Tupac Shakur

was gunned down more than two decades ago, but former boxer Mike Tyson still

feels guilty about his death.

Tyson

explained that the rapper had been in Las Vegas in September 1996 to see him

fight Bruce Seldon.

He said that

after the entertainer was killed, he felt guilty because he had asked him to

attend the event.

“It was a

really bad day when that happened….it was really bad,” Tyson said in a recent

interview with Zab Judah on Vlad TV.

“I felt a

little guilty about him coming to the fight … me pressuring him (saying) ‘Hey

you wanna bring the tape, don’t forget the tape.”

He explained

that he wanted to walk to the ring to the tune of a customised track from Tupac.

Tyson said

that he was even supposed to meet up with the rapper at 662 nightclub but

decided to go home instead because he had a newborn and wanted to spend time

with his family.

Sadly, Tupac

was killed on his way to the club. Reports are that a car pulled up beside the

vehicle the rapper was travelling in while they were at a stoplight and opened

fire. The entertainer was hit four times.

He was taken

to the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada where he was put on life

support. However, he succumbed to his injuries six days later on September 13,

1996.
