Tupac and Jada Smith’s relationship

In an interview with The Breakfast Club in early 2020, Jada’s now-husband, Will Smith, admitted their friendship made him jealous.

When host Charlamagne Tha God asked Will if he was ever jealous of “the love Jada had for Tupac,” the Fresh Prince actor replied, “F*** yea.”

“That was in the early days,” Will continued.

“That was a big regret for me. They grew up together but they never had a sexual relationship but now they had come into that age where that was a possibility, and Jada was with me.”

“I was deeply insecure and I wasn’t man enough to handle that relationship,” he confessed.

They briefly met in 1997 when Jada, now 48, auditioned for a role as Smith’s character’s girlfriend on the ’90s sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Unfortunately, the five-foot actress didn’t get the part because she was too short. Instead, the role went to Nia Long.

Still, despite their drastic height difference, Pinkett Smith would soon become Smith’s leading lady off-screen a few years later. To this date, the pair have never appeared in a movie or on a TV show together
