2Pac’s reputation as a ladies man is supposedly what’s to blame for his failed attempt at a romance with Janet Jackson, at least that’s what Spice 1 claims.
In a recent interview with the Art of Dialogue, the veteran West Coast rapper was asked about Michael Jackson reportedly turning down an opportunity to collaborate with 2Pac over his alleged alliance to The Notorious B.I.G.
Spice 1 laughed it off, saying: “Who’s to know what Mike would listen to? That’s some funny shit. He was ridin’ with Biggie? All I can do is laugh at that.” But then he started reflecting on his time with 2Pac and how he would routinely push him to take his friendship with Janet Jackson to the next level.
“I was egging ‘Pac on to get with Janet,” he continued. “I kept on like, ‘Hey, man. You need to go holla at Janet, my n-gga. You trippin’.’ I don’t know what happened with that. I guess she got mad at him and wanted him to take an AIDS test and all kinds of crazy shit. But damn. Still to this day, I’m like, ‘Man, you should have got with Janet.’ But JD [Jackson’s ex-boyfriend Jermaine Dupri] handling that though.”
When asked if 2Pac ever spoke to him about Janet Jackson, Spice 1 replied: “He was fuckin’ with her and everything was cool. He was tryin’ to holler at her and everything. Maybe she was gonna holler at him or talk to him.
“But I think, you know, man …. you be asking me some crazy shit. He was like, ‘Man, shit she was taking too long.’ I think he ended up fucking one of her dancers or something and shit, and that struck a nerve.
“She wasn’t fuckin’ with that. She was like, ‘N-gga, you out your goddamn mind.’ That kinda ended everything right there I think — from my perspective, from my view. Something like that. Janet wasn’t fuckin’ with that. She was like, ‘No, n-gga.'”
Spice 1 went on to describe 2Pac as a “thug Michael Jackson” but acknowledged they are both “very famous people.” Considering both have been physically gone for years and are still so often the subject of conversation speak to their impact on the world.
2Pac & Janet Jackson's 'Poetic Justice' Co-Star Regina King Says Their Chemistry Was Evident
As for 2Pac and Janet Jackson, the two worked together on the 1993 film Poetic Justice while the pop star was still married to René Elizondo. According to co-star Regina King, the chemistry between the two was obvious. King made the revelation in the Lifetime Television Network docuseries Janet Jackson that premiered in January.
“Having Janet and 2Pac was huge because he was one of the biggest Hip Hop stars and she was definitely the biggest pop star,” King said. “I think they were both impressed with each other, but I don’t feel like either one of them wanted to let the other know.”
Towards the end of the film, 2Pac and Jackson shared a kiss, which perhaps appeared a little too genuine. King added: “I don’t know if Janet will ever admit to it, but there was a bit of that chemistry going on. You could cut the air in the room at times. But she was in a relationship with René, make no mistake about it.”
Somehow I still do believe that 2 PAC is very much alive and well laying low somewhere out there… Also I’m pretty optimistic that 2 pacalypse has already begun.
Pac should’ve put a baby up in Janet.
Janet fire but Pac was supposed to be pressed about the CHANCE to rock her to sleep??
Dude…I would advise you to take a walk down memory lane and google some pics of 90’s Janet. Granted, Janet has always been fire…but that 90’s – 2000’s Janet!!!!! I would argue there ain’t been ANY WOMAN singer that FINE since.
ASHANTI IS FINER
Janet was married to Renee at the time she and 2Pac assumed their rolls for Poetic Justice. John Singleton had already come out and said that he himself started the rumor about Janet requesting 2Pac to take an Aids test before he kiss her and 2Pac himself said that after the movie was done Renee and Janet’s people had her number changed. Why do people feel they have to lie.
Agree. She did this movie to help her image in the black community while expanding her acting resume’. This article is very stupid. She had absolutely no interest in Tupac.
Next news: Dru Down reminisces Pac picking his nose and throwing a bogey at him.
Sounds like Miss Jackson dodged a bullet. This man was an abusive pos with a history of assaulting women. But apparently he gets a pass because he made great music.
Did he assault you fish were you there
Don’t do that Bruh !!unless u like letting the world know how dumb you sound and probably look even dumber .. but it would be PAC’s nature that would forgive you cause you didn’t help nor hurt him with your comment!
