Los Angeles (AFP) - A former gang member who had long boasted of his involvement in the murder of rap legend Tupac Shakur a quarter of a century ago pleaded not guilty in a US court on Thursday.

Tommy Hilfiger used to dress rap stars so they would "look rich." The 71-year-old designer was known for his preppy clothing in the late 1990s and decided to gift rapper Grand Puba thousands of dollars’ worth of clothes when he mentioned him on a track, which led to the demand for his fashion to be worn in the music industry, especially after late R and B star Aaliyah - who died at the age of 22 in a 2001 plane crash - took part in a photoshoot for his jeans and Snoop Dogg wore a rugby shirt on 'Saturday Night Live.' He said: "The clothes were very inspired by yachting, prep schools, Ivy Leagu...
