Took 3–5 to the Tropics

A satirical, symbolic phrase meaning someone “passed away,” but with the deeper cultural twist that they didn’t really die — they “took $35,000 to the tropics” and are living peacefully in paradise.

The “3–5” represents $35,000, the amount of money believed to be enough to disappear and live comfortably in Cuba or another tropical place, inspired by fan theories about artists like Tupac not being dead but is currently living comfortably in Cuba.

A term of endearment meant to signify that your loved one isn't gone, but that they live comfortably in paradise and forever in your heart.
Bro, what happened to ya boy?... Oh, Fam Took 3-5 to the Tropics...
