A prison ID owned by late rapper Tupac Shakur has been sold at a record-breaking price, making it the most expensive piece of Tupac memorabilia ever sold.
Heritage Auctions opened bidding on the ID card at $2,000. It was sold for $30,000 (£24,041) after 30 bids.
The badge was issued to Shakur on 28 February 1995 by the State of New York Department of Correctional Services.

The breakup letter is up for auction now via gottahaverockandroll.com. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to breastcancer.org.
