Tupac's mom. Former Black Panther Party member, black liberation fighter, rest in power

Renowned rap artist Tupac Shakur's mother passed away in Marin County late Monday night, according to the Marin County Sheriff's office.

The sheriff's office says Afeni Shakur Davis, 69, had passed via their Twitter account.

Born Alice Faye Williams, Shakur changed her name as an adult when she became a political activist and joined the Black Panther movement. She was pregnant with Tupac in 1971 and incarcerated while she and other Panthers faced conspiracy charges that were later dismissed.

Shakur was an inspiration for her son's music and oversaw his music catalog and legacy after his death.
