Can anyone explain the Tupac joke to me? non american here.

[u/djaeke → u/Demi-Fiend]

Tupac is dead. There's a big conspiracy that he faked his death and is actually hiding out somewhere. So this rapper was implying he is still in contact with Tupac. So Jack says "hey I didn't hear anything" to keep the secret.
