When Jada Pinkett Smith And Tupac Lip-Synced To Will Smith In A Throwback Video, She Never ‘Dreamed’ She And Smith Would Get Together

Jada Pinkett Smith has often spoken about her relationship with the late Tupac Shakur, and she brought it up again in a pair of recent Instagram posts, in which she shared a video of her and the rapper dancing and lip-syncing to, of all songs, Will Smith’s “Parents Just Don’t Understand.”

Sharing the two-minute clip on Instagram yesterday (September 20), Pinkett Smith wrote, “Here is part of the original video of Pac and I doing a terrible job at lip syncing Parents Just Don’t Understand.”

That post came shortly after another one in which Pinkett Smith shared a short passage about the clip, from her memoir Worthy. It reads, “Not in a million years would I have dreamed that the Fresh Prince and I would become, um, very acquainted. Not in a million years did I imagine three lives, their fates, would be so intertwined. And… I never would have imagined that this video would become a tangible memory, of the last time Pac and I, were simply kids together. Pac and I lip syncing Parents Just Don’t Understand by Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince during our Junior year in high school. Who would have thought?”

Keefe D Blames Diddy For Getting Him Caught Up In 2pac Murder Investigation

In recent weeks Las Vegas police have begun investigating the 1996 murder of 2pac again. Last week footage was made public of the police raiding a home which they later confirmed was connected to the murder. Now that the case is back in people’s minds, Keefe D is speaking on his long association with the murder. He explained that his association with Diddy is what started it all, first telling how the pair met. “I met him back in ’91. He was doing an Usher video. They called my hydraulics place and asked to use some low-riders. So I let them use my four and we took the car up there,” Keefe explains. “Usher danced all on the hood and window door so it was a big ole dent in it and shit. I took it up to the paint shop and they like, ‘We got to paint the whole car.’ So Puffy reimbursed me with that.”

Despite the nice gesture, Keefe D still regrets meeting Diddy. “If I wouldn’t have ever met him, I wouldn’t have ever been involved in this bullshit,” he explained. “I would’ve never met the brother. I never would’ve been involved in this bullshit. Me and Suge, we played on the same pop warner team and everything. My home boys helped put Suge in the game. It really crashed two people’s empire in one night. Mine’s for sure, Suge’s too. He made our shit go down, man… He won’t even look out or nothing. Because he pitted us against each other, which was kinda smart. We’re Crips and Suge was Bloods.”

Keefe D Opens Up About Diddy And 2pac

The rap community still has a strong affinity for 2pac as evidenced by a recent auction. A ring 2pac was wearing at one of his last public appearances broke records for being the most expensive piece of hip-hop memorabilia ever sold at auction. It ultimately sold for over $1 Million earlier this week.

Samuel L. Jackson Reminisced About The Time His Wife, LaTanya Richardson, Scolded Tupac For Swearing

Tupac is one of the most esteemed rappers in hip-hop history, which can sometimes overshadow the fact that in the years leading up to his death, he was working on a flourishing acting career. His first starring role was in 1992’s Juice, which had a cast featuring Omar Epps, Samuel L. Jackson, and LaTanya Richardson Jackson. The latter two have been married since 1980, and in a recent interview, Samuel looked back at the time LaTanya came down on Tupac for swearing.

On Sway In The Morning, Samuel told the story: “My wife was on that film, she was the chubby kid’s [Eric ‘Steel’ Thurman] mom. I guess ‘Pac was walking through a room one day and he was cussin’ somebody out. My wife grabbed him and was like, ‘Young man, you see all these women sitting in here? You can’t be in here cursin’!’ Everybody in the room was like, ‘[shocked gasp].’ And he looked at her and was like, ‘Oh, I’m sorry, ma’am.’ […] Everybody in the room was like, ‘Do you know who that was?’ She was like, ‘No! I have no idea who he was, but he shouldn’t have been cursing in front of all these women in this room.’ From that point on, every time he saw her, he was like, ‘Hey mom, how you doin’?’”
