According to officials, Afeni Shakur Davis, the mother of legendary rap artist Tupac Shakur, died Monday night at the age of 69. The Marin County Sheriff's Office said that Davis died in a hospital after deputies responded to a report of possible cardiac arrest at her home in Sausalito, California around 9 P.M. Davis' influence on Tupac appeared in songs such as his 1995 Billboard hit "Dear Mama," a tribute that describes his love and respect for his mother. Davis is survived by her daughter, Sekyiwa Shakur.
