Jada Pinkett Smith believes Tupac Shakur was her other half.

The actress who has been married to Will Smith for over 25 years said that the late rapper was her soulmate.

“It just wasn’t possible.”
“I talk about it in the book, you know. … It’s that friendship-love chemistry, trust me.”

Will Smith was not a fan of Jada and Tupac Shakur’s friendship

In a former interview, the Worthy author remembered the first time she met Shakur and how their friendship blossomed.

The mother of two recalled,

“It was the first day and he came over to me and introduced himself,”
“And in high school, Pac was a little funny-looking. Definitely from looking at him, wasn’t necessarily the type of cat that I would even like, deal with.”

The actress added,

“But as soon as he approached me, he was like a magnet. Once you paid attention to him he kind of sucked you in. And we hit it off from that moment on … I don’t think either one of us thought we would have made it in the way that we did, but we knew we were gonna do something.”
