In a series of tweets sent out on what would have been Tupac Shakur’s 46th birthday (June 16), Jada Pinkett-Smith debunked the accuracy of the new Tupac biopic All Eyez On Me and claimed many of the scenes involving her friendship with the slain rapper didn’t exactly go down the way it was portrayed in the film.
“Forgive me … my relationship to Pac is too precious to me for the scenes in All Eyez On Me to stand as truth,” she wrote.
At one point in the movie, Tupac, who is played by actor and ‘Pac doppelgänger Demetrius Shipp, Jr., reads a poem to Pinkett-Smith, who is portrayed by actress Kat Graham, but Pinkett-Smith denied he ever shared it with her while he was alive.
“Pac never read me that poem,” she wrote. “I didn’t know that poem existed until it was printed in his book.”
Pinkett-Smith and Tupac were high school classmates in Baltimore, and although there was a chance for a romantic relationship at one point, it never worked out and the two remained close friends until his death in 1996. In an interview with radio host Howard Stern, she described their failed attempt at a kiss.
‘There was a time when I was like, ‘Just kiss me! Let’s just see how this goes,'” she told Stern. “And when I tell you it had to be the most disgusting kiss for us both. The only way I can put it is, the higher power just did not want that.”
As she continued going through the film scene-by-scene, she called the portrayal of their relationship as “deeply hurtful,” but was forgiving of both Shipp, Jr. and Graham. “To @KatGraham and @Dshippjr this is not fault of yours,” she said. “Thank you for bringing so much heart and spirit to your roles.
“You both did a beautiful job with what you were given,” she added. “Thank you both.”
Mrs. Will Smith’s final tweet makes it clear she carries the relationship close to her and cherishes the time she got to spend with the Hip Hop legend. “Happy birthday Pac, you are cradled in my heart for eternity. I love you.”
“Maek Will Smith wanna cuss maek Jada get on deez nutz” real spit doe.
Pac and Jada went to school together in Baltimore not New york, this author/writer/reporter just doesn’t do his research does he?
What do you expect for probably $30K a year salaries with a bachelors degree pretty sad but if you come here for proper journalism better go elsewhere lol
They said Baltimore in the article.
Well. Sad to say it, but that’s the movie business. I mean, The Revenant ( quick example) wasn’t all too accurate. Sometimes a little puffy remix is added to the lives of those that movies are based on. It’s kind of expected.
Bitch aint a bitch. Check into it. Been had a cock the whole time
The movie was excellent.. don’t be fool with what Jada is saying.. her part in the movie might not be accurate.. which is just a small part anyway.. 10 out of 10
Jada on some bullshit. She MAKES movies so she understands how the fuck it goes. For example, there was no friend of Malcolm X’s named Shorty played by Spike Lee. That was a combination of 3 different people in his life. There wasn’t time to touch on them all so they did that. Pac wrote the poem for her. Who gives a fuck if he read it to her in that exact location. They were trying to portray their relationship in about the 5 minutes they had to do it. And the movie didn’t say he moved to Cali for his career. It clearly showed his mom sending them away to stay with a friend Why is she being petty over dumb shit?
none of these movies are accurate “straight out of compton” was alot of fiction also just sayin
All I have to say is. I want some of that cougar action. She has been looking good lately.
I hope she’s not being serious with this shit. It’s a movie, so it’s made into a story to fit in a 2 hour period, as you can hardly cover a man’s life in that period. What did she want, them showing some boring shit like phone calls between them and shit to portray their relationship? I thought she was talking about some serious shit like they had a sex scene between them (even though everybody still think they fucked anyway). SMH.
I’m pretty sure if Tupac was still alive that these two wouldn’t be friends. She is the only part of his life I could never understand… what did he see in her? I think she’s a weirdo… have you seen her interviews? WTF!? She is a good looking woman, but that’s about it. “You are cradled in my heart for eternity” Baarf
What I want to know why Jada never directed the California love video as the Mad max concept was her idea. The truth is that Jada and Pac were not on speaking terms in the final year of his life and thats why she didn’t even go to see him in that Vegas hospital. Jada herself has re-imagined her relationship to Pac after his death. Pac didn’t speak care much about his so called friends like Treach, Jada and many others when he was on death row records.
fuck tupac and this shitty movie anyway. a lil yachty movie would be the most lit movie ever.
Yeah I’m sure he lives a waaay more exciting life than Pac… have you seen yachty’s interviews? The dude is a border line retard. He has a hard time carrying an intelligent conversation. He’s a happy passionate little bastard.. but he’s not interesting.
Maybe Will smith caught feelings so she feels the need to address?
Can somebody PLEASE fuck this broad in da ass!
obviously Will ain’t doing it!
