggravated assault.

In 1995, a dispute was reported between a concert promoter and Biggie and his entourage. This incident made it to court, and by 1997, the champion had been told to pay $41,000 as compensation. All charges of robbery against them were dropped.

In a tragic incident that shook the music world, on March 8, 1997, Tupac, the 24-year-old rapper was fatally shot by an unidentified assailant in a car.

Despite facing criminal assault charges related to the incident, justice was never served.

Tupac Items

For those die-hard Tupac fans, the collectible dealer's website has made available a page of liner notes from his last album - "The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory" - for an eye-watering $95,000.

In the liner notes of his album, Tupac Shakur made pointed comments regarding other musicians, such as Dr. Dre and Wendy Williams, and even mentioned Biggie.

Several of these songs were among the last he had produced before his untimely death on September 7, 1996.

Decades after the death of Tupac, a suspect has finally been apprehended and indicted regarding his drive-by killing.

Las Vegas law enforcement recently captured Duane "Keefe D" Davis, accusing him of murder using a deadly weapon.

The Eerie Similarities of Their Deaths

The deaths of iconic rappers Notorious B.I.G., also known as Biggie Smalls, and Tupac Shakur share eerie similarities that have fueled conspiracy theories for decades.

Both were fatally shot in drive-by shootings, Biggie in March 1997 in Los Angeles and Tupac in September 1996 in Las Vegas.

Despite the incidents occurring in different cities, the assailants in both cases remain unidentified, leading to speculation about possible connections between the murders.

The unsolved nature of these high-profile killings has added to the mystique surrounding these hip-hop legends, leaving fans and investigators alike grappling with unanswered questions and theories about their untimely demises.
