Tupac’s alleged murderer sentenced to life imprisonment on drug charges

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West may be blissfully engaged — but they reportedly plan to protect their assets before walking down the aisle.

The happy couple stepped out Thursday at the Dream for Future Africa Foundation Gala, which honored Vogue Italia Editor-In-Chief Franca Sozzani, in their first public appearance since West popped the question earlier in the week.

“I’m extremely happy. It’s where I am at in my life and I hope people can see that because it’s what’s going on with me right now,” Kardashian said.

The 33-year-old reality starlet also dished details on her lavish 15-carat Lorraine Schwartz ring, explaining the stunning piece of jewelry has not left her finger.

“It’s been on all the time,” she told E!. “It’s been on when I’m at the gym. It’s been on everywhere.”

“You’re a very intelligent and capable person and you chose this life,” Gleeson added.

Rosemond, 48, who declined to speak, faces trial next month on murder-for-hire charges in Manhattan Federal Court for ordering the killing of an associate of rapper 50 Cent suspected of slapping Rosemond’s son. Rosemond has denied he ordered the hit on Shakur in a Manhattan recording studio.

Rosemond supervised a crew who shipped thousands of kilograms of coke from California to New York City hidden inside music equipment cases.

But Rosemond also maintained a wildly successful business managing the careers of rapper The Game and actor Michael K. Williams of “The Wire” and “Boardwalk Empire” fame, and had business dealings with Rev. Al Sharpton, Sean (Diddy) Combs and Wyclef Jean

But all that is gone now as Rosemond, who once owned penthouses in Brooklyn and Los Angeles, forfeited $10 million to the government as the illicit proceeds of his drug dealing.

Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch called him a “thug in a suit.”

“Today’s life sentence is a fitting end to the ‘Henchman’s’ two-faced machinations,” Lynch said.

The judge rejected Rosemond’s bizarre bid for a new trial based, in part, on the claim that a juror interviewed after he was convicted claimed to have read on the Internet about Rosemond’s alleged involvement in the Shakur murder.
