“She wants to be part of the thug life”: Jada Pinkett Smith Blasted For Obsessing Over Tupac By Candace Owens
American actress and talk show host Jada Pinkett Smith stepped into show business in 1990 by appearing in an episode of True Colors. She also made guest appearances on the television series Doogie Howser, M.D. and 21 Jump Street. She made her debut in the 1993 film Menace II Society. She got married to Will Smith in December 1997 after going public with their relationship in 1995.
Jada Pinkett Smith’s marriage with Will Smith has been recently under public scrutiny due to the bombshell revelations that she made about her relationship with the superstar around the release of her memoir Worthy. She has also made revelations about her relationship with late rapper Tupac Shakur. Recently, Candace Owens called out Pinkett Smith for her obsession with Shakur.
Jada Pinkett Smith Was Called Out By Candace Owens
Jada Pinkett Smith developed a close relationship with Tupac Shakur while they were attending the Baltimore School for the Arts. She even helped the rapper get a guest role on her breakthrough sitcom A Different World in 1993. She also appeared in Shakur’s music videos Keep Ya Head Up and Temptations. Although she intended to direct the music video for the rapper’s song California Love, she backed out despite having come up with the concept for the video.
Pinkett Smith has a lot of history with the Dear Mama and has often brought him up even after his untimely demise at the age of 25. Addressing the whole thing that has been going on with the Scream 2 star’s relationship with Will Smith, commentator and activist Candace Owens made some rather harsh comments about the actress.
During an episode of her podcast named Candace Owens Podcast, Owens said:
“Everything that she has told us about herself and her upbringing and her lifestyle and the things that she craves indicate that what she really wants is somebody that’s a little harder than Will Smith. Absolutely. She is obsessed with Tupac; she’s talked about Tupac for years following his death… She wants to be a part of the thug life.”
Candace Owens then went on to point out how Will Smith mentioned in his own book that he was jealous of his wife’s relationship with Shakur. The activist went on to say that Jada Pinkett Smith is meant for the streets.
Jada Pinkett Smith Never Had a Romantic Relationship with Tupac Shakur
Jada Pinkett Smith has never been known to hold back the details about her personal life. It is something that has often been criticized by the public but that does not deter her from being open about her personal life. Time and time again, she has mentioned that she had a close relationship with Tupac Shakur. However, both of the stars have claimed that their relationship has been like that of siblings.
In an interview with Howard Stern in 2015, The Matrix Reloaded actress confirmed that there was no attraction between her and Shakur despite all the love they had for each other. She also recounted how they tried to kiss each other once, but it was “disgusting”.
Unfortunately, The Nutty Professor actress was not on speaking terms with her close friend when he was murdered in 1996. She deeply regretted this fact after his demise.
