Jada Pinkett-Smith has been sitting on a bombshell of a revelation all these years and has just revealed for the first time ever, what that is. Turns out, our girl, Jada, isn’t as ‘wholesome’ as many of us probably think she is- intelligent, talented, and beautiful, yes…but not entirely ‘wholesome.’
It’s no secret that she and ‘Pac were closer than close back in the day, although she says they were ‘just friends’ (with the exception of that one reported kiss). The thing that has us trippin,’ here at ILOSM, is what Jada revealed during her prior interview on “Sway in the Morning” satellite radio show.
She Was A WHAT?!!
Jada was on the show to promote the then-upcoming movie, Girls Trip. When asked about her relationship with Tupac, she started off by saying, “I haven’t been completely honest.” Then she proceeded to explain that she won’t reveal the whole story because she’s writing a book about her time with ‘Pac, but she did reveal one major fact: Jada was a drug dealer during the time that she and ‘Pac were homies and no, it was NOT Tupac’s doing. Jada was already in the drug game by the time she and ‘Pac became cool.
See what else she said in the video clip below:
“It’s kinda hard because I haven’t really told the whole story. […] When I first met ‘Pac…I was a drug dealer. […] As I was coming out of the life, he was going more into the life.”
Well ain’t that blip?!! Who would’ve ever thought Jada Pinkett-Smith- the talented actress, devoted wife to the legendary Will Smith, dedicated mother to Willow and Jaden, the generous philanthropist- was hustlin’ on the blocks of Baltimore, MD back in the day.
Now, we all know that Jada’s and Will’s marriage has had few bumps in the road, with Will even publicly admitting (on The Breakfast Club a few years ago) that he was jealous of Jada’s and Tupac’s ‘friendship’ back in the day. However, it’s still beautiful to see the 180 degree turn she’s taken in her life, and it’s equally as inspiring to millions of people. Can’t wait to read that book. And by the way, Will Smith is abut to drop his tell-all memoir about their marriage soon too…and it sounds like it’s gonna be hella interesting.
