2Pac once stole the girlfriend of one of the Black Eyed Peas while they were eating at a restaurant, according to will.i.am.
The BEP frontman recently sat down for an interview with DJ Whoo Kid, where he was asked if he had any interactions with Biggie and ‘Pac when they were still alive.

Although he never had a chance to meet either of them, will.i.am told a story about the time 2Pac lured away Black Eyed Peas member Apl.de.Ap’s girl right in front of him at a Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles.
“I never met Biggie,” he said. “I never had an interaction with 2Pac, but Apl.de.Ap in the Black Eyed Peas, he had this girlfriend. I don’t wanna name her name or put her on blast, and they were eating at freaking Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles.

“She was hot, bro. She was a beautiful Puerto Rican young girl, when we were kids. 2Pac did like this [beckoning gesture] and then she was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’ll be right back.’ 30 minutes later, [Apl’s] chicken waffles got all cold, freaking syrup got all freaking stiff, butter got freaking liquidy.
“And he was like, ‘She ain’t coming back…’ That’s his classic 2Pac [story].”
will.i.am ruffled the feathers of 2Pac’s fans last year by admitting he was never a fan of the late rap legend’s music, while naming other Hip Hop acts he preferred.
“I’m such a Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul head that I don’t like 2Pac and Biggie,” he told The Art of Dialogue. “That kind of music doesn’t speak to my spirit. I like Boogie Down Productions, KRS-One … if it’s like 2Pac or Biggie? It’s KRS-One. Why those two?
“If it’s 2Pac and Biggie, I don’t hold them up like that. I hold Eric B. and Rakim like that. 2Pac’s dope, don’t get me wrong. It’s not like I don’t think he’s dope. It spoke to the projects. My escape is De La/Tribe out the projects. It took me out the projects while I was still in the projects.”
He continued: “It took me out the projects physically, as far as being able to reach my dreams, that was my path out. And it took me out of the projects as far as while I was in the projects, the worlds is painted for me.

“It kept me safe while I was in the projects. Had I loved 2Pac and Biggie while I was in the projects, I probably would have been stuck in the projects still.”
