Jada Pinkett Smith hasn’t been holding back while promoting her new memoir. The actress recently sat down for an interview with Jay Shetty for his podcast On Purpose, during which she had some thoughts about the possibility of Tupac and Will Smith’s becoming pals.

“If ‘Pac had survived Vegas, he and Will would’ve ended up being really good friends,” Pinkett Smith said. “They would’ve had a lot to offer each other. Funny enough, Will was the only person when I started dating him, ‘Pac never said anything.”

“If I dated anybody else, ‘Pac had something to say,” she added. “He didn’t think anybody was good enough, which I understand. But when I started dating Will, he didn’t say anything. Which meant to me, in his own way, he approved. He didn’t say anything. Not a word, which made me believe he approved.”

Despite this, during another recent stop where Pinkett Smith talked to Fat Joe (via HipHopDX), she made it clear that she and Tupac were never a legit couple. “People make too many assumptions because I be trying to keep stuff close to the chest,” she noted. “We were never together. And people when they read the book, they’ll see how deep our friendship was.”

Jada Pinkett Smith Claims Tupac Would Have Divorced Her

by

For the entire past week, the news cycle has been mostly dominated by Jada Pinkett Smith. She’s done a series of bombshell interviews to promote her new memoir and it’s created an extensive amount of public drama. While much of that has come from her ongoing relationship with Will Smith, she’s also shared plenty of details dating back years. Some of which have gone all the way back to her relationship with Tupac in the 90s.

One of the first big revelations she made was calling Tupac her “soulmate” which certainly must have made things a bit awkward for Will Smith. But she surprised fans even more when she revealed that Tupac proposed to her while he was in prison. Ultimately, she turned him down and she seems to still think that was the right idea. In another new interview, she claims that “Pac would have divorced my a*s so fast.” Check out her full thoughts below.

Jada Pinkett Smith On Marrying Tupac

One person who has been surprisingly quiet through all of this is Will Smith himself. He took to social media to share a video of himself sleeping on a boat. The video also included Will completely ignoring the notifications on his cell phone. The video received positive responses from fans and fellow celebrities in the comments. Many praised him for the fact that he hasn’t made the same level of public show that Jada has for the various news stories.

Others who are urging privacy are Smith’s children. A new report claims that Jaden and Willow feel bad for their dad amid all of the news. They also apparently are calling for private matters to stay private in the situation. Unfortunately, with Jada’s memoir releasing today that doesn’t seem particularly likely. What do you think of Jada Pinkett Smith’s claim that Tupac would divorce her as soon as she was out of prison? Let us know in the comment section below.

For decades, Jada Pinkett-Smith and Will Smith have been recognized as the epitome of “Black Love” long before Jay-Z and Beyonce were even an item, but now with Jada’s comments about their marriage, including calling the late Tupac Shakur her “soulmate,” has brought the sanctity of their marriage into question. Even an artist like J. Cole has called BS in their relationship without saying a word by omitting his “Jada And Will Love” line from the performance of his smash hit “No Role Modelz”.

A recently posted video shows the North Carolina rap star purposely omitting the strained couple’s names from a song aptly titled “No Role Modelz”. How fitting.

J. Cole Skips “Jada And Will Love” Line While Performing “No Role Modelz”

by

J. Cole recently made headlines when he noticeably skipped a line from his hit song “No Role Modelz” during a live performance. Specifically the line he skipped referenced “that Jada and that Will love.” However, this particular lyric from the song had garnered significant attention due to its allusion to the personal lives of the famous Hollywood couple, Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith. J. Cole’s decision to omit the line during his performance immediately sparked curiosity and discussion among fans and media outlets. The verse in question originally reads: “I want a real love, dark-skinned Aunt Viv love. That Jada and that Will love. That leave a toothbrush at your crib love. And you ain’t gotta wonder whether that’s your kid love.”

Moreover, the change in the performance was seen by many as a deliberate move by J. Cole, potentially aimed at respecting the privacy of the Smiths and not engaging further in a topic that had already gained substantial media attention. In recent years, Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith had been at the center of several controversies and discussions surrounding their marriage and personal lives, making it a sensitive subject for public commentary. Furthermore, Jada Pinkett Smith in particular has been speaking out lately on their relationship and revealing that the two of them have actually been separated for some time.

However, the altered rendition of “No Role Modelz” raised commentary from social media. Many fans and observers expressed their support for J. Cole’s decision to skip the line, seeing it as a respectful gesture that prioritizes the feelings and privacy of those mentioned in the song. However, others saw it as him saying Will and Jada aren’t couple goals anymore. “He know don’t nobody want that “it’s complicated” type of love. Lol” one person wrote. “Please leave Cole out of that mess lol he always does that when performing the song to let the crowd sing along,” another person chimed in. “Lol I’m glad he skipped that line. He tired of her too,” someone else said.

Moreover, in other news, J. Cole just landed his first number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. He’s featured on “First Person Shooter” with Drake on the For All The Dogs album. It’s safe to say Cole is enjoying the moment. What do you think about J. Cole skipping the Will and Jada line? Let us know your thoughts on HNHH.

On Sunday, October 15, he decided to troll Jada Pinkett Smith with a social media post, demanding that she “Free Will Smith,” her longtime husband.

In the Instagram post, 50 Cent uploaded a screenshot of her latest confession to The New York Times, in which she admitted to sell illicit drugs when she was a teenager. In the caption, he wrote, “Alright, enough is enough. Free Will Smith. Wtf is going on,”

Pinkett Smith’s admission is one of the stories featured in her latest memoir, Worthy, which will hit book sleeves and online retailers on October 17. Find more information here.
